For all intents and purposes, I've been gone for weeks. The primary reason for my absence was/is an inability to find a comfortable position to sit and blog. The pain from my herniated disc has gotten markedly worse since my initial MRI in July, and sitting and typing is really, really uncomfortable. Previous treatments have yielded no relief. Next is another MRI (Yay! It's going to cost $500!); hopefully, it will provide the orthopedic surgeon the information he needs to make me less miserable. Cross your fingers!
In the meantime, school starts tomorrow and my internship at Planned Parenthood (not the Southern Tier AIDS Program; I am so behind on updates!) starts Tuesday. Not surprisingly, I feel totally unprepared.
Maybe looking at baby Frankie trying to eat me will make me feel better? Let's try.
