Flatulence Nightmare
I have survived the holidays for another year. My visit to Alberta was great. I always love to spend time with my Aunty Cathy, no matter the reason or season. It was nice not to do gifts in any capacity either...nice change.
I also survived the plane experiences...going to Edmonton I got the whole row to myself. Not so lucky coming back (full plane, lotsa kids) BUT the gentleman I squashed in beside was very gracious and not a dick so I think he is awesome.
My neck krink proved to be an utter pain in the ass the whole time I was away...the pain has shifted down my arms and made my thumb numb. As soon as I got home I got in to see the Dr...she gave me some nerve drugs...I took one last night and it made me feel a bit drunk and sleepy which explains why people on this drug look like zombies quite often. Not something that I could take for work....
Went to my 1st ever massage therapy appt. yesterday...what a trip. If you know me at all you know I am not fond of being touched, hugged, etc by strangers (and most ppl in general though I do have a small list of ppl I make exceptions for!) so the thought of a massage was almost more than I could wrap my head around - but desperate times call for desperate measures...and I am willing to try anything to ease up this neck/pinched nerve BS.
I managed to find a lady therapist...which at the end of the year is tough b/c EVERYONE was booked - guess ppl are using up their yearly allowance like crazy...so I get there and we chat a bit, she is very nice and super chill so thank gawd...she picked up on my apprehension immediately so she was mindful of that...getting a massage, even just on one quadrant of your body, the sorest piece of shit part of your body is a total trip....it's like you are getting all the hugs you never got as a kid all at once...I had to stop myself from crying @ one point (this is apparently not uncommon at all...the release of _______ whatever during massage, yoga, etc.) - tripped me out...I didn't completely relax , I kind of jammed my hands in my pockets and held on....THOU SHALT NOT FART DURING MASSAGE was my mantra. ha ha ha
She did traction on my head which was cool...and basically just worked on my arm and shoulder for an hour...that hour felt like forever.
I felt kinda weird all night...went to bed and woke up broken as all heck. Like I just paid 90.00 to be gently beaten up.
Xrays today....physio Friday....really hoping this gets me ready for work Monday, going to be a giant pile waiting for me Monday....oh the dread.
My sprog had a good xmas abroad...she called my aunts xmas day which was nice...thought I would get her all to myself next year for xmas but it turns out the famjam is headed to Disneyland for xmas so she will partake in that and get to see her grandparents (they live quite close to Disneyland) while on the trip...that will be great for her. I plan to go my whole life not setting foot in Disneyland so likely my sister and I will do xmas here in Vic.
Little baby Haedyn is home now with her momma....escaping the clutches of the evil nurse Janet just in the nick of time. (WORST.NURSE.EVER!!!)...cannot wait to meet her...hoping to go in Feb. or something for a week long visit so I am not so rushed.
She looks so much like Madelyn already....was hoping they would be little twinsies...!! WOOHOO!
