The Vent Thread

[pan_dbgt01]

Winter suck this year. I guess for almost everyone in Cananda in the US. Propane is too expensive, it's cold and I'm so SICK of snow.

Work is slow, being cut hours.

I guess it means I need to go to the gym more. LOL

Winter suck this year.

I couldn't agree with this more. Worst winter ever. Too cold, too much snow, just awful. I've had a persistent cold for two months that I can't shake because I can't warm up long enough to get better. Last month, me and Kitsuner even ended up in a Red Cross disaster relief center after an impromptu road trip went awry. We went off an icy road into a snow bank and had no way to get back to Chicago. Roads were so bad, they'd set up the relief center for some 300+ motorists that'd had the same thing happen to them. >__< I

I vote that we all move somewhere warmer and make an AMV island community!

I miss living in California, problem is, though, it's too expensive...

I apparently really need to see a doctor. One thing I've been procrastinating on since I moved back to Detroit is finding an orthopedic surgeon to check out my right knee. First I just didn't have insurance to afford it, but now I've just been lazy and most of the ones I know of around here are not spoken very highly of. I for the most part can deal with the lower mobility I have with my right knee and for the most part the pain is manageable and I keep a cane in my car and a few at home just in case, but recently it feels like it's deteriorating. I'm not sure if it's just the lack of ergonomic seating at home and work, the amount of snow I have to tredge through every day wearing me out, my weight, my age, or a combination of those items (and I have actually been working on the weight thing. I've dropped nearly 50 lbs since I moved into my new apartment in August.)

The past few days have been almost unbearable as far as the pain goes. I joined a bowling league at work we just started up and we bowl every other wed. This week at the alley I was bowling like normal and then all of a sudden I felt my right knee do one of it's 'give out' things in the middle of my throw. (the give out thing is where my knee will just stop carrying my weight, buckle, and I nearly fall but end up catching myself and it works again) It usually hurts a bit when this happens, but this time the pain was almost as bad as it was when I tore my ACL back some 18 years ago. I could barely put weight on in for the rest of the night. I still finished my game, just limped up to the line and did a standing throw (and because my arm had to work extra it hurts from the extra workout) which worked but I was in quite a lot of pain. I had been prescribed by my old doctor to take 600mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day as needed for pain way back when, and I usually haven't needed to use it, but now I'm having a hard time maintaining the pain with 800mg.... I must have really tweaked it bowling, which is usually pretty stress full on my right leg since that's the leg I end my approach on being a lefty, but usually it's just a little sore after...

Either way, it's 2 days later and the pain isn't going away. In some ways it's getting worse. Trying to sit down at BW3's for lunch was not fun.... I always knew I would need to eventually go in for knee reconstruction surgery after 20~30 years after my surgery, the doctor had said that. I always expected I could get another 5~10 years out of this knee but that may not be the case, especially if I want to keep being active and trying to work out and loose weight. I really wanna prove my Mom wrong and not have to spend the rest of my life with handicap parking and all that jazz...

In the meantime guess I'll spend the weekend babying my right leg, keeping it elevated and enjoy some movies and video games from my couch and recliner. I need to ask around and see about getting an appointment to look at the leg soon, especially if the babying this weekend doesn't help lessen the pain.......

The whole NME deal is bothering me quite a bit more than I'm letting on. I miss talking to him.

I've been feeling exhausted lately. I have trouble articulating any thoughts because of it and I often forget what I'm doing almost as soon as I start doing it. I think I just need a day or two where I do nothing but sleep and watch TV.
