Hey all,
If you haven't ascertained from the title of this thread, I won't be coming next week.. I must have really screwed someone over in a previous life cuz karma's being a REAL BITCH! As most of you know, I have had problems in my sciatic area periodically. I posted here how the pain knocked me down for a good stretch of time. Fast forward to now and here we go again. It actually hit me the day after Memorial Day and I used up most of my vacation time going to f-ing doctors and getting x-rayed, being told "we can't find anything wrong...here's some vicodin and hydrocodone...go get high and forget about it and get some physical therapy"...well they didn't say that last part about getting high, but I was pretty drugged up; it took 2000mg of naproxen to get rid of it this time not to mention the hydrocodone and muscle relaxers..blah blah blah.
We can't figure out what is going on here. It always starts right in my sciatica, travels across my left buttcheek, around to my groin area and down my leg. When it hits, I can't stand up, or walk without crying like a baby. The tricky thing is it comes and goes so one minute I'm ok and then after I've sat down for a time or slept, BOOM! Back with a vengeance. Most of the Doctors and ER people I was seeing kept thinking it was my back. I finally went to a hip specialist today. Though the xrays showed a crack in my pelvis on the right side, (14 years ago I was plowed by a pickup truck when I was a Bike Messenger and it fractured my pelvis), and my left hip area is actully at an "unnatural " angle, there was nothing else he could find wrong. This doctor kept insisting that this was a back issue and I had to insist that the pain is in the sciatica. He finally ordered an MRI and I go Monday evening which means I have to use my last vacation day I was holding on to in the hope that I could make it to Keyport Saturday. Alas, not gonna happen. The reason I used up my vacation time is that I have not Accrued enough time for sick leave...(A@#HOLES).
Yeah I'm a bit peeved. I was so there! I can't look at the flyer without getting angry. Here's a nice kicker: This could have been taken care of when I worked for Kraft Pizza Company but they had the crappiest insurance on the planet! Everytime and MRI was ordered, insurance would deny it and feed me some cock and bull story that I wasn't in enough pain.Finally I have a half decent PPO (Or so it seems ) through Blue Cross Blue Shield and so far the procedure is scheduled for Monday. That's way further thatn I got with the Kraft(I'm sorry Nestle..they were bought out last year). So here's hoping I can finally get to the freking bottom of this nonsense. I'm sorry for my vugarity, sorry for venting and EXTREMELY sorry that I won't be attending. Denise you worked hard on the flyer and I was so looking forward to meeting you, Biff, Kerry, Toolbox, Zach, Donnie and Tim. I'm real sorry folks. ASs the Blackhawks,Bulls, Bears, and Cubs say: Maybe next year
The hardest part of all this? Cancelling all of my reservations and telling you all that it ain't happening this year..................
