Well, I called again this morning (and yes have been using the urgent care option, I guess they just don't think its actually that urgent), and they finally put me down for Monday. Four days away but at least I've got an appointment.
lady: how can I help you?
me: I have severe lower back pain and need to make an appointment.
lady asks for my sponsor's ssn and my address and name.
i give it to her.
lady: and you said it was lower back?
me: yes.
lady: and how long has this been going on?
me: over a year.
lady: oh....
me: yeah.
So anyway, my back is slightly better. Not much, but I'll take anything. Sleeping on the heating pad seems to help. But I have a problem. My knee started hurting a little again yesterday, probably because I've been sleeping with a pillow under my knees to take pressure off my back. See, when my knee stays bent for too long its gets stiff and starts to hurt really bad. So now I have a dilemma: knee or back. And I can't go back to therapy right now because my back hurts to bad. Oy gevald. Oh and for the record, I'm kind of pissed off that I have to wait until Monday to see the Doctor when I've been barely able to move since Saturday. And for the record, if they prescribe me pain medication you can bet every dollar you have in the bank I am taking it. And if they say ibuprofen, I swear to god, I will stab them in the eye.
Other than that nothing is new. I can't believe its fall..... a part of me wanted this summer to last forever, because there was comfort in knowing my husband wouldn't be deployed for over a year. I can no longer say that.
I can't wait to see my family and friends back home. Even though I've got my own life going on out here in the desert, you guys are woven into my heart so intricately I could never separate it from you even if I wanted.

I miss you so much. I could never separate you from my life either.I love you to much. I can't wait to see you and willy. Everyday when I get up I look at the calendar and go though the house yelling 10 more days!!! or whatever the day is. I can't wait till you get here. I am going to bust with joy. I always said summer was my favorite season but not this year when fall started I was so happy. i love you and can't wait to see you
I am sorry you have to wait so long to see the Doctor. Maybe you should try the olive oil on the knee too. It can't hurt. I cannot wait to see you but I know that I must wait............ You know you and Candice are the best parts of me. No way to separate me from me :) I love you , Darling, Mama Praise God that you got an appointment.
