Father’s Day

Happy Father’s day! Yes, this is the day set aside once a year to celebrate fatherhood. I have to remember to give my daddy a call today, I have the best daddy in the world. I’m sure he’s sleeping in right now and will spend the rest of the day on the golf course. Of course, he does that a lot of the summer any how, I guess it being father’s day, that gives him an excuse to NOT get yelled at by mom for spending the day golfing. We all have to have our scape goats.I went to the Dr. on Friday. The back situation is much worse than I had originally anticipated. From the sounds of it, we might be headed in for surgery. He had x-rays done, and from the films we saw that there is zero space between L5 and S1. He seems to think that the disk is destroyed, and that the damage is putting pressure on my spinal cord. Now, you can’t see disk matter on an x-ray, but the fact is, the two vertebra are resting on top of one another, causing degeneration of the bone matter for both of them. I will be going in for an MRI soon to get a better look at the damage and a better idea of a course of action.So, for now, I walk around like a crooked old woman, taking some ok pain pills. Got a written note from doc that I can’t lift anything at work, or at home. He’s afraid I’ll do even more damage by putting pressure on that spot before we even get to the MRI. My boss is going to love that. “Excuse me, I know that my entire job revolves around stocking, but here’s a note from my doc stating that I can’t be doing any of that right now...” It’s definitely not going to go over real well. Well, I guess I’ve never been one to NOT cause a stir. Why start now.I guess I have to look at this as my “get out of jail free” card. This is my excuse to be utterly lazy at work without having to take time off to do it. HA HA HA. This is going to give me the excuse to stand around and give orders rather that bust my ass for a few weeks. Or however long.Just one more reason why I need to get that office position. God works in mysterious ways. I just wish some weren’t so painful.
