The weather is changing and my head wants to explode. I woke up with a migraine yesterday morning and I still have a touch of it today. Don't know for sure what caused it, but I bet having a 15lb cat sleeping on my head may have played a part. I am also struggling with insomnia(due in part to some meds), but Mrs CB is going to walk me around the Arts Festival for a few hours and that should make me nice and tired. This is my favorite festival each year. We usually find something cool to bring home and the food is omgsogood! Since we are starting diets on Sunday, we will be pigging out today and tomorrow.
Today is the 4th week post-surgery and I think I am doing okay. I am still tired, but I am becoming more active each day. I drove my sexy Chevy the other day and it pains me to know that I need to trade it in for an automatic when I finish paying her off. A stick shift is not the optimal vehicle for a person with my condition, and I need something that sits a little higher.
I continue to have pain, but it is nowhere near what it was prior to the operation. The nerve is still pretty angry and it lets me know it, but I am able to control it with pain meds. I think Mrs. CB gets a kick out of telling me, "Hey, you can't do that!" and I am trying to be good and listen to her.
The one good thing that came out of this was that we have reconnected and are spending more time together. Last night, Mrs. CB enjoyed an early end-of-the-fucking-schoolyear celebration by finishing off a bottle of wine. It was very amusing to see her so animated-I wonder how we'll celebrate in a week when they are really done.
I see the doc on the 15th and depending on what she says, I'll return to work at the end of the month. PT will begin anew and hopefully, we won't have to deal with this again. My biggest concern is returning to work. I won't put up with being treated badly because I am considered partially disabled (by a few co-workers, not the company). The tech director has been very supportive, so I probably shouldn't worry, but man, when you want to define a hostile work environment, all you need to do is look at my department.
Anyway, Happy Weekend everyone!
