Hello all my new and old friends, I hope this note finds everyone in a low or NO pain day! That other post was getting way too long so let's stick w/ the rules and start a new!
I'd just like to do a quick thanks to those I didn't at the end of the last post!
Patti> Please feel better soon, thanks for your words on my Wacko boss, everything you said was right on! You're the best!
Angel> You have way too much on your plate to be worring about my little problems, but thanks, it means alot to me!
Chart> I sure hope your "hugger" gets back in shape soon as you give some of the best cyber hugz around!
HW-50> I was only kidding about my old posts, you'd be much beeter off introducing yourself like PA suggested and read all the new posts! We are always going forwards here!! Thanks again for your kind words and please stick around!
PA> Do I really have to say what I feel about you??? I think everyone here already knows! What would we do w/o you????
F.J.> You already know what I'm going to say before I do, but I'll say it anyway> Now why would it surprize me that you were in Hati already helping the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere?? Muchos Grass to our Our resident Saint!
Now for the good and bad news!
My Doc finally called me from Hati and I have an apt. for some more xrays next Wed. AM and will see him in the afternoon. It scares me because the last time this happened, he did the same thing and said there was nothing wrong. Could it be his ego? I do still have 3 ruptured disks above my fussion and it couldn't be a problem w/ them because he descided to do a single fussion and not a triple? I thought the world of this guy but I'm starting to have my doubts now, what can he see from an xray anyway? That his work is still OK? Oh Boy!! What about all the stenosis and disks he talked about before the surgery??
My boss is still freaking out every time I talk to him! He's crazy! We go over the same things every time. I don't even like calling him because it's the same thing every time. How I'm killing his biz and I'm just like all the rest of his people who call in sick every day. This morning I reminded him that last year I didn't call in sick once from March to November! Not once! But it just doesn't matter now, I'm ruining his biz!
Now, I'll probably get sent back to work next Weds with a horrable pain in my neck and spine w/ no recourse at all because of a Wacko boss and a surgeon w/ a big ego! I know it's too soon to wory but I'm usally right about these things! But I've dealt with pain & work before> nothing new there! But it's just so dam depressing!
Sorry as usuall for all the whine and not even any cheeze!
