The Wedding & Therapy day 3

So therapy is going better.  Last visit I had a new student. Sabrina.  She made me do all kinds of crazy things. I was even jumping on  a mini trampoline.  Hello…. I don’t think I’m supposed to be doing this stuff.  All is well.  I couldn’t move the next morning, but it’s getting better.  I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of the workmans comp directive of “No more than 6 visits”  THEIR DOCTOR prescribed 12.  I’m not complaining I don’t really want to drive that far with the gas prices as they are.  It’s not like they sent me somewhere close.  ahh well.  Oh yeah  I forgot to mention I think I have Sabrina now cuz I wore a turtle neck to therapy last week.  HAHAHA  gotta cover up the girls.

I went to a wedding a few days ago and of course I the future planner bought a dress months ago that my new weightloss program would have me looking fab in.  Insert broken foot and sitting on my arse most days.   OOPS.  not to mention shoe crisis.  I wore the dress.  And some high wedge winter boots that went just below my knees.  The grooms mother (my friend)  says to me  ohh you didn’t have to come, well yah I did and woman look at my feet I’m wear gosh darn winter boots for christsakes.  hehe.  Small simple wedding I didn’t even stay for cake.  My feet hurt and my buldges were showing.

My Therapist doesn’t listen

Why is it some people are just incapeable of listening?  I had my first therapy appointment with John  however from now on I’m going to call him Peter (you’ll see)   He is  a 40ish male, average.  Total suite kinda guy.  Doesn’t understand *working class* people.  That’s ok.  He starts to massage my ankle.  Does this hurt, over and over and over again.  No dumb ass my foot hurts (like and inch below the toes)  I explain it to him.  He doesn’t get it.  But your paper work says ankle.  Well I couldn’t care less what the paperwork says  It’s my foot and I know what hurts.   grrrrr. 

After awhile he came up with some exercises.  Hey I got a silver resistance band, so I could  practice at home.  It works fabuouls on you arms too (hehehe)  Also for snapping hubby. (evil laugh)  I choose not to explain the welt on my arse right now LOL we had quite a fight.   

 So back to Peter,   the entire time I couldn’t figure out why he kept looking at me and just not LISTENING.  As we leave the office, hubby says    he thinks its because when I dropped a dollup on vanilla yogurt on my chest this morning it kinda got into the ribbing of my shirt I forgot about it.  It was just a cute little hoodie shirt and I was comfortable.  Well it was a low cut shirt, I take that back, it was a low cut shirt when I bend over doing foot exercises …………………. PERV.   Hence his new name Peter.  They really arn’t much to look at.  I’m no Pam Anderson/Dolly Parton by far.   

 Now I’m going to do some arm exercises so I can give him a good punching by the end of my sessions.

 

Physical Therapy Day 1 Yeah…

I’ve been away… I’m a bad blogger.   This week has just sailed by.  I am back to work at my real job. FINALLY.  witchy boss was grateful, she is swamped and really needed me back. Besides I was sick of shredding paper. My mind was starting to go numb. 

 Doc said get that darn boot off your foot.  You should have had that off already.  hmmm. I guess I was just supposed to “know” that, no instructions.  The day I saw him I couldn’t care what he said, I was in so much pain.  BUT I took my hubby so he could tell me all about it later.  He just looked at me in disbelief  when the doc said it should have been off.  Well the new restrictions include 

• Limited standing
• limited seating
• no climbing
• no stairs
• flat shoes
• walking no more than  30 Feet at a time,  what  30 feet  you’ve got to be kidding.  He said 30 minutes but wrote 30 feet.  I called him and asked for clarification and his assistant said  30 feet is all you can do.  

I mentioned he put me back to work 5 weeks ago,  right.  I can’t even get to the building  from my car.  

grumble grumble grumble.  I’m a big girl I can do what I want those are just suggestions ……. 

Boot came off  and yeah I agree 30 feet is all I can do  I HURTS LIKE HE**   I am so ready to be well again.

I start physical therapy this afternoon, let the fun begin.  

It’s been a good Saturday

I am just days away from getting my cast off my foot.  It’s really a boot cast but none the less it comes off. Happy dance time.  Although I doubt it if I’ll be dancing anytime soon.  I had a great shopping day yesterday.  Racked up mucho savings at rite-aid and walgreens.  I am totally obsessed with rebates now.  I need to get all the free stuff I can.  I thought the first thing he needs was some anti-monkey butt.  It’s powder but I loved the name.  $4.99 – 4.99 rebate = FREE.  Son goes off to college in August. No time like the present to get stockpilling some items.  I just searched for a *list* of stuff he might need.  Yikes.  I really left alot off the original list.  I just don’t know all this stuff.  I didn’t live in the dorms.  We lived very close to the college so I just don’t know all this stuff.   I also got in on the Aveeno wrinkle campaign this week,  I wonder if they are trying to tell me something.  hmmmm.   Free samples, whatever, I’ll attempt to erase the wrinkles. 

