OUCH part 2
so i went to the orthopedist on thursday, who was an hour and 40 minutes late for the appointment (him, not me) and he informed me that i have a herniated disc and a lumbar strain, (the lumbar is the muscle on the bottom of your back, basically where all my pain is located), and i have to go for an MRI on monday and the BESTEST news of all is that i need physical therapy...oh joy...maybe its just me, but wouldnt physical therapy entail making my back feel WORSE, before they make it feel better? cuz think about it, theyre going to be making me strain it and do all these excercises and to me it just sounds like it will do a lot more harm than good, but whatever...im upset that im missing work, im not a full timer so even though i initially hurt my back at work 2 weeks ago, i cannot collect workers comp or receive any kind of disability...I NEED MONEY! I DRIVE AN SUV PEOPLE AND GAS IS NOT CHEAP!!! i shall leave a tin can outside my front door and call it the "feel sorry for Grace" fund...any contributors???
