Things have been crazy lately.
Work is stressful. I'm supposed to be part-time (15-20 hours a week). But, I've been working nearly 40 hours every week, including Sundays which means I'm missing church, and feeling tired all of the time and disconnected from everyone.
I got in that wreck a while back, and my back and neck were messed up. Now, I'm feeling much better in that area, but my feet have been hurting me like crazy. At first I thought it was just because I'm on my feet all of the time at work in dress shoes which gives no support to my flat arches. But they've been hurting a good 3 weeks now, and it doesn't matter what kind of shoes I wear or how much medicine I take, or how much I stay off of them, or how much I ice they still hurt. I went to the foot dr. this morning for the 3rd time, and he didn't like anything he saw or anything I had to say. He asked me if I was feeling sore anywhere else, and I told him that my wrist has been hurting a lot lately too. And that made him concerned. We've already taken x-rays of my feet, and nothing is broken. We've already tried arthritis medicine, and nothing has worked. So...now I have to go get bloodwork. And, I guess it's because my mom had cancer, but every time I have to get bloodwork I get scared that they are going to tell me I have cancer.
I'm so tired of going to the dr. I've been going an average of 4-5 times a week between Chripractor appointments for my back, and apointments for my feet. I'm tired of $15 co-pays, and 20million $2 prescriptions...they really do add up after a while! I'm beginning to go broke. (And what is up with gas being $2.50 a gallon?!?!?! Do you know how much gas an explorer eats?!?!) And, to make myself feel better after my dr's apointment this morning, I spent more money on starbucks coffee and mcdonalds breakfast (after putting $20 in my car, and not even filling it up half way!). And, I would have gone shopping if I could walk with out limping. I'm probably slower than a turtle right now!
I'm scared right now, and I need a hug, but everyone's at work...except for me. But, I do get to work tonight, from 1:30 to 9:30, and stand on my swollen aching feet for 8 hours... YAY! :-(
And then I get to go in the morning to get needles stuck in my arm, and blood pulled from my veins. I always feel sick when they do that. The room gets small and unbearably hot, and my hands turn into soaking wet sea sponges, and my somache does flips, and I can't stand. And every time I've ever gotten blood drawn, they never find anything to be wrong... I don't want there to be anything wrong. Bat I don't want there to be something wrong, and not be able to find it either.
Anyway, I need to get off of here, so I can get ready for my 2nd dr's appointment of the day - the chiropractor! At least going there always makes me feel better.
So...if you read this today, and you want to encourage me you can give me a call on my cell phone and leave me a message if I don't answer. Or send me an email. Or leave a comment here for me. I would smile tons...
:-D
