I started this blog....whilst being "removed" from my job,pending an asinine investigation by a so called management team from corporate america....(ok...so a year later,I am still not over the fact that they accused me of something so crazy,and if they had just looked into my personal file,they would have seen that I had been nothing but a great employee...but hey...it is corporate america,and clearly they have proven to me and a whole lot of other people,that they are NOT capable of thinking for themselves,or outside the box....ok...end of rant!)
So a year later,I am again not working.....but this time not due to their incompetence,but due to a herniated disc in my L5, encroaching 18mm into my thecal sac....(can you tell that I have been paying attention at all of my doctor's appointments!)
A lot of people have asked me,if I am going stir crazy,just sitting at home...and the answer is a resound NO...
People forget that I am not at 100% of my human functions....a walk to pay rent,which in my normal state,would take me 20mins,and have no effect on me,now takes about an hour (with my cane) and leaves me in pain...vacuuming...ha...forget that,groceries with my purple chariot takes me a lot longer,and is quite an adventure,and doing laundry...well,that's a one day affair!
Taking the gabapentin medication makes me very sleepy and sometimes makes me "high"...and I still have constant pain in my back and lower thigh...
So all and all...lying on the couch and watching every episode of Prison Break is like a little piece of heaven!
Here are a few photos of the lovely Lola,I took them this morning...after finally having had the energy to wash my crazy hair...at least it has not fallen out...one of the possible side effects of gabapentin,although only reported in men so far....
See the Jennifer posters I made for my husband in the last photo.....
That is LOVE!
