Hi guys,
It's so close to 12 that I just decided to start the weekend thread. This is the first chance I've had to get here for past couple of days. Things have not been going well here, so I'm going to vent.
First, I have tendonitis in my shoulder. Yipee! I got some pain meds at the doctor yesterday and had the best night of sleep I've had in about 2 years. Why didn't I tell the doctor sooner that my shoulder hurt? (I've been going in for regular checks for over a year now.) Your guess is as good as mine. I don't want to seem like I'm a med seeker so I tend to downplay all pain and figure it will go away. The shoulder was waking me up at night and just aching at times during the day. If it's not better in two weeks I have to go for xrays and stuff. He gave me some stuff that says to wean off slowly and be careful of becoming addicted. I thought he was giving me a more powerful anti-inflammatory. I was hesitant about taking it, but I just took one last night before bed and one first thing this AM. It's to be taken up to four times a day. I'm a worrier, so, of course, I worry about becoming addicted!
Second, the doctor says I'm pre-diabetic. Ugh. Stupid A$$ me. He's been saying the same thing for a year, but I didn't catch it. Really, he said things are OK meaning, I'm not diabetic yet. This time he rephrased it and it finally sank in. I'm supposed to be controlling it with my diet, only I haven't made any changes. WAKE UP DOOFUS WOMAN AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!
Third, DS has been sick all week and is now feeling better. Meaning he is bouncing off the walls and driving us all nuts!
Fourth and scariest of all, my DH lost his job today. He's not horribly worried yet, but, of course, I am. He is getting a fair severance package, so if he finds a job quickly we are OK. He can probably go back to his old employer (he'd only been at this job 10 months) but it will be a pay cut. That's hard to do too, but it's better than a big fat 0 coming in. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
I'm sorry for the me, me, me post. I'm just better off saying it here than at home! DH is doing a good job of encouraging me to exercise, so I have to go take my turn on the treadmill! Yes, at after midnight! Thank you ladies (and gents!) for letting me vent here. I appreciate very much all the support that I get here!
