Today is the day I ended up in urgent care...sigh

Post by Z is for Zangie » Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:43 pm

My life sucks..short version, couldn't walk this morning again, went to Urgent Care, DR says he thinks it is sciatica, gave me a script for prednisone, a steroid..( oh joy joy, bloated face, extreme appetite and wired so you can't sleep). But, hopefully, it works, also keep taking Motrin and use a heating pad, rest, and exercise after it gets better...gonna try going in to work tomorrow, sorry I was out for a time, will try to do NO PO again tomorrow. Computers are still screwed up. Congrats @GuideToACrazyWorld, hope it goes well.

About a 10 minute read

Yeah, that's in my playbook, but new job is wiping me out every day. I looked at the local humane society and he isn't listed there.

So, I had the interview today, it felt good during and then the entire 2 hour ride home I was picking myself apart. I got a call a little after 4pm today and I have a 2nd interview at 3:30 on Monday. I really liked the people I talked to, it's a pretty small operation, but I think I can do some good their.
