I can't believe Halloween has come and gone. Today my phone has been ringing like crazy, either for a pre-recorded political agenda or that I've won a vacation. So far, 2 vacations and 3 candidates and one for free diabetic supplies for a small "fee". Ok. I should state these calls were within 45 min. It has been quiet for an hour.
Well, I can't put it off any longer. The MRI results have to be dealt with by the specialists. I was hoping things would heal with care but they've only mellowed a bit. However, mellowed a bit enough that I am going to go back to work in a couple of weeks but this time for a 2 hour shift 3 times a week, if they agree. It's the last hour that was hardest even before the sciatic nerve episode. I look at it, and hope they will, that I'd be working for 3 days of the lunch hour rather than the twice a week. I feel confident I can do the 2 hours much easier.
Hoping to get my husband up to the Veteran's Administration this week so he can apply for his benefits. His knees are shot and his right arm which has had 2 surgeries to repair torn muscles is causing him trouble when working. All the fun things that come with a very physical job is catching up with him. Once benefits kick in we can cut our Hospital insurance in half. We pay $750 a month for hospital only; no office co-pays, no prescriptions, no therapy etc. Now, with work so slow we could sure use the extra savings.
I have been in a depressed state and apologize I haven't kept up with the blogs. It is hard when you can't sit for long, or see the screen well and it was getting me down. It is still as difficult but I am over the mental hurdle for now. Life is brighter and without the kids living here it might still be a little gloomy. Laughter and the sounds of life bustling around you is such a lift.
