Yeah, take the time you need to make sure you have all your ducks in a row first.

The only time I could schedule my follow up ultrasound before vacation next week was for right around the same time as my therapy appointment. So, I have to cancel that. I had spoken to the therapist about the miscarriage, so hopefully she will understand. Sigh.

Isn't it her job to understand?

Yeah, but you'd be surprised at how not understanding some therapists can be when it comes to messing with their schedule, and this was supposed to be my first appointment. She did sound nice on the phone though.

Too bad the therapist can't be there with you during the ultrasound. Talk about functional therapy....

and thanks for the mention of short term disability. That hadn't even occurred to me but is clearly one of the reasons it exists. 60% of my income is way better than nothing. Ortho surgeon says that sitting for more than a couple hrs at a time will be super painful. Standing better. Lying down even better. We do have sit/stand stations at work which is encouraging...but I also know that pain has a super negative effect on the quality of my ability to sympathetically process nuisance complaints.

And though being stuck at home sucks, it does curtail some spending - at least that was what I found when I was on disability after carpal-tunnel surgery.

Brilliant!

And presumably not as conducive to recovery. Don't be afraid to let yourself heal, Girl!

No kidding. Eesh.

And erin, I did wonder if you could stand, but then I thought "but standing and doing her job for HOURS would be exhausting".

Am irked because I went in to do a training for work, and found out there were a couple others I need to do today that had been put in there--and one is a powerpoint presentation thing that had been recorded, and I can't fast forward, but still have to click "next"--there's no voice narration, but they apparently believe that I read at a GLACIAL pace, because I'll read the like, two lines on the slide, but it won't let me click "next" for another 30 seconds or whatever. Ugh.

uggh, meara. HATE those.

ION, I'll be getting figs in my next CSA box. We've never had figs before (literally). What does one DO with them?

meara, that does sound boring as heck.

There is a therapist at my clinic, but it is too far for me to want to go every week. So, I can't see her on a regular basis.

I am so done with onerous phone calls today. Our matinee was canceled for tomorrow because one of the actors is ill and doesn't feel like he can do two shows a day. So I had to change my tickets, then call and change my dinner reservations, and finally call my family to tell them that I changed our dinner reservations. I also called the oil company to tell them I can't find our contract for next winter and to book a service for my heating system (only 2 months late). And finally called the therapist and left her a message about rescheduling.
