For those that do not know

I think I mentioned this earlier in my journal but in case I did not here is a little history: I hurt my back in March when I was carrying 9 register tills (drawers) to the cash office at work. Some person, who at this point shall remain nameless, put a box where they should not have. I could not see said box because of carrying nine register tills and promptly tripped over said box. It was an interesting thing to be sure. I hurt my knees and twisted ankles and wrenched my back. Sleep and a few days off and lots of ibubrofen and I was good as new. Or so I thought. Come to find out, that this is sooooo not the case. I was waiting on a customer Sunday and moved ever so slightly and felt like someone stuck a knife in my back and twisted it. Twas not a pleasant experience nor is it now. I ended up in the Emergency Room. Now, I always go to the same hospital. It is so much easier that way on my primary care doctor. I came into the ER, they took my vitals and immediately handed me 2 vicodin. Now, why they did this, I have no clue. I had not seen a doctor yet, nor had they asked me any important questions, like, have you taken anything already for the pain? Of course by this time, I did not care cause the 5 ibuprofin I had taken did not work. I took the 2 vicoden. Saw the doctor about 10 minutes later. He sent me home with orders to go home, put heat on it and gave be a prescription for vicodin and flexorel. The vicodin hit after I went back to work, clocked out, finished filling out my work comp accident form and went to the nearest Walgreens. At Walgreens, I was quite happy to wander the store. That is when the Vicodin hit. I must say, that it was the most interesting high that I have had in a long long long time. I managed to drive the rest of the way home. I think I did ok, no cops stopped me. Got home, took the flexorel like the doctor told me to, went to bed with the heating pad and woke up the next morning in the same position I fell asleep in. Felt really good for about 2 minutes until I moved. More vicodin and flexorel. Slept most of the day. Worked Tuesday (only took Vicodin at work) Was off Wednesday and slept most of that day too... cause I took more vicodin and flexorel. They work great if I do not have to be anywhere.

Doctors appointment Thursday. Oh the joy. A new doctor for me. (A new Pregnant Doctor) My old one left the practice. Now WHY does every doctor have to test your reflexes and all the fibromyalgia pressure points when it says right in my record that I was diagnosed with Fibro 10 years ago and it lists all the medications we have tried. Well, all I can say is, she came close to dying that day. In addition to having back spasms, I am also having a serious fibromyalgia flare up.

It is the first time, that I went home from the doctors and upon removing my clothes found more bruises than when I went in. To be fair, she did apologize for hurting me but she had to know where my major points are. On the other hand, I was seriously thinking about the things I wished her unborn child would do to her. But changed the thoughts rapidly as I do not want that karma.

The bright side of all this week is, that Today is my last day of full time work at Borders. I go on vacation at 4pm tomorrow and I do not go back. I go to my new job on the 22nd. Woohoo!

Leaving Tuesday for Gen Con. I hope whoever rides with me can handle me stopping a few more times than I normally would. See, I can not stand in one position for a long period nor can I sit for long periods. Doctor's orders. Oh and she gave me new drugs!! It should be amusing to say the least! Smile, I am not driving with these drugs. I take them at night!
