Seven Months Later
I am posting. One might wonder what in the world happened to me. Well… I had this back injury see. I got it while I was working at That Search Engine as a Contractor. For 14 months we’ve been trying to alleviate a ruptured disk with non surgical methods. It finally came down to having a micro discectomy on May 11th. I’m mostly recovered, now I’m trying to regain my strength. I still have discomfort and my right leg just doesn’t feel right. As in the nerves are damaged from being blocked by the disk for so long. I no longer need narcotics to control the pain. But they removed about 20-30 percent of the lowest disk and had to manipulate the major nerve bundle to remove the pieces that had broken off and lodged themselves there. Oh… and a bone spur.
The suck thing is… I had gotten a new job at Digital Agent after The Search Engine terminated my contract. I was pretty happy there, but while I was out recovering from a major surgery they apparently found that they didn’t really need a big support department. I got laid off the second week back. I wasn’t even really upset for more than a day or so. So now… I’m back looking for a job. Goody.
Simon just started first grade and Felicity should be in pre-k. My attempt to get her into the state funded pre-k program failed miserably. I could either take her to a school over 20 miles away in a bad neighborhood, or I could have had her in a day care the entire time with my name on the list waiting for a spot. Irritating.
For the social part of my life, my roommate is running a D&D game and my husband a fantasy (ancient orient) type champions game. There’s been other interesting developements with the people in my social circle, some good, some bad. Mostly… I try not to put that sort of thing out there.
