A bunch of useless crap
Published on April 9, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
After breakfast I went back into Oshkosh and picked up a couple of military trailers to haul down to the yard. As my back had kept me from sleeping very well last night I was really tired by the time I finished chaining them down. My back was also killing me at that point.

I decided then and there that as soon as I got to the yard I would call to see if I could get in to see the witch doctor this afternoon. I was supposed to follow up with him after two weeks anyway, and since it's been 10 days I figure that's close enough. I have an appointment for 3:15 this afternoon.

I informed the boss about the appointment and asked him to pass it along to dispatch. That effectively removes any debate dispatch might have about the issue. I also told the boss that I was going to get a hotel so I could shower and rest a bit before the appointment and would touch base with "R" in dispatch (his brother) after the appointment. He gave me a thumbs up on that, so guess who's gonna get the hotel bill. LOL

I'm checked in to a room, just a couple of doors down from where I spent most of last month. As soon as I rest a bit I'll get a shower and change into some clean clothing. I plan to spend the night here tonight and am really looking forward to downing some pain pills this evening. I need the sleep.

I'm also uploading the first segment of my on the road video experiment. I'll post something on that once the upload completes and I ensure it works correctly. Maybe I'll have time to finish the editing on the rest of it and get it uploaded this evening.

exactly. I'm hoping a bit of treatment and that wonderful ultrasound will ease it up some. I'm a tad worried at this point though because I'm experiencing some pain and a "drawing up" feeling in my right leg. That started on the trip down to TX and I was trying to ignore it but it's just getting worse. It wasn't doing that before.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep.

Can't they give you one of those portable equipment that you can use on your own? It's just like the one they use but smaller and portable and battery operated. You should enquire about it.

I dunno, but I'll ask.

Sorry to hear that things are flaring up for you Mason, but hopefully it'll pass soon and you'll be feeling better much quicker than after your last break.

Thanks. I think maybe I just pushed it a tad too hard.

Oh yeah, the doc seems to think the back is going to be ok, but he wants to see me again Wednesday just the same so I'll be here until then. *sigh*
