For real?
So I left a message with my doc's nurse this morning. She called back to tell me what would be involved with my "6 weeks of conservative treatment". Turns out it's *nothing*...keep taking Aleeve for inflammation & applying damp heat. Then I come back 6 weeks after the initial appointment (which was Aug. 11, so it's been nearly a month already) & they decide what to do from there.
So. Just to review. It hurts. Like a sonofabitch. I can't sit for long periods of time, I can't stand for long periods of time. My leg & lower back are either half-numb or half-screaming in pain. I gave up trying to be comfortable, and am now willing to settle for something between numbness & pain.
I have an appointment on the 21st. That's 2 weeks from now. She told me to come in earlier if it gets worse...I'm trying really hard not to be a baby about this. The thought of this getting worse? I don't even want to go there. This wears me out. The pain & the insurance bullshit.
On a cheerier note, I made the day of 4 people that helped me get my graduation app in on time. Brownies will do that. :). I'm gonna go watch TV & zone out.
