Hurtin' Unit

     Some time ago I had a post named Sick And Tired. Well the leg thing has gotten worse. Went to the doctor on June 19. Took x-ray of back. sciatica. Had to go back two days later for a MRI. Been waiting two weeks to hear back. Finally got through to someone today. Had me come in today for an ultrasound. Found out I have peripheral arterial disease. Narrowing of the atreries. Oh boy. And for a kicker in infected ingrown toe nail.
     I got a doctors order off work for ten days. Have to quit smoking. I am paying out for co-pays. Prescpiptions. Loss of work. At this rate I will be broke soon. Do not get me wrong. I want to work. I want to pay my bills. I am at the mercy of my employers to pay me sick pay and vaction pay. They have already filled out forms so I can get through this. It's nice to work for a good company.
     As it has been all my life, work is the main focus in my life. I hate to put them in a bind. But I am sure they are going to bare with me though this. And will be back better than ever.
     I have another ultrasound tomorrow. Cardiology, neurosurgery, and podiactc in the next week. You would think that that was enough to make you feel better on your own.
