It's morning! Ew. But I have the day off! Yay! Originally, I was just taking off early, but after thinking about it, I just took the whole day. That way I don't have to pretend to do work while I get anxious about the back doctor.
With a new doctor you never know what you're going to get. They could be awesome and caring, or they could be a total asshole. Especially, since I'm a woman going about pain. And I'm fat. So you wonder if they're going to blame my back on my weight, or tell me I'm hysterical or if it's all just in my head. I'm hoping they'll be good, but I will fret until my appointment. Also, I don't know if they'll understand that I'm not able to stop doing what I'm doing for dad. I can't stop caretaking. Rest is just not an option.
I'm not asking for pain meds, though I probably wouldn't turn them down, either. Mostly, I want muscle relaxants and maybe trigger point injections. I'm just tired of hurting all the time. I know a certain amount comes with age, but this seems excessive.
I also have my shrink appointment, my last with this doctor, as he's leaving the practice. I'm not horribly upset about that. He was fine, but I never really clicked with him. As long as I get someone who's willing to continue my prescriptions, I don't really care. I just need someone to give me my shit.
And of course, our severe weather is supposed to spin up right around while I have my appointments, so that'll be awesome. I hate storms, and we're supposed to be getting some big ones. Hopefully, it's not too bad. I'd prefer no tornadoes, thank you. With dad on oxygen, power loss is fraught. We've got a couple of tanks, but only about 15 hours worth. So, another reason for me to be anxious.
Last night we had our first Storm Lord's Wrath game in 3 months. It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to get back into those characters and plot. Thank fuck for our notetaker![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
chaneen because I didn't remember a goddamn thing about what they were doing after that long. But between the notes and the module, I got back in the saddle and figured out what was going on.
Okay, time to take some ibuprofen and consider getting myself together. Dad has a couple of appointments today, so I want to be dressed. I don't know that I will be taking point, since standing for any length of time hurts like hell, but just in case. Everyone have a wonderful Monday!
