So I've been to Halifax and back... twice. The first time was for Brother's operation, which was only minor and went well. The second trip up (a week later) was for his followup appointment. We cant figure out why the doctor made us drive for five hours to attend a ten minute appointment, when there was probably a perfectly capable doctor on the island who could have checked his eye out to make sure it was going fine. But you know doctors. We have to go back up in eight weeks for another followup too. Awesome!
My accident happened on May 26th (four weeks ago, yesterday), on June 10th, (two weeks ago, today) I was laying down watching television and when I got up I had pain in my back. That pain hasnt gone away. Its not all over my back, it is across my left side, below my left shoulderblade. Pretty much around, or just below, where my bra crosses my back. It doesnt hurt all the time, mostly when I have to stand, or sit up without something to lean on. I was to see my doctor yesterday and he suggested to get an ObusForme (a back rest) so that I always have something supporting my back when Im sitting down. I got one before I went home yesterday and I love it already. My back isnt near as sore as it has been the past two weeks. The doctor didnt give me any pain-killers, which Im glad about. I dont want to have to be doped up all the time just to be able to function.
Im back to work as of last Wednesday. We got a contract in for the next six weeks, after that we dont know. Its not a new contract, it was one of the ones that just left that obviously couldnt handle things without us *smirk*. Im in training now until next Wednesday and then back on the phones. Hopefully I'll get the schedule that I had before, but I dont think I'll still get to sit with all the people I was sitting with before. I'll miss them.
Im going to get ready to go to the drive-in. Troy and Starsky & Hutch are playing, it should be a good night.
