I woke up two weeks ago with the most intense pain in my right let and immediately diagnosed myself with sciatica. It sucked! I couldn't walk for a week but forced myself to try and do some light PT exercises to recover a little faster. Two weeks later, I'm finally back to being able to walk and drive again.
I found that Aleve helped me a lot more than the prescription meds I got at the ER. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I injured my ankle years ago. It's never been the same. I'm awake at 2:30 because I'm in pain. It goes in phases. It will not bother me for months then it will hurt so bad I can barely walk.
I need to go move the elf and I'm comfy in bed. DH isn't here and even if I text him to do it when he gets home I'll wake up at like 3am worried he didn't do it. Then I'll go check and never fall asleep.
*waves* And this is why I'm up at this very moment.
I really dislike my sons kindergarten teacher. My 5 year old needs some prompting to get things done. Mostly remembering to get his folder out of his bag in the AM. I’ve mentioned it to her before and She ALWAYS uses the excuse “there’s 22 of them and 1 of me!”
Today she sent his work home in his bag, with a note to send his folder everyday. His folder is always in his bag!
She has also sent my son home on the wrong bus earlier in the year. And during parent conferences in October it was obvious she was confusing him with another kid (she mentioned excessive absences as a reason he was behind, but my son was only absent one time).
This ones probably my kids fault, but at least twice a month, he “accidentally” buys lunch instead of eating what I packed him. So annoying!!
We had these kinds of issues with DS’s K teacher last year. It was with library books though. He would forget they were in his bag and not return them. I can’t believe she sent a note home when you have already asked her about it. I am not a teacher and I am sure they are very busy, but I was surprised that they expect kindergartners to remember this sort of thing.

He can't be the only one that needs reminding, right? Why can't she just announce "ok, time to take your folders out!"

I’m not sure. Also, in the afternoon, if she notices that he doesn’t have his folder, can’t she just check his bag? It’s got to be quicker than writing a note! She’s also old to be a kindergarten teacher, probably 70ish! I know it’s not easy, and she’s probably ready for retirement, but she has a background in special ed, and should know that not all kids are going to be at the same skill level. I’m just annoyed by her.

Exactly
In third grade was when our teachers really started to hammer home the personal responsibility.
My Kindergartner would never remember if there wasn't a general reminder.
My H is in the middle of interviews for his PhD internship. He's super stressed and I'm super over all this supportive BS. It's not him at all that I'm getting tired of, but the whole process is a giant PITA for a freaking 1 year internship that requires us both to relocate our lives and I'm tired of being in limbo waiting to find out where we land. And I feel like I need to keep my feelings about the whole thing mostly to myself since he's already super stressed and knowing I'm stressed is only going to stress him more when it's critical that he can focus and do well.
Add on top of that that my family is celebrating Christmas together this year, without me, and I'm kind of emotional lately. It's annoying lol.
We have a work policy that says if you're out for multiple days in a row, up to 3, it only counts as one absence. Yesterday morning the stomach bug going around our house hit me, so I stayed home, but because I was literally just out two weeks ago for two days, I am a nervous wreck about my time and came in today anyway. Dumb. I'm "better", but I'm so, so tired and my whole body hurts. And H put the girls' bags in the car for me this morning but didn't pack L anything for breakfast, so I had to drop them off, go home, take breakfast back, making me 20 minutes late this morning that I now have to make up tonight. Which is totally what I want to do while I still feel crappy. And the WORST part is that I can't even muster up any pissiness at H, because I don't feel well enough. lol.
I haven't wrapped a single present. I need to do this. But I've become old during this pregnancy and like to go lay in my bed and watch tv by like 8:30. Once the kids go to bed, I just want to be in my bed. I'm usually a night owl so its strange for me. I'm trying to psych myself up for just staying up late-ish doing some presents tonight. I really really really need to get started!
I went for my HSG "exam" yesterday and was more nervous it was going to hurt based on what I read. The tech said I'd be a little bloated but it'll go away in a couple days.... yeah a little bloated apparently means squeezing into my pants which feel like they're 4 sizes to small.

