So the reason I haven't blogged lately is because they blocked Midsay at my job. It seems mindsay contains innapropriate content. Im very upset because even though I did not blog very frequently I enjoyed keepin up with everyone elses blogs. I don't have a computer at home either so I guess im taking a break from the blog. Sucks.
On a brighter note, my pain is better. I saw a specialist called a Physiatrist and shes great and she diagnosed me with Sacroiliac joint pain and Pelvic muscle dysfunction. So the reason I wasn't getting better before was because we were treating me for the wrong problem (sciatica). Apparently, the problem I have is often confused for sciatica. So now Im on new medicine and back in physical therapy. Wish me luck.
Not much new with me. I spent a fabulous weekend in South Haven Michigan with a group of friends and had a blast. Seriously, I had not had that much fun in a long time. I signed up for a Yoga class which starts tonight. Im pretty nervous because Im new to yoga and I never do things like this by myself. But my Physical therapist thinks that it would be really good for me for relaxation and flexibility. So we'll see how it goes. I need a hobby anyways. Im hungry gotta go
painBLAHH! Thats how I feel. How long does one have to have pain for in order for it to be considered chronic.....cause it feels pretty damn chronic to me. Now the pain has moved into my other leg (it used to be only in the left)....now it takes turns and sometimes I feel it in both legs simultaneously. Occasionally it feels as if my leg muscles are all taking turns spasming....THIS SUCKS!!!! Im not really sure what to do anymore and I spend most of my sleeping time tossing and turning and crying. I am going to give accupuncture another week or so to do something and if not I think Im going to go see a neurologist. I really hope its nothing serious but the pain has progressed for the worse despite physical therapy, accupuncture, and a normal MRI of the hip and lower spine. GRRR!!! I wish I was healthy. I miss health. I was trying to stay positive about all this at first but im a worrier by nature and my mind is getting the best of me...the pain is effecting all aspects of my daily life, I cannot enjoy sleep, I cannot enjoy excercise, I cannot enjoy social activities....and Im becoming depressed. I really dont know what to do.
Other than my pain issue. There is not much going on. The new guy is still around but Im not so sure he is that interested. He doesn't make time for me. He is dealing with some personal issues and so I guess forming a new relationship is not at the top of his list. I guess with my issues that Im dealing with, its not at the top of mine either.....but I like him so I was willing to make the effort. Only time will tell.
I hope it is warm this weekend. It will be something to look forward to
So the last blog I wrote was on Monday, it is now Friday and this is the first time I have had enough energy to do anything. I was at work on Monday night, taking care of one of my favorite patients, and all of a sudden around 130 am I started to feel like absolute crap! I was sweating, with chills, nauseas, and achy...it was bad. So I went on my lunch break and thought after drinking some water I would feel better.....nope....I just got worse. I hung in there until about 4 am when my charge nurse told me I could go home (she had offered before that but I thought I would get better). So I went home and slept for like three days straight and now I feel better. I think it was the flu....sucks cause I went and got the flu shot for nothing. Im like seriously falling apart over here.
Anyhoo, now that I feel better, I am excited about my friend's Wedding tomorrow. I think its supposed to rain a bit in the morning but hopefully it will stop in time for her to get some outdoor pics.
On the boy front...I am still communicating with the new guy. But I havent seen him this week, mostly due to his schedule and my illness. He has some friends coming in this weekend and I have the wedding so it looks like our next date will have to wait til next weekend. But our phone conversations have been going well and I guess at this stage thats all a girl can ask for 
The good news is that I got my MRI results and everything was fine....the bad news is apparently I am having pain for no gosh darn reason. I am going to continue physical therapy for another two weeks and hopefully by then the pain will be completely resolved. So I guess I am happy that I dont have some crazy nerve damage or tumor or something....but It would be nice to have some answer for why I am having this pain. My physical therapist says sometimes MRI's dont catch everything but who knows....we'll see
On a different note, Easter was nice...although I had a slight sore throat and cough so I didnt really eat my fair share at the brunch. But my nephew looked extra cute in his new outfit and it was nice to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Otherwise my weekend was uneventful because I slept through most of it due to my cold. Tonight, I am back at work and taking care of one of my favorite patients so it should be a nice night.
I am still talking to the new guy...but things are moving slow. I like him though....he is really sweet. We'll see what happens.
So...I got my MRI today. I never considered myself to be claustrophobic...but it was really creepy being in that tube for an hour and not being able to move. I got really anxious the last 10 minutes and I almost had a panic attack. But I made it through. I don't get my results for 48 hours....so I just have to hope for the best.
On a lighter note. I went to a bachlorette party on Saturday night and we had a great time. We went to howl at the moon and it was really fun. The bachlorette is a girl that I work with who has become a good friend. Her sister organized the event and we ended up riding to the bar in a "party bus" which is essentialy a large shuttle bus that is converted into a luxury limosine. We had drinks, we had music, and we had dancing. The bar was something else, two live dueling pianos and a backup band singing every song imaginable with the entire bar singing along with them. Lots of fun. My friend was a total trooper, she got up with the band and danced and sang....she was the envy of all the other bachlorettes there.
I guess overall, I had a good weekend (despite the creepy MRI). Friday I had gone out to dinner with my friends and then we went to a bar. I ended up meeting this really cute guy who appeared older but is (once again) younger than me. I cant seem to meet anyone my age or older. Regardless, he is very good looking and very sweet, and so despite our 3 year age difference, we are now talking. But...just my luck....he just got out of a serious 2 year relationship so odds are he probably doesn't want to get into another one. But im trying to think positive about this one and just try to make the best of it.
Okay....time to feed baby Eli....
