I haven't done a personal update about yours truly in quite some time since I've been busy riding the meme fun circuit, so I've decided to toss a few bits of information out to everyone.Way back a few months ago I decided to "test drive" a pain relieving machine called the TENS Unit. For those unfamiliar with this, it basically sends very low electrical current through electrodes that you stick on your body in the area surrounding the pain you have (my case it's lower back). The good news is that while the unit doesn't magically take all my pain away, and when I use it I'm forced to wear my pants down real low, thus creating my own version of woman "workman's crack," it has definitely lessened the pain and eliminated the strange sudden painful nerve spasms I was suddenly cursed with. Anything I can do to eliminate pain short of selling my soul to you know who (or health insurance companies), is a good thing!
Nothing too exciting to report on the lap-band front, however. Same old issues I've had for the past year, struggling not to get things stuck, but in general still very happy I took the necessary steps to get it done. Sure it's frustrating at times, but it has become a part of me, and I'm cool with it.
In non-medical related news, most of you know that I'm dating Mark from An Eerie Tapestry already and have asked when we're getting back together to see each other, so the official news is that it looks as if he'll be returning at the end of May so he can join me in attending two book related conventions in New York City. But plans haven't been solidified as of yet, so there's still a chance I may end up there for an extended stay. I'll keep you posted of course.
Also on the good news related front...it's going to be a year at the end of this month that I've moved out of my home and am renting it. I'm happy to report that despite the rocky beginning with some minor related house fixing up necessities to be completed, the year has gone by well and the renters are excellent. Here's hoping for a few more years of good renting!
Well that's all I can think of for now! Please stay bloggy tuned to your regularly scheduled silly meme answering tomorrow.
