Friday

Its been a crazy week. I worked 23 hours in the theater this week which is over double of what I normally do but at least I am making money. The set for Grapes of Wrath is completely insane. I am currently building the running river and swimming pool. I will take some pictures the next time I am in there.

I FINALLY GOT AN ANSWER TO MY BACK PAIN!!! I am so excited. Almost as excited as when I found out I had a hernia. It turns out that the knots in my back aren't actually muscle spasms, they are lumps of scar tissue from my muscle spasms in the fall. That is why my muscle relaxants didn't do jack shit for the pain. But the doctor started me on trigger point injections of lidocain and cortisone directly into the scar tissue to help break it up and get rid of the pain and I can do them every two weeks. Unfortunately I will still have to go do PT at the hospital to try and fix my shoulder mechanics. The injections will hopefully take away some of the pain in the next couple days so I might actually get a good nights sleep for the first time this year. All very exciting news.

I will be spending the rest of the weekend studying for my orgo test on monday so I will probably not have any fun weekend stories. Ah well. I need more study music. I really like the STS9 but it usually makes me more sad and distracted than focused and studious.

still trying to figure out if i should try and talk to sharkums....