Is this my life

  I’m working a different job everyday with different bosses. The game changes everyday,  Monday off.

tuesday shredding papers,  Wednesday phones,  Thursday and Friday  scrubbing ratchets, (we haven’t discussed this job.  I’d rather not talk about this job, I had more grease on me than an average auto mechanic! I actually threw away my clothes when I got home.  I had to put my hands in this unknown solution (no one could answer me) then they gave me gloves.  Guess what.  It melted them.  total disinegration.  I feel so great.  I told them if my hands fell off I’d be calling in sick on Friday.) Monday I’m back to shredding and Tuesday I get to go back to my promotions job *maybe*  fingers crossed xx  I want to get off this cycle of nonsense.   My foot is still killing me and I’ve decided to dump the meds.  I’m med free for 3 days right now and although my foot really hurts, the fog has lifted in my head.   My boot is causing indentions in my leg which is starting to bruise.  Yeah I should take it off more often,  but I can’t.  I’m a mom of 4 with schedules and I work full time.  No rest for the wicked.   Hoping my weekend is fantastic.  I am really beginning to hate the week.

Spending Cash *Aka* Workmans Comp

Yeah my paperwork came today.  For the delightful 9 days I got off for falling off a ladder at work. (and breaking my foot for the good of the store) 

 I’m being rewarded with $21.43.  Yes folks the decimal point is in the right place. 

 Of course I only received the paper work.  I’m going to have to wait for the check.  (DUH, I’m sure that amount needs to be approved! HEHE)  The nice lady at workmans comp told me I should feel free to use sick days, personal paid holidays and or vacation pay to make up the difference.  Could you check my file again and see where I work.  We are not offered any of those options…… & That’s my  good news for monday. 

The bad news is my car is broke.  Probably even broker than me if that’s possible.   I’m inching it to the shop this morning.  I’ve got to go out and say some nice things, give her a nice a rub and maybe we will get there before sundown.  Maybe I spend my workmans comp money in the vending machine   ahhh a bright side

Fat Friday

I’m getting my exercise twisting.  I put the folders on one side and twist to the shredder.  Man did my sides hurt this morning    I’m stuck at 192 I’m sorta ok with it.  The meds are making me foggy and sleepy.  I have weird hunger pains and such so it is what it is. 

1.  Today I ate whole grain english muffin with sugar free jam & coco via drink (yuck)
2. lunch was A BIG MAC and FRIES  ( i know i know….) Life vitamin water I’ve been drinking all day
3. Shirtake noodlles with spagetti sauce  I threw in the trash (yuck)
4. made real spagetti (LOL)  and garlic bread. 
5. 2 bags of mini m&m’s

Did I mention friday is my weigh in day.   well crap.

Ok now it’s friday and ……………………..

Well I ballooned back to 194 for weigh in today.  Not suprised.  2 words  Big Mac and Spaghetti in the same day.  However 2 meals didn’t get me to this point so I really cannot blame yesterday.  Not to mention basically no cardio exercising for me.  Next week I’m hoping to go to the gym and try to swim.  I’d like the weightlessness feel.  However the slippery walk to it is the scary part.  My workmans comp nurse called me and said I should get into the doctor for a new evaluation as *work* doesn’t like the resistrictions especially if they are based on something that’s not true.   I do not have an ankle sprain as he wrote up.  Its just how he’s going to treat it.  He can’t really do much about bone peices floating around in my muscle tissue.  I am supposed to go back on the 29th but I dont know if I should appease work and make it easier for them, by getting an earlier appointment.  After all they’ve been so nice to me  (insert evil laugh)   

Yucky food for the day protein bar called MetRX or something like that.  Good god I need some real food.  I came  home from work and ate turtle chex mix.  Now that was a yummy dinner  

 

Stupid Jobs

Ever wonder while your out and about how on earth someone got that job?  I do.  My choices were quite limited as I remember back in high school.   Not once  do I remember on the form would you like to be a paper shredder?  Yes that’s my top choice in life.   Well that’s great since That’s what I’m going to do for the next 2 weeks.  Shred paper.  that’s it.  5 hours a day for 8 days.   Oh Joy.  I’m actually 10 hours of completetion.  Today our district manager came for a visit.  I don’t know who he is.  However he’s standing at the counter and I ask if  I can help him, he asks if the store manager is in today?  I respond.  I’ve got no idea.  I’ll ask.  Well for a front counter person this is something you should know.  I’m not a front counter person,  I’m a work place accident   As he notices my boot he nervously smiles and goes on with this business.  HEHE.  I’m the kind of person who if you ask me a question I will answer you.  You may not like the answer but It will be honest.  I’m not a counter person in Human Resources,   actually my new title is shredder.  I sit at a desk all day shredding old employee files.  My shredder takes 11 pages at a time with no staples or paper clips.  (sigh)   It burns up, overheats …. oh about every 15 minutes.  We are very high tech here.  It’s been fun reading some of these old files.  We hired some real winners in the past.  Between drunkeness, absenteeism, racism and theft it’s amazing we get any work done here.   My first day I did workmans comp files.  Do you think they were sending me a message?? 

What kind of stupid jobs have you done?
