I'm Back! Sort Of.....
Well, I'm sorta back. Still trying to recover from the leg problems. But I'm getting somewhat better now.
It's kinda funny really. I hate needles, scalpels and anything else that might hurt. I mean really, really hate them. I've passed out getting blood drawn - that's how much I hate them.
And work.... how I just absolutely detest it now. Monday, I had a choice between letting a doctor poke my leg full of holes as he made about 15 Novocain injections so that he could take a scalpel and cut open my leg OR I could go back to work. It's pretty sad when surgery with no insurance appears to be a better choice than trying just antibiotics (One of the other reasons I haven't been posting much is that I've been using my limited computer time to look for other employment).
So I've had my leg cut open, I have a 6"x7" infection (but it's nearly a perfect rectangular shape, very odd I must say), I have a $100 worth of Cipro that doesn't work, another $40 antibiotic that appears to have at least slowed the spread, and a wound on the top of my shinbone that hasn't stopped bleeding since it started last Saturday. On top of that, I have a job that I hate, where I don't get paid enough, have no benefits, run virtually everything and am being turned into someone with a high degree of animosity towards obnoxious, pretentious homosexuals (but I'm still OK with normal ones - so long as they don't try to convert me).
But other than that it's been a great week - thanks for asking!
I'll be trying to get back into blogging more over the next few days as I can finally sit for more than 10 minutes without my leg starting to burn.
