fix my back

looks like I have disk issues and will need physical therapy along with pain management, so far I’m on the right track and should be able to get back to work now, so instead of having this goal staring at me everyday – I’m marking this as done for now.

scared i’m not going to be able to work full-time in my chosen field because of the worsening pain. please please please body heal yourself.

set up for Thursday…

2-3 hr appt…what!???

I will never go that route again. My back hurts even more than it did before…next up a back specialist.

for myself anyway, so F made the stupid appointment for me. I print out the name and address, etc. and get there right on time, well the damn office is closed- not just closed, but empty closed. When will I learn that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. I finally drove down the road to a newer clinic that recently opened up and asked the girl there if there was such doctor there. She said no, and made it sound like she died or something, so I asked her if she had any available openings. Luckily she had a 4:00, so I filled out the paperwork, using my most fancy handwriting (I was in a bad mood because I was not in my comphy clothes)after filling out the paperwork this doogie houser doctor comes in to get me…great!
Actually he was about my age, maybe a couple of years younger. He did all kinds of lovely techniques and now wants to see my money (I mean me) again tomorrow…
I can’t really say if it worked or not, I haven’t had time to sit in my favorite chair since getting back.

they had an opening for this afternoon. That means I have to be somewhat presentable…guess I have to say goodbye to the my robe for a few hours, maybe even put on some makeup today.
I’m really glad no one has been asking the “what are you wearing” question lately because for the past few days my answer would either be
my goose down blanket, sheet or my robe.

I’ve had x-rays and a stupid M.R.I

...Apparently it’s muscle spasms, well it hurts all the time and I’ve been dealing with this for way too long. It’s time for somebody to fix this. I would have a hard time even sitting at a desk without having the ability to come and go as I please, and lifting is completely out of the question. Apparently I’m not supposed to lift even a gallon of milk…ooops!

I’ve been working really hard on getting my back into good shape. Yoga and hiking almost every day and I found a great deep tissue girl. It has been feeling much better.

I start a new job tomorrow where I imagine I will be doing quite a bit of sitting. Here’s to hoping they have a good, comfortable chair for me and that my back does well.

I have started an exercise routine that I intend to gradually add to, but the things I’ve chosen to start with are all intended to help strengthen my core and flexibility which should help things.

until it screams at me.
