nad busting
Ever have one of those days/weeks/lives where you just want to beat the living crap out of all other human beings/inanimate objects from utter frustration and rage?
Yeah.
That would be me today and possibly all days of late.
So was it the doctor who prescribed me the medication that nearly killed me a month ago asking how I was doing on that medication this morning that drove me over the edge? No. Was it him being an utter moron and asking me if I'd like to try some new medication after the last one nearly killed me and gave me a heart condition? No. Was it the fact I'm having problems with the government and totally stressed out over money and my son going to college? No. Was it trying to get my other son ready for high school? No. Was it administrative problems with the music studio today and them making me once again look like I am a complete fuckup to my students? No. Was it the worry of having spinal surgery tomorrow morning? No. Well, all this stuff combined may have helped, but the thing that was the final straw that made me completely lose it???
Harvey's didn't put ketchup in the bag with my fries.
Yeah.
I asked them twice in my defence!
:P
and argh.

school daze
The good news this week is that my son Alex was accepted into the college we had hoped for!YAY,and he's very excited!! Very last minute, however, so we are now scrambling to get everything in order for him to start school in the next three weeks. We have one week to basically pay for everything, and with me being on disability and him only working approximately 3 hours a week, not as easy task! I'm very stressed out and just hope everything will work out for him!
Painwise, things are getting worse all the time, and I'm looking forward to the surgery on my spine Aug 29th, which will also be the weekend Alex will have to move to Oakville! More stress. But hopefully it will all work out, and I'll get it all organized before my surgery date.
Okay, can't sit here long to type. It's agony, truth be told.
Talk soon,

Sad
I've been really sad the last couple days and today I had tears come on a few times. I'm just so saddened by some of the people I feel should know me and be there for me... and are not. It hurts my heart. I'm also sad because my kids are disappointed and I feel responsible for it, like I've failed them somehow as their provider/parent.
I just feel really old and helpless.

Pain and stuff like that there
I haven't blogged much because when I'm on the computer I'm only on for a couple minutes, back and forth etc because the pain in my back/neck/shoulders/arms is so intense I can't stay in one position for longer than that.
I had another MRI last week and it showed I have cervical spinal stenosis, a herniated disc in my neck, osteophytes/bone spurs in my neck. I apparently will need spinal surgery. Nothing really fazes me anymore, I just hope that this is a conclusive diagnosis and will make this fucking pain stop. And why the HELL this wasn't diagnosed ten months ago and five MRI's ago is beyond me.
There is more I'd like to blog about, but it hurts too much.
One little thing:
Mice in my house are not thrilling me, the dead one beside my bed this morning really grossed me out and was a nice note to start the day on.
I really hope things look up soon.

Matt Good, cars, bills and stuff
Last Monday I had cortisone shots in both my shoulders....the following two days were kind of hellish...cortisone plays havoc with my diabetes (makes my sugar skyrocket) and it's very painful for a couple days after I have them. But now the pain has receded a LOT yayayayayay!!! Last time the pain was gone for ten days, this time I hope longer!! Any relief is appreciated!!
Friday I went to see Matt Good again, this time with a full band. I met my Matt Good friends Falina and John beforehand, and it turned out they were sitting right behind me at the concert, we couldn't have planned it better!! Matt was in fine form. It was an awesome night!
I haven't had a car in two weeks. I thought the alternator was gone, but it turns out it was just the battery. Thank god, because it turns out my brakes were waaaaaaaaaay worse than I originally thought, and they're costing me 1200 bucks, being fixed as we speak. The paying of said bill will take many months, but it's been horrible without the car, so you do what you have to do!!
