Hehehe, told I might wait till my 37th birthday to put up my 37th entry LMAO.
So yea, today I turned 37. I feel old but in a good mood. My friends have made my day nifty. Now if only the flipping rainy days would stop so my pain level will drop! I hurt like a bitch lol (arthritic spine and knees, yea, best bad weather tellers ever, lemme tell ya! Blah lol)
Not much new with trying to get the surgery process moving along. I have a sleep apnea doctor visit thursday. I've actually been using the machine (cpap) the last week or so since I got the nose mask instead of the full facial. I don't wake up with major panic attacks anymore while using it. I still am only sleeping a few hours at a time but doing it several times a day/night and I actually don't feel like I'm full zombie when I wake up. I think its helping some. It seems I've finally stopped ripping that mask off in my sleep as well (the first few nights I woke up with it beside me, so it didnt fully panic attack me, which is good lol).
September 6 I see the new doctor, lady at work told me yesterday that she is good (her friends use same doc). I went the 9th but because of insurance card issue (old doc name on card thus the rejection even though new plan on insurance says doesn't need name), they said I had to get new card, even though they talked to the insurance company while I was there. Frustrating but is ok, just means the soonest now that surgery can happen is February.
Work wants me to get my doctor to put me on a 6 month temporary disability while I wait for this 6 month weight loss/watch by doctor to get done again. I'll get about half my pay and work will pay for my health insurance. I'm not thrilled about it but this last little over a week vacation I went on (didn't go anywhere, just took the time off work) was soooo relaxing! The tension in my neck and back damned near went away. I enjoyed being able to stay up to talk with my friends again online lol.
So its gonna be an interesting winter. If things go the way work wants and I want, I'll go on this 6 month disability and still be able to keep up with all doc stuffs. Then after the 6 months is up, as long as I go back at least 2 weeks, I can then go on another medical leave/temporary disabilty for the surgery process and get the same partial pay and medical insurance pay taken care of because technically it will be 2 different issues. I won't need the full 6 months the 2nd time around as once I've healed from the actual surgery, I can go back to light duty then regular duty and that would be best because it would help excel some of the weight loss. More then likely means I'll have Sept through maybe March or April off work lol. Now that would be nice! NO WORK STRESS!
Work stress I'm discovering since I did this vacation is a huge part of my down moods!!!! I think working with the glue and paint chemical smells affect me because I get worked up easier and more often. Outside of work, its not nearly as bad, in fact I'm more fun lol.
*hugs to all my friends that have sent the little messages and happy birthday inliner thingies! Way way way better then any party or celebration thing :) (I'mma gonna celebrate this weekend with a bottle of sangria or 2 and some blackberry wine lmao. You've been warned to those that talk to me via the messengers ROTFLMAO WHHOOHOOO PARTY KATT TIME LOL)
OH yea, my RP group is starting to liven up! My soul sis Bear and I worked on finishing it and we've been writting and I'm glad she's back even though I still have issues with the fight we had last year but I swallowed my stubbornness some and congratulated her on her anniversary and things got better from there. This is a good thing because RP writting is so much fun for me and she is the best to bounce off me writting. It helps me relax and I noticed last night and tonight I didn't want to snack!!
More to be written later.
