Bothersomeness...

Well, here it is Monday, and I apologize for not posting sooner. You see, I'm not at work at the moment. I'm at home, once again sitting on a heating pad and swearing. Yesterday, my right knee decided, for reasons know only to itself, to beginning aching. Really aching. No big deal, happens pretty frequently. I went on with my day. About two hours later, however, both hips and my left knee decided to join in. All in the interest of keeping my right knee from feeling lonely, or maybe because they felt left out. I don't know. It was bad enough yesterday, even after 1600 mg of ibuprofen (8 pills, if anyone's interested), and heating pads, that I was almost in tears. Blah.

Because I drive a stick shift, and have an hour and fifteen minute commute, each way, I called in today. Then called my doctor. He called back (I like this guy!), and is putting me on a quick prednisone taper. No biggie, I hope. Also hope this stops it, since my ribs have gotten really tender too. If not, I'll call him, and he'll try something else. I'll keep you posted, I promise.

Called my prescription card info into the pharmacy, so when the doctor calls in the prescription, it'll apply. My grandmother is going to pick it up for me, and bring it out, so I don't have to drive. Very nice, I'm thankful. Don't want to drive at the moment.

Tomorrow I'll be back at work. Don't want to, but I do need to get paid, and don't want to use all my sick time. So I'm sure I'll see everyone online tomorrow.
