Not too much new with me... This week:
Monday: Nothing new. Went to work, stopped by the firehouse to drop off my hockey ticket for wednesday since I have class. Home, TV, sleep.
Tuesday: Work, followed by an evaluation for Physical Therapy. Home, TV and Sleep again.
Wednesday: Woke up in pain. Called in sick. Spent most of the day in bed. Skipped class and watched TV instead. Also listened to hockey on the computer. Fell asleep eventually.
Thursday: Forced myself out of bed. Showered, went to work. Went to my first actual PT session. They put heat and electrode stimulation on for a while so I played games on my phone. Then they had me ride a recumbent bike for 10min. Back was OK, but had a pinching pain feeling in my right hip. Struggled through the 10min. Walked around a bit, then laid down on one of the tables. Did 5 different stretches as instructed by the therapist. Once I was all done, I signed my paper and headed out. It felt good, so I didn't bother with ice. BIG mistake. Got home and it was sore from the 45-minute drive, so I laid down and put some heat on it to try and help loosen it up. Was starting to get hungry/thirsty and tried to get up. Got 1 step away from my bed and collapsed into a heap. Something pinched in my back and basically crippled me. I crawled to the living room where I collapsed again. My dad got me a drink. After laying on the floor in the living room for probably at least an hour, I was able to hobble back to my bed. I put ice on my back and drifted off to sleep.
Friday: Woke up feeling pretty good. Showered and headed off to work. They've been trying to find space at work to add more headcount (trying to free up cubicles to hire more people for extra work we're taking on). The facilities manager offered my co-worker and me a large conference room (GIANT CORNER OFFICE) in return for our 3 cubicles and office (PC lab) that we have now. We measured things out a bit and it seems to be a little more room than we have now, plus we'll have a locked door if we're busy and/or don't want to be bothered. Right now we're just trying to map out the layout of the room. If things go through with this, I was offered the corner desk. I am ecstatic. Now will I not only have the best desk on the second floor, I'll be able to lock the door anytime I need privacy (conference calls, studying for tests, etc). I can also put a mirror up in the corner so I can see anyone coming. Sweetness. After work was Hockey, 7-2 win over Hershey. HUGE win as they're in 2nd place behind us. Then home to bed.
Saturday: Woke up sore and tired again. UGH. Ended up missing class AGAIN. Finally dragged my ass out of bed and got around for another hockey game. 2-1 Shoot-out win. Sleep.
Today: Watched the MotoGP Jerez series race. Heard about IRL driver Paul Dana's untimely death after a major accident in the warm-up run this morning. Watched more TV. And now I'm hitting the shower to head over to a friend's house to do something. *shrug*
Hope everyone's doing well out there in LJ Land!! I really miss having this at work...
