Fantasies...not coming true!

While I would love to get out and try to re-enact the lyrics to this week's sexy song of the week, that won't be happening anytime soon. My knee is still giving me a hard time, making bending, squatting, and stairs difficult tasks. Hell, some days just walking is painful. But I grin and bear it for now. The worst part??? I can't wear all my cute little heels!!!! I'm stuck wearing boring and comfortable (read "ugly") flats. Sigh...

So I know you all have been anxiously sitting on the edge of your computer desk chairs to hear what the diagnosis is! I went for an MRI this past Saturday (yeah, gotta love the fact that they have Saturday appointments) and for my follow up today. Drum roll, please.......











SURGERY!!!!! Yay...not! I have a torn meniscus and some kind of cyst. So, I will be spending my summer on pain pills and crutches. One of those I don't really care for.

If it isn't one thing...

I'm going to be honest...I really just haven't been in the mood to write. My brain is frazzled from work, and the little free time I do have I've been spending with my little man...my dog. We've been going to the dog park when there is nice weather. The little guy just won't loosen up and have a little fun! I think he is under the impression that his job is to protect me. If dogs come running my way, he is there to defend me, and he refuses to stray more than 10-12 feet away from me even though he is off his leash. He really is a sweet little cuddlebug though. Thank goodness for that, because he is giving me the only cuddling I am getting!

Ex-coworker has reappeared via text messages. I hadn't heard from him since just after New Year's. The only thing I can figure is he is alone again...musta had some chick hanging around for a while. Again, I told him I am not interested in the casual on again off again thing. To which he responded, "You will find someone. You are a good woman."

Oh, and remember that knee pain that I thought was tendinitis? Apparently, it isn't. The pain never fully went away, and my left knee still KILLS me on stairs. I finally broke down and saw a doctor. The x-rays showed no problems with the bones. The doctor has ordered MRI's for later this week. He thinks it could be a torn meniscus (cartilage)...cross your fingers that it isn't! The move into the new apartment cost me my left knee! And you know who I'm blaming...hehe.

Neurologist News

I had my appointment with the neurologist today. He seems to think that my headaches are stress and anxiety related, so he prescribed an antidepressant in order for me to relax and to relieve anxiety. He also prescribed pain meds for me to take at the onset of the headaches. That's all I have on that subject! Hmmm....

It's not a tumor!

That's all. My headaches are not a result of a brain tumor. I got the news on Tuesday, and I just know that you all have been sitting anxiously on the edge of your seats since then! Sorry to keep you waiting. So the next stop? The neurologist on Monday. Let's see what he has to say. *Sigh*

Okay okay...the next blog will be an actual dating blog!

Headaches

I don't usually write about anything too personal on here...well unless you count my (non)dating life!

But I just want to apologize to those for whom I usually leave comments. I've had a difficult time keeping up with blogs lately, because I have been suffering headaches...headaches that make me cry. I finally broke down and went to my doctor. He scheduled an MRI for me tomorrow, and I have the chance to become a victim of a sleep study in the next couple weeks. Yay.

Well anyway, that's why all my favorite bloggers aren't hearing from me as much as usual. It hurts to read and think sometimes.

Let's just hope it's not a tumor! (said in my best Arnold voice!) Sorry, I have to joke in order to restrain the fear. My doctor has me scared to freakin' death.
