i’m finally getting around to blogging about it (hey, i’ve been busy writing my ehow.com articles in case you couldn’t tell!) even though i received the news on monday. i know what is the source of the knife in my back!! and no, for you literal people out there, it’s not a real knife, though after all the things that have been happening, i was beginning to wonder…
after talking to my fabulous physician, dr. meyers, who called me while she was on vacation no less (c’mon what doctor does that?!), i found out that i am the new owner of a herniated lumbar disc that is pressing on a nerve. oh joy! i’m only partially being facetious. i’m reeeealy happy to finally know what’s been causing me to walk like quasimodo. and now i can shout it from my jazzy to the onlookers at walmart. “i’m not a monster–i have a herniated lumbar disc, so back off!”
the doc said the next step is to see a specialist, so i made an appointment. unfortunately, the soonest appointment date i could schedule is two weeks away. at that point, we shall discuss my options–physical therapy, surgery, or whatever else there is. meanwhile back at the ranch (not just a saying–i do live in a ranch), i still can’t return to work, so until then, i’m just going to keep doing what i’ve been doing. except for doing things that end up with me aggravating the disc. the disc has made me her bitch and i’m very careful not to piss her off.
