3 weeks done

Yep, I'm still extremely frustrated and having good days and bad. This past weekend was fun, at least I got to go out of town. Galen got to wakeboard, and I got to sit on the boat and drink beer. Seems like my life is sit, eat and sleep right now, but I'm trying to fit in work, ab work, arm lifting, etc. I've completely stopped taking Vicodin, so that's the good news, and I have no pain, so no Tylenol too. Just in time, since the trace amount of tylenol in vicodin has reason for it to be possibly taken off the market.

I miss walking, more than anything. I just want to get up from the couch and walk to the kitchen. I also want to clean my place so bad, I've never wanted to clean more in my life. It's either that I'm noticing more dust because I'm at home all the time or I'm so bored that I just want to do something (that and I don't like to live like a slob - unlike my teenage years). There are certain people that like to be waited on (I'm sure I've mentioned this before), and I want to do everything myself. I hate not being able to make my own dinner, clean the house, go to the store, etc. I feel like one of the humans in Wall-e who hasn't used their muscles/bones forever and I feel that fat too.

So I've been dealing with work too, am I working from home or am I on short term disability. Today was the most frustrating part of this process as no one on the leaves team and the right contact info for my HR. Then when talking with my HR, she needed the forms I sent the leaves team, so what's the point of the leaves team? I'm not sure. I've just decided to keep myself on a work from home status unless I hear differently. I'm starting to actually do some work too, which is great, because boredom has hit an all time high.

I crutched 2 whole blocks yesterday to get my check from the person replacing me in the Army 10 miler, since I won't be able to race 10 miles by then. I'm still looking for a replacement for my Reach the Beach relay race in September. I have asked a bunch of people, but it seems that I don't know many females who want to run 22 miles over 3 legs of the relay. I was so looking forward to this too. ARGH!!! And the other morning it was beautiful outside, like morning run beautiful.

So enough whining for now, I have another Dr's appointment for this Thursday. I am supposed to be in physical therapy (PT) this week, but they didn't have any openings. At this point I'm ready to burn my crutches and brace, but we'll throw a party to do that when I get to walk again. Yay, walking!!!! In the meantime it's abs, arms, and upper body lifting.
