A Step Backwards
I’ve spent yesterday and today home from work. Unfortunately, it’s not because I took some vacation time. It’s not even because I’m sick. My back is acting up again… 
I’m not entirely sure of what happened on the weekend. I know that there was about a day and a half over the weekend that I didn’t have anymore of those wonderful little yellow pills that I’ve been taking. I managed to get to the doctor to get a refill, but since then, I’ve been in a lot of pain.
It usually takes a fair bit for me to phone in sick. I don’t like missing work, even when I am sick. I can only imagine what my supervisor is going to say when I go back (hopefully tomorrow). I’m not going to be impressed if they put me on light-duties to “help me out”..
I see the neurosurgeon on the 15th.. it’s been a long 7 months waiting just for the consult with them. Hopefully they have a real solution for my disc. Everything up to now hasn’t worked.
That aside, we’re doing alright.. We are trying to look forward to the future, even though it’s uncertain about what’s going actually happen in the next 3-6 months.. I’ll know more in a couple weeks..
