My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Went to the Doctor Believe it or not, I actually made time yesterday morning to go to the doctor to see if my back/nerve injury would cause permanent paralysis in a few weeks. I ended up getting four x-rays of my spine and hip-- which wasn't the most pleasing experience in my life. Fortunately, I'll live. The x-rays showed that my lower two vertabrae have very little padding between them. Doctor assumed that I had some major sports injury in the past. Funny. I wasn't that much of a sporto in high school, so the only thing I can think of that may have caused the deterioration of the padding is driving in my Jeep for the last nine years. Anyway, the lower two vertabrae are pinching the psiatic nerve going into my left leg which is contributing to a muscle spasm in my lower back. The end result is the same: I have MAJOR pain when walking, sitting, driving, standing, and living. Doctor prescribed Motrin, Vicodin, and some type of non-drowsy muscle relaxer that is supposed to be better than Valium. Who wants a muscle relaxer that doesn't cause drowsiness? As soon as I got home, there were twelve people off the streets waiting in line on my porch for free Vicodin handouts. I don't get it. What's the big frenzy with Vicodin? It's a pain killer. Who wants to do a drug for recreation that turns you into a zombie? I have never understood that concept... which is almost parallel to my opinions on alcohol. For recreation, I'd rather do something that does the opposite. If I want to sleep, I can do that without help. Silly crackheads. After taking my first dose of my above drug cocktail tonight, that shit knocked me out for a few hours. What a waste. I don't even think it helped. Funny, the only thing that really has helped ease the pain was a shmear of Icy Hot rubbed liberally into my back and hip. I never understood how that stuff works, but it did loosen up the muscle and offered some temporary pain relief. I hate the smell of the wintergreen locker room smell, but it worked. Packing for Greece It's 3:30 AM and I'm still packing for Greece. I took a three hour hiatus after getting knocked out, and I'm scrambling now to get packed. I'll probably end up forgetting something critical like the digital wallet or the digital camera battery charger. Who cares about clothes... I'm more worried about my ability to take pictures. I have a sickness, I know. Anyway, we're outta here at 5:50 PM. I'll try to post to my blog whenever possible. If my phone ends up working in Greece, I will definitely be posting audio blogs, just because I'm a geek. posted by Dino at 3:55 AM (permanent link) |
