Common Sense

I’m at work. I mean, where else would I be? I am studiously avoiding family gatherings because I don’t really like going to them. Plus, this year, I’d have a lot of people asking “What did you do to your leg?” and I’ve spent the past 6 months trying to explain to people who see me on a regular basis that I have no freakin’ clue what’s wrong and neither does my doctor.

I went over some chronic pain stuff I found on the Internet last night with my mom and she agrees with me that would explain everything. She even noticed a few things that I hadn’t really been able to tell. She noticed swelling where as I’ve only ever noticed shrinking and atrophy. She also noticed that my toes start to turn purple after a while, as does the whole leg.

I’m going to have to say ’scew it’ this week. I’ve tried going without narcotics for weeks now and I’ve dealt as best I could with the pain. I’ve also tried to do the physical therapy and everything else I’ve been told. All I’ve gotten out of it was more pain, weekly migraines, a straight ticket back to depression-town and the barest bit of improvement in mobility. I wanted to give it more time, but really at this point I feel like I’m suffering more out of spite for my doctor than because I think I can get through it.

I’m going to make an appointment for this week and say screw you to Dr. Dickkhead.

I’m not the only one suffering a medical problem. It appears that Nick Lampson was in the hospital recently receiving an angioplasty. I wish him well.

My New Year’s resolution is a pretty obvious one. I need to get back in the groove and get to bloggin’. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I really miss just doing something day in and day out that gives meaning. Meaning seems to be what is missing from my life right now. I’m bouncing between just existing and having to overcome every obstacle under the sun it seems just to exist. It would be nice move up a peg and get to functioning member of society.

Happy Chrismahannukwanzakah everybody. I’ll try to have something of my act back together by Friday.
