Dr Update

No, this is not my new dr... I wish!!

So I met with my new doctor today, who took over my worker's compensation treatment. He seems nice enough, but overwhelmed by all the new patients he has acquired. He was not up to speed on my chart at all.

I explained to him the current situation and he did some x-rays while I was there. The x-rays showed some soft tissue damage in my neck, but nothing that would explain the problems I am still having in my arm. He ordered a nerve conduction study and set up my next appointment on 11/21/11.

I have to admit this whole thing is very frustrating. It's nice they aren't rushing me back to work, when I can't even take my night-shirt off with my right arm, but it's frustrating to feel like we are making no progress in my treatment.

I am now out of FMLA, which means my job is no longer protected. I spoke to my workers comp adjuster about it, who I actually really like, and she told me the worse case scenario is I lose my job, I continue to receive workers comp payments until I am released by my doctor as able to go back to work, then I would be qualified for unemployment.

On a bright note, my brother is coming to town with his wife and my gorgeous nephews! Can't wait to see them!

It's a beautiful day out today...

I have to admit, I am apparently losing track of my days! This not working thing is really throwing me off. I have been rushing around all morning getting ready for my doctors appointment with my workers compensation doctor at 1:00, come to find out it is actually at 2:00...tomorrow. All I can do is laugh at myself.

I would make the trip into town anyways, but since I have to be there tomorrow, might as well save the gas. -_-

The last few days I have been reading A Suitcase and Stilettos and am just loving Megan's blog. She has been all over the world and has so much life experience, which is exactly what I am craving right now! I am enjoying living vicariously through her. She moved to Norway to live with her boyfriend this summer and is currently journaling about her new life.

I am surprised at how many American women have moved to Scandinavia with to live with their Scandinavian boyfriends! As most of you know, I find the blond haired, blue eyed men delectable and have to ask, where are they meeting all of these beautiful men?! I met a few while in Los Angeles, but alas they are either married or famous.

Of course my ideal man would look something like this ----> , which leaves me to wonder, is there some sort of Swedish exchange dating program? Hmmm....

Speaking of Swedish men makes me reflect on their style of pants, and while I am not a big fan of skinny jeans, with this man the tighter the better! :o)

This evening I am going to be meeting up with my Aunt, Uncle, cousin Darin and his kids over pizza. Believe it or not, I am not craving the pizza but the salad bar! Round Table has a great salad bar and I love their ranch dressing. Yum!

So what is your favorite pizza place or who do you think makes the best ranch dressing?
