Well, my premonition of plague and viral chaos as a result of my flu shot and Shingles Vaccination have not developed into actuality, but I have been shot down in my prime with a nasty case of Sciatica. According to the Internet (purveyor of all truths and accuracies medical and otherwise) it was either Sciatica, a side effect of Type II Diabetes or a cancerous tumor that would require a leectomy. The people in the ER are going with Sciatica. I have had milder cases of this before, but this time around I can't walk. I am NOT AMBULATORY. I started noticing this on Saturday morning while I was riding with Jody, and it got progressively worse. Yesterday at lunch with Lynda and Michal I was having a good bit of pain, but I faked it through dinner. When we got home, I had a couple chores to complete and then it was all over. I slept in the big blue chair, and this morning it was off to the emergency room.g-
BUT, before we went, Jody went out to the front barn and found the crutches. They were in the attic of the barn, which meant he was up on a ladder in the dark getting me crutches. What a wonderful man. AND two crutches work MUCH BETTER than one cane. I'm jus' sayin'!
And speaking of wonderful (in an entirely different way), by the time I got back home from the hospital, the hydrocodone was giving me a glowing sensation and I was feeling much better. I will take another (please) when I retire for the evening.
No work tomorrow or Wednesday, send me good wishes for the ability to walk unaided by Thursday!
Deeds, Actions, Changes, CRUTCHES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
