Oh the drama
Mar 27, 2010
Those crazy Dr. Almanza patients are stirring things up again! ;) Good for them... us... everyone. And, shockingly, it seems like people are starting to take things seriously. Hopefully some official action will be taken to make things safer for everyone wanting surgery at an affordable price.
As for me: The new job is... a job. It goes by pretty fast. The building I work in is HUUUUGE so between the walk from the equally HUUUUGE parking lot down the LONNNG hallways, I'm actually getting some exercise. Nice. I'm kind of half-heartedly looking for a gym but I still suffer from fat shame so like I said, half-hearted effort. I'd like to tighten up some skin though. My arms are already pretty bad already and omg my chin/neck. GOBBLE GOBBLE. That's all I have to say about that.
In other news, I went to the doctor today and he diagnosed me with coccydynia. What's that, you ask? Ass pain. Technically tailbone pain which, in this particular case, is due to causes unknown. All I know is that it mothereffin hurts. And apparently there's not a whole hell of a lot doctors can do about it. Mine suggested acupuncture and St. John's Wort. I haven't decided if I think he's a fruitcake or not. I'm going to try the St. John's Wort... probably the acupuncture too, but I'm not sure about that one. He also said use a special butt pillow (which I already have) and "change the way I sit." Umm, okay. Thanks, doc. At least he didn't tell me to LOSE WEIGHT, though he kind of hinted at it. He said something about people with extra weight... bleh blah something, I don't remember. But I was ready to chime in and say but I LOST 80 lbs after the pain started! But it didn't come to that. He was pretty diplomatic about the subject and didn't say "lose weight now or else!" which is a good thing. He said coccydynia usually fixes itself eventually, even though mine has gone on for almost a year. I HOPE it goes away. I cannot imagine being in this much pain for every day of my life. Srsly. No.
