And, way to fast, we're back to Monday again. I have two days of just work, then the doctors and TTRPGs hit and the rest of the week is full through Sunday. I'll kick off the day on Wednesday with the ortho in the morning and Blades in the Dark in the evening. Then Thursday and Friday night are both D&D games. Saturday is my intake appointment with the acupuncturist, followed by a Monster of the Week game. Lastly on Sunday, we have two games, both D&D.
I continue to be nervous about the ortho. I'm not worried that he's going to say that I need surgery--from every medical professional (and people who have had rotator cuff injuries) I've talked to, that's the consensus. it's just not possible to unfuck that goat without it. I'm a little concerned about scheduling, and whether he's going to be willing to give me pain meds to hold me until then.
It's going to depend a lot on what the time frame is to return to work. I have 20 hours of PTO at the moment. If I can do the surgery on a Thursday and be back to work on Monday, I'm good to go in June. If not, it might have to wait until I've been there 6 months and can use short term disability, which would be in September. Of course, I've also got to figure out preops, so that could be interesting.
Either way, my shoulder picked a seriously inconvenient time to catastrophically fail.
I'm also a touch nervous about the accupuncturist. I'm hoping it goes well and that I get some pain relief. Again, I'm not expecting miracles. I just want less pain. That is the entirety of what I want from it. Honestly, if they try to tell me that they can actually cure anything that's wrong with me, I will be walking. Again, these goats are fucked, and this is not going to unfuck them. I'm going strictly for the pain relief properties, which I will be very clear about.
First up, though, work. It's going to be difficult waiting for Wednesday morning to get here. My sister is going to try to take a few hours off on Wednesday so Jess can come with me to my appointment. Hopefully she can get off. I'd like to have Jess with me. I know they're going to come up with questions that my hamster brain isn't going to.
Okay, time for me to go forth and consider pants. Everyone have the very best Monday you can have!
