Life as usual..

So, let's see.  My husband has his surgery in December, it went well.  No neck pain afterward.  

I was fired from my job in February. Looked for a job for two months, and decided in April that there was no way I could work, any job, due to the neck and back ruptured discs.  Due to being at home, and not moving around as much as I did when I was at work, my body is not unable to stand very long, walk for very far.  I have constant pain in my neck; only on occasion do I have a good day without pain.  The pain from the low back through hips is crazy, intense.  And my hands keep going numb.  Of course, when they did the nerve conduction test in October (which is where I got the tear in the left knee), the dr said I have moderate carpal tunnel in both wrists. And that is probably why my hands keep going numb.  Though I believe it is from my neck, because on days when my neck is killing me that is when my hands go numb the most.  I did have knee surgery to fix the meniscus tear in February before the insurance ran out.  

I am working on getting disability now, so that I can see a dr again to get my neck and back taken care of.  The neurosurgeon I was seeing won't see me since I don't have insurance anymore.  

I've been watching my 4 yr-old niece for my brother.  She can sure be a handful sometimes.  She definitely has her own "attitude", and is use to getting her own way.  It's weird, I think it was much easier when my kids were that age.  To keep up with, to put up with, to make it through the day.  haha  Makes me laugh sometimes when I think about it.   

 

And, I am still trying to get the home business thing to work out.  So check out the website and let me know what you think.  www.gogreensafely.com
