i am at work. it is my final day of assisted working and by that i mean having a senior nurse anesthesia resident do all my work for me and i just stand around being available. ahhhh the joy! so ms. A is at the head of the bed doing a fabulous job and i am hunkered down here in the corner trying to hide and let her run an anesthetic fully. she’s doing a great job i might add.

had my second PT appointment yesterday. it was the “massage” portion of the PT. i wasn’t expecting much, but it was actually great, although i think my rehab co-pay is ridiculous ($40/visit), considering an hour massage at most nice places start at ~$60 for a full hour, so $40 for a 25 minute trigger point pounding, though it felt great, is way over inflated. again, i figure i will do the appointments i have (the exercises i am doing seem to, if not be “helping” per seright now, definitely working muscles that need it) and maybe switch back over to my regular masseuse at some point…

otherwise, things are ok. so tired still! i just am zapped when i get home from work and basically walk the dog, pour a glass of wine, stare at the TV and get in bed by 8pm. actually, my sleep has been a little better these days though, just cause i am so tired.

i do have so many things to do though, and that pressure weighs heavy – my house needs a major cleaning, carpets too. i am just so damned disorganized. that was part of my plan after surgery, you know, not so much doing actual housework, but somehow re-aligning my mental chi to become a more evolved, dalai lama-like, organized, vegan, yoga and meditating fool. not so much…

november is right around the corner. seems like fall is whizzing by. looking forward to some great vacations i have planned this december and all the friends i get to see. oh, and i scored cheap tickets to go back and visit the grand parents in indiana in a couple of weeks, too – that will alleviate some of my guilty conscience anyway!
