Quester, as someone with a history of awful neighbors, I’m so sorry you have to deal with that.
Thanks, Pix. Right now the drowsiness of the Gabapentin is the best part of it because I can sleep! I woke up a little early today, but I slept through the night before that.
The mornings are the worst part right now because I haven’t medicated in eight hours so the pain is bad. Hopefully TCG will wake up soon and there will be tea. I’m so grateful right now to be married to a man who capable of cooking all the meals and doing laundry etc. I feel bad that he is missing so much work driving ltc back and forth to school and me to appointments, but he hasn’t complained. So many of my meatspace friends and relatives married men who don’t help with much of anything.
I'm sorry, quester. Very unnerving for sure.
TCG is indeed a keeper. I can't imagine what I would have done without a helpful partner DH when raising the boys.
So many people were in aww when he would change her diapers etc when ltc was a baby, and he would get so mad because he’s the dad, of course he’s changing diapers.
Orthopedic appointment went okay. It’s definitely not a shoulder issue. It’s very likely a nerve issue stemming from my neck. So I have to get the mri and then see a different orthopedic and also get another test with pins and electric currents that I can’t get until I’m in pain for at least 4 weeks. He does think that PT will help and I’ll start to get better on my own if I continue with what I’m currently doing.
Not a lot of progress, but another step. Have you improved enough to be able to drive to PT?
No I can’t drive at all or walk with my crutches. My arm won’t currently move that way. Luckily I was able to switch pt to a Saturday. So, it won’t involve more pto for TCG.
Oh I am glad to see you could arrange it on Saturday. I really hope you see improvement quickly.
sj, did they give you/tell you to wear a cervical collar?
sj I'm so gad you found a doctor who would believe you and take your pain seriously.
Work was...something yesterday. Our toys went on sale but what people were buying were activity books. So many of them. Hundreds that we had to process and pack.
I stopped by the HR manager and asked about my Thanksgiving schedule. I told him my schedule and he didn't realize that had happened and adjusted it so I'm working 12:30 to 9 on Wednesday.
Also found out that back in March our store manager was slated to be promoted to a regional manager but that changed because of covid. So I assume that when things settle down more he will be promoted.
The group of managers I've had for most of this year has been the best group of managers I've worked with. The most but certainly the best. And Nick the store manager is one of the top 2 Big Bosses I've had. It makes it easier working weird shifts and long hours.
