Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Fuck.

I had to cancel physical therapy for my arms because my leg decided to become even more fucked up- either a tearing or torn muscle in the calf or (very unlikely) a blood clot. I go in for a sonogram tomorrow morning, but am in a shitload of pain & can't walk. Once we get that resolved I have to deal with my knees, as they're rapidly becoming unusable (medial miniscus degeneration)

Luckily I have vicodin, but I'm trying to hold off taking them until I go to bed.

Worst fucking health year ever. Thank god for the insurance, or I would be taking the flying leap off a very pretty bridge...

FINALLY I got some great news from Japan that my friends are ok! But they have family that lost their home and are having to pick up and move elsewhere. At least they are alive....the rest is all material and can be replaced and rebuilt.

Considering all the fucked up news out of Japan good news is welcome news.

Eric: I'm hoping things get better.....wish there was something we could do besides offer well wishes though...

FUCK these black days on the calendar, too, I don't mind a day of remembered grief every year (((Jella))) but FUCK the way they sneak up and make me freakishly grumpy before I figure them out. Or the way they leap out of calendar pages and yogurt-cup pull dates to bite me in the brain... fuck that shit, seriously.

Fucking water leaks are a bitch, too, sorry Dave!

We are lucky here.. Our water heater is 2 feet from an outside wall.. The leak pan has a over flow tube out.. The pressure releife tube go's outside too.. I did add a earthquake belt last year. Don't want that fucking thing moving around the house in a shaker.

Was called out to a water damage repare.. The water heater had been in the basement under the stairs.. It had lonched throught he basement stairs, the second floor staies and the attice stairs. It stoped before the roof..

Dose any one ever check these thing..

The fucking tankless don't have to do that.
It's just bad design or bad settings.
I think it might be helped with a conditioning tank.
If you use any pre-heating, make sure it's one that can deal with that.
Some can.

It's annoying, isn't it?

I'll look into the conditioning tank idea, thanks Gyre

(((jella))) on your black day

Good fucking news: sonogram tech said she didn't see any sign of a blood clot, though it's going to have to be verified by the doc.

Bad fucking news: she didn't see signs of muscle tearing either, which means its small & needs an MRI or CT scan; or it's not a muscle tear & it's going to take further research. The left calf is swollen up like a small balloon has been fucking implanted, and feels about the same.

Burning Man is definitely on the fucking back burner, so to speak. I can't get a job until I get my health back (or even when I'm doing fine, apparently), and until I get a job I can't afford to go. Last year I only made it on the kindness of others, doing that two years in a row starts to feel fucking leech-like.

And compared to the people of Japan I'm still in fine shape, so I'm trying to keep fucking perspective in my head.

Fuck.... Boss: well looks like were going to cut $5.00/hour off from ya and the insurance we cut off 3 months ago without giving ya heads up about, yea that cut looks like it's going to be LONG term.... So if you need to think about it or look for something different let me know Monday....

Me: well at least I didn't get fucking let go completely.... Said the basic bla bla back and then said, What other jobs do you think are open for me right now....?

So I'm paying a grand a month on the cobra (family of 4) and fucking lost another $1000 in pay and been off work for 10 weeks (commercial Landscape installation-mid-large scale) I told him just fucking put me on a mower so I can keep busy...

I know it's much fucking worse for fellow eplayan's, but this really fuck's my 2 kids in college up... Fuck Fuck Fuck how fast the other half forgets the deeds of fucking Bush('s)..... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Fucking thanks... Feel somewhat fucking better....

fuck ibd. I hope things start looking up.

My fucking bureaucrats approved a back specialist. I'm not having back problems, I'm having knee/ leg problems. Now we have to try it again, while I sit in fucking pain. No way I'll see a doctor before next week now. Fuck. Got vicodin and when those run out I've been okayed for the vicoprofen I have from another injury.

I'm really starting to get bored of my house.
