Winding Down 2009
This will be a condensed version of my goings on since my last post. My current computer configuration is not conducive to typing extended journal entries, hence the postponement of postings! What I really need (and am looking into getting) is a wireless keyboard!
I am no longer working the early shift at HealthNet! Oddly enough, my last day ( Read more... )

I hope you get better luck with your next job.
And can't you just post shorter entries more often? :)

I like an occasional long post - do them myself.
And that lamp is super! Want!
Your back pain sounds like mine. They did an MRI and discovered that besides having no cartilege in my verterbrae, the bones rubbed together creating bone spurs that pinch my spinal cord. Back surgery is too drastic a measure. They won't do that unless I lose the feeling on my left side. So I take Vicadin (only when it's bad - Hal takes it regularly and has built up a resistance) and my doctor also prescribed Lidoderm patches, which deliver lidocaine (like the dentist uses) to the area. Mostly I just avoid severe movements.
One point is at the base of my spine, so I, too, can't sit for long periods of time - no more movie theaters :( And besides, theaters don't have a pause button when I have to pee.
Actually doing anything over a long period of time creates problems.
But it's manageable. Without prescriptions I would recommend the thermal patches you get at the drugstore, and super doses of Advil.
