I should be mad.

3 Comments

I spent the entire morning talking to insurance agents about my mom’s car. When I finally got home, my mom couldn’t find the title to her old car and insisted my dad had it. He hasn’t paid the bills for over a decade, so I knew finding anything in the mountain of crap he calls a desk would be difficult. But I looked for two hours. And guess who actually had the title in her desk?

I haven’t been sleeping that well because my intolerable back pain has now shifted to a painful but much more tolerable leg pain. I’m hoping it finally goes away after I see the acupuncturist again.

And tomorrow we’ve been told is when the heads start to roll. I’m more worried for the guys in marketing, but it’s hard to know what’s going to happen until it actually happens.

P.S. I found several checks for hundreds of dollars in my dad’s pile that were from 1996.

  1. You need a referral to a neurologist. The pain in your back radiating into your legs is a significant sign of a disc injury. Leave the quacks behind and get to your family physician ASAP.

  2. I say we bury you in your dad’s room. You are a hero for even walking in that room in an attempt to find something!
    It’s probably time for a back brace….:)

  3. Fellow chronic back pain sufferer here — HUGE herniations in L4/5 and L5/S1. But, after many PAINFUL and sleepless years, I’m actually functional now and I credit it to 2 things:
    a) squats and back extensions
    b) and this is this BIG one: a “tempurpedic” bed. My sister and my dad and my friend are the same — and got the same resluts as me. Try it!
    And you don’t have to buy a real tempurpedic either. All you need is a 3-4 inch memory foam pad (e.g. sensus pad) from a place like ebay, sitting on top of a firm polyurethane foam pad from a place like foambymail.com or memoryfoam.com. You can also get a couple of inches of latex or something to sandwich in between the two layers. You should research this, I mean it. It literally changed my life — after many years of eating about a bottle of IBprofin per month, I am now drug free, rested, and I can even run again…
