Doctor Visit and Weekly Recap
Well, I took off half a day today and went to the doctor's office for a consultation about my back problem. Looks like my nerves in my legs are getting pinched a bit, but hopefully with a little physical therapy I'll be able to get back to being mobile again. I've been slowly but surely getting worse with my mobility...getting into the shop is a pain in the butt because I have a heck of a time with stairs now. I've fallen twice in a slow mo kind of way this week going up the stairs. One time was just me putting my knee down on the step so that I could regain my balance. The second time the limb of the bush that I was holding onto came loose and threw me off balance.
In the shop I've been taking over the forklift for my travel. I drive it into the office to within a few feet of my desk and out to the shop to talk to the guys. Most steps that I've taken at any one time this week was about 150 ft. I'm good for about 20-30 ft as long as the ground is even under my feet because I can't use my ankles to balance my weight. I'm basically walking like a 90 year old man right now. Hopefully they'll get me into the MRI soon next week so that I can find out exactly what's going on with my back and I can try and start physical therapy.
Speaking of 90 year olds, there was a nice older lady in the doctors office that had a great saying for how she was feeling when the nurse asked her, "Well, I'm still above the grass..." thought that was a really good way of describing a week that evidently included a trip to the hospital for some stitches after a fall.....That would pretty much describe my week to a T, but then it could be worse...I could have had something more serious wrong with me.
Anyways, I am gonna get going....talk to ya later
