Bummed...

So here I sit. Another day wasted. I've decided to not go back to work until next Monday. That gives my bum a little more time to heal. To be honest though, the real reason I'm not going back until Monday is because I'm in a funk right now. Feeling sorry for myself, worrying about the results of my SLNB. I'm so down right now that all I want to do is sit in this freakin' recliner and have a pity party of one (Me!) for myself.

My surgeon did write me a work note stating that I would need to be out for 4-6 weeks but I don't know how he came up with that time frame. If I really wanted to, I could manage going back to work today with little to no problem. I just don't want to. I like feeling sorry for myself right now. I know, I know, it's awful of me isn't it? I know it will do me good to get back to work and I need the paycheck so I will force myself, but NOT until Monday.

I did go with my mom and daughter to Lehigh to visit my brother 'n law who is in the hospital. He's diabetic and also has gout in his knee - he's the same age as I am. On Sunday he was running a fever and his knee was swollen. He doesn't have health insurance so he went to the emergency room and they admitted him. He's hoping he will be out tomorrow. I'm praying for him. He doesn't take his insulin or his gout medication because he can't afford to buy it. His sugar was around 500 on Sunday evening before he went to the hospital. It sucks when you have no insurance. I checked online and was able to find patient assistance programs for each of his medications and I think he would qualify for the programs. Once he's out of the hospital, I'll help him complete the applications so that he can take them to his doctor.

We also stopped at Wal Mart while over there. My daughter, Hadley, needed some make-up and a new flat iron. We also had her finger sized for a class ring at the jewelry department and will order her ring online thru Wal Mart since it is so much cheaper than ordering thru the school's link. She is going to Universal Studios this weekend for Grad Bash and looking forward to it. She graduates June 2nd. She's my youngest. Time sure does fly!
