I just finished 11 hours at work. In fact most days this week I have worked 10 or more. Monday I did 12. My body is rebelling and working on it's revenge. Apparently it has decided my punishment will be New Pain ! Yippie. Just look what I won. Oh wait that wasn't a prize. I guess I am partly insane. I have to be to keep pushing and pushing my body into areas I know it doesn't want to go. My back is aching really bad right now. The pain is heading up the scale and I am not sure just where it will settle in at.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Wish it was pain management but nope that one will have to wait until Tuesday next week. Then I get to go in and lay it out for them. After they demand money of course. Everyone has their hand out which is why I am working as much OT as my body will tolerate. Truth is I sure wouldn't do it if I didn't need the money so bad. Hell I wouldn't do it if I was just saving up for a new car or to get the AC fixed, but keeping the doctors happy and paid is a must. No matter what have to keep the cash flowing towards them. Sad fact that they have to just about come before food. So here I sit, pain shooting down my right leg to about my knee. The pain in my left leg is currently a nice burning feeling under the foot and across the top of the toes. Maybe it will go away when I get my new script for Lyrica, The 150 mg script that my doctor and Rightsource finally got right. I swear I hate that company. My Urologist has faxed in 3 different scripts for me yet Rightsource says they have no record of them. All three were in response to Their request ! This is the company I am forced to use with my Health plan coverage from work. I have to get my maintenance medications from them. Trouble is they don't call for refills from my doctor until after I run out. It is supposed to be on automatic yet I have to call and then go online and order. If I don't they don't get shipped. How is that for automatic refills. Worst pharmacy I have ever used. So back to my feet. That nice burning sensation in my left foot is joined by a real sharp pain in my left knee and some really wonderful pain shooting down the inside of both thighs. Let's not mention my spine which feels like someone put it into a giant vice and is slowly turning it tighter and tighter. When they get tired of turning it they jab red hot knives into it. Then we can move up my spine to the cervical area. There is a really great burning sensation right between my shoulder blades. The top of my left hand feels fuzzy below the pinky finger and a couple of fingers over. My right hand hurts right across the middle and along the tops of my fingers.
So that is where I am at right now. So happy I only have half a day left to work then it is VACATION TIME. Well STAYCATION TIME at least. No cash to go anywhere. Hell we have not had a vacation in 10 years. Might be nice to go up to the Thumb of Michigan and enjoy the lake and the weather. Oh well. Will be most likely try and clean up the back room. Should get hazardous duty pay for that. Maybe get some yard work done if the back cooperates. Will try and catch up on sleep. Will kind of be like a taste of retirement. Of course the way the Republicans are going there will be nothing left to retire with. Social Security will be out the window and broke unless of course we have a liberal miracle but I doubt I can get that lucky. Heck I am hoping we will have single payer before I kick the proverbial bucket. Maybe I can retire by 90.
