Prscription Hell...
So this has been the week from hell for me @ home. Let's start with the good stuff, though. Christmas was great. Jacob had a great time opening presents and got to see his Aunt Deniece for the first time in a year. He wasn't shy with her at all. Went right to her and happily played, cuddled etc. She seemed to be really comfortable with him as well. Who would have thought she would ever love any kid like that...LOL It was great to see her and catch up for a little while. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to see Kasha too, but it was X-mas Day and she was with her family. Boo. Hopefully I'll get to see her and she'll get to see Jacob soon, though. We went to TJ's mom's for X-Mas dinner and it was a really nice evening. Jacob discovered that he likes to climb stairs and did that all evening. TJ and I had to chase him and help him back down every time. Talk about a great workout...LOL
So now we're home and I realize that my doctor's office is full of morons...LOL I called last week b/c I had about a week of pain killers left. My back is a lot better, but I'm not to the point where I can take care of Jacob full time without some help from them. It's still MUCH better than it was a year ago, though. I've given up on PT for now. It wasn't helping enough to warrant finding a way to deal with Jacob for two hours three days a week on top of seeing my head therapist once a week as well. It's just too much. So, I'm going about my merry little way thinking that we're going to go and fill my script when we get back from Detroit. When we get back, though, no script. It had been a week since I'd called at this point and no call back to say there was a problem. ARGH!! So I call the doctor's office and leave a message about it and ask them to have Dr. M call me back. TJ and I were ready to drive to Kalamazoo to pick up the script ourselves since I was completely out at this point. Not a good thing when you're in pain and have been taking these narcotic drugs for over a year. NOT a good thing at all. So I finally get a phone call back, not from the doctor but from the receptionist letting me know that they had JUST mailed the prescription to me. ARGH!!! With the holiday coming, that means that odds are that I won't get it until Tuesday. Withdrawl officially sucks ass!!! Even worse, though, is having this pain in my back. I haven't had to deal with pain like this for months now. It's so hard to regress. I know it will get better, but right now it doesn't feel that way. Jacob is with his grandfather in Detroit right now. TJ met dad in Jackson and he took Jake until we come down on Saturday for New Years Eve. I miss my little boy!!!
Okay, I've been really lax about sending pictures to friends and family lately, so I thought I'd put some behind a cut in here...
Here is my favorite of his one year portraits. I really wanted him to ride the rocking horse, but his feet didn't reach the floor so they wouldn't let him.
This is the "official" one year old photo.
Here is Jake and his Daddy. I thoght they needed an all boys photo.
Okay, I apparently can't figure out how to post pics without just a link showing up. Any help would be appreciated. What am I doing wrong?
