Sometimes…

Sometimes I just want to smack my husband. He gets all ticked off at me because I don’t have a job yet. I have been looking but the job market around here isn’t good at all. Then he goes and tells me I should go on social security disability because of my spinal fusion surgery I had a few years ago. I told him that I am still able to work, I just can’t stand or sit for long periods of time or my back hurts. That is no reason to have myself classified as disabled. Social Security would just turn me down anyway.

I can walk fine. I am allowed to pick up heavy things. The doctor told me, when he released me after the surgery and rehab, not to lift 90 lbs until I’m able to lift 50 lbs. In other words work my way up to heavier and heavier things.

Men!! Can’t live with them.. can’t shoot them! :)

Aches and pains

Ever since I hurt my back in 2001 I’ve had to live with aches and pains every day. Even after 2 surgeries, a discectomy and a spinal fusion, I live with the aches and pains. I refuse to have another surgery as I can deal with the pains I have and don’t want them to be worse. I also have shoulder pain that I have to deal with too. I can’t sit for more than an hour without having to get up and move around. I can’t stand for more than 10 or 15 minutes without my back starting to hurt.

At least I don’t have pain from Plantar Fasciitis. That’s about the only part of my body that doesn’t give me any pain except if I wear heels. So I spend my life in sneakers or my Bear Paw boots (I just love them.. they’re so comfortable!).