Thank you! I was prescribed Flexeril but I can’t take it since it knocks me out.
I’ve done the exercises prescribed by Dr. Google and am on the wait list at a local chiropractor.
I'm regretting having DH lead DS's cub scout tiger group. I just looked at the wolves requirements and I'm ready to cry since I'm pretty much the one planning and leading the meetings.

H asked me "when are you going to clean the house?" Yes, the house needs to be cleaned, but we both make it dirty, why do you think I'm the only one responsible for cleaning? Then when I point this out he gets all huffy "well, of course I can help! Just tell me what to do!" No, dude, you're an adult who knows how to clean a freaking house. You know what to do.

I did something to my foot a week and a half ago and it still hurts, especially after walking all day. No idea what happened. I'm also ready for the holidays to be over, I'm a Grinch.
My dad said I looked nice and he could tell I lost weight. My mom said "you can't tell she's lost anything with what she's wearing today." (Leggings and a long shirt. I was running to the grocery store and that was it.) I don't understand why she always feels the need to do that. Constantly reminds me that I'm heavy. No shit.
I really want matzo ball soup. I've had it twice years ago and loved it. I have no idea where to get it though, especially without driving super far. Any Pittsburghers have any recommendations? I'm south of the South Hills, work in South Hills.
Have you tried Smallman street deli? I know it's in town but they have a good one.

My body is a shit show. I have had intense pain my neck and shoulder since yesterday. Not constant, but when it comes on its drop to your knees pain. I went to the local ER because it's the same side as my shunt. Nothing showed up on the ct scan so they think it's muscular. They prescribed percocet and I just got a text that my prescription is delayed because of an insurance issues. WHY?! War on opioids maybe? Ugh.

This is what infuriates me about the “war on opioids”. Because people who actually need them for legit reasons are being told they are addicts and people are left to turn to the streets for it. It is some sad stuff.

I really don't know what the insurance issue is, just a text alert I got, but it makes me wonder. Just annoyed.

I had to pick up a script for someone who needed it. It took us 3 different pharmacies and the person being treated like an addict, to get them the necessary meds. It was heartbreaking though, becuse 10 year ago they just handed this stuff out like candy, now they have people hooked on them and it’s like “wait, we may have effed up”.
My insurance company is pretty shitty when it comes to stuff being due or not refilling stuff early (for any meds). My pharmacy lets it slide and probably shouldn’t. It is just insane.

It's a different pharmacy than I've been using. I wonder if that was a red flag? I just went closest to the ER, which is close to my house because I knew I'd have to go back out for it. Ugh

So, you need help hiding his body now I assume? We got you.
H had to pick matilda who is 5, up from the ymca after school care early today, because she had fallen from the play structure outside and hit her head. Except she didn’t fall, she was pushed off the top by another kid, 6yo boy. Luckily she’s totally fine! It wasn’t super high about five feet but still!
I’m a little pissed off right now thinking about it. Obviously the ymca reprimanded him and I’m sure told his parent at pick up but anyway, I’m annoyed.
Also after posting today about how great my 3.5yo is doing with potty training he pooped in his pants to punish me for saying such a thing 😡

My DH got rear ended today. Kid that hit him was 18ish and admitted to my H that he fell asleep at the wheel. I’m so pissed. This is the 3rd time in 7 years that my DH has been hit (and I was hit 2x). My DH has never gone to the hospital after an accident, but we did today- his neck and back hurt, and he’s having vision problems. No diagnosis from ER, have to go see an ophthalmologist tomorrow.

It isn't insurance; it's federal law. Pharmacies can not refill RX's until the patient is almost out. So you might have 2-3 days before your RX is up before you can request a refill. It's fucked. My dad is on a whole variety of specialty medication for his transplant and he hasn't been able to receive a refill until the last day. It's ridiculous. They're reasoning is that people are stockpiling medications...for what, I have no idea. My dad doesn't take any opiates. He takes rejection medication (among BP, cholesterol, etc) FFS. But, nope. It's a blanket law that applies to all prescriptions.
