I’m on my bed with my laptop. If only I could work this way!

This week my doctor said it was time to move on to cortisone shots for my lower back pain. I am nervous about that, but I know I have experienced worse pain… and if this is supposed to have a high rate of success, I know I want to try it. I am willing to try just about anything at this point. I am so sick of feeling like a cripple who can’t sit in a chair for longer than an hour without horrible pain. I just need the disc to HEAL. To be normal again. I want to have a day without pain again. It’s going to happen; I WILL leave this experience behind me and in the past soon.

Wedding plans are gearing up, less than 8 weeks now. Wow! I’m taking my dress home Thursday, and I found a diamond for my repurposed engagement ring, too, which will be set this week. It seems like every week we get another step done. It’s coming together. I met with Rebecca last night and I am really excited about the flowers she is doing. They are going to be stunning.

I got really frustrated tonight with the TV and went to the bedroom to listen to the radio and surf on my laptop. Sometimes I get in these moods where I want to give up television almost entirely. I want to make an experiment of it, I would just have to get Brian to agree to do it with me. There is so much more I could be doing, especially as I still have one more week of disability. I think by the end of next week I will be anxious to go back to work, even if my spine isn’t ready yet, at least I will have my cortisone appt scheduled, I hope.
