Have you ever had loads going on, lots of funny and interesting things surrounding you and you are just too tired to write them down? Yup, that would be me right about now.
I had my first physical therapy appointment this morning with “Charles”.
OUCH.
Traction is pretty cool, actually. The put me in a very tight corset, attached me to a crane thingy and lifted me up until I was pretty weightless, but could still walk on a tredmill. Charles couldn’t quite believe I haven’t had regular treatment with the condition of my back. It will take awhile to get it all better, but I am determined.
We began the “Rip everything to hell” portion of the remodel. We gutted the ancient and gross bathroom, ripped off all the baseboards in the living room and hall and destroyed the tile and bathtub.
MMM…Black mold…MMM.
It is all such an overwhelming mess I want to cry. We have ONE WEEK. ONE. UNO.
Pray for me. If you can’t do that, send chocolate. Diet Coke, too. Drugs, strippers and rock and roll bands may have to be held in reserve if it gets any worse.
I’ll let you know.
If I learned anything from watching Home Improvement all those years ago, it’s that home improvements lead to wacky situations! And somebody usually gets electrocuted with hilarious results.
Seriously though, good luck. It’s for these very reasons that I’m no so much into home owning and like the idea of picking up and leaving after a year, not worrying about the long term. Long live wasteful renting!
Good luck with that Loralee.
Well…the traction thing sounds kinda cool…but I don’t envy you on the bathroom project. Although I might envy your bathroom when you’re done!
Hang in there. You can do it! I’m sending energy straight from the Minnesota coffee shops!!! ;)
Oh, my… I feel for you SO much! My brother does remodeling for a living, and he is a MASTER! He says he keeps a picture in his mind of what the end result will look like. He sometimes has to remind his clients of that ‘final’ picture.
I’m glad you are getting professional help for your back. Here’s to less and less pain!!!
Huh. If someone comes through with those last few for you, give me a call, k?! I’ll bring lots of singles- properly folded of course!
Don’t kill yourselves!Atleast it’s a smallish bathroom! Oh, you are going to looove it so much when it’s done! There is nothing like NEW things!
Oh, and if I could get one of those traction things to just stay hooked up to all day, that would be awesome! The extra weight/huge boobs aren’t so great on my poor back. Maybe your huge “girls” aren’t helping you either…
black mold? uhm, i thought that was dangerous and deadly.
corset – i hate wearing a bra with underwire. although, maybe you should get the therapist to teach you how to turn tricks. i mean, flips and stuff like that.
remodeling – i don’t. i move. then again, i am single, and have NO kids, and don’t own my own home. one day. maybe. anyway. good luck.
