I realized that I had done one thing outside of my comfort zone for November, and then yesterday I did something else. SO I did it ONE more month! Now I need to start working on December so I'm not rushing the end of the month again.

I'm not sure if I am really going to continue this next year. Maybe a version of it, but not the stress of 2 things per month. That was tough this year. And because of doing this, my comfort zone has grown SO much over the past 11 months. I can't believe the things I have accomplished and tried. WOW! Very exciting. I'm looking to the future to see what else is possible. Doing this opened up so many doors for me. I am a different person than I was a year ago. I like how far I have come.

I'm a little loopy right now. Already took my first pill and have another one to take in 15 minutes. Then I'll have my shot an hour after that. Nervous about it. But these pills sure do take the edge off! It is so weird when you are aware that you are out of it! And yup, I'm SO out of it. I was standing in my kitchen after I went there looking for something. I don't know what I was looking for. Then I just stood there... no thoughts, just standing in my kitchen looking around. That was when I realized I was officially loopy lou! :)

I really hope this shot works. I don't know what else I'll do after this. My appointment tomorrow is with the neurosurgeon for a follow up. We'll see what they say after that appointment too. I'm just sick of all of this. I just want my back to be ok and I want to be able to do things I want to do and not worry about if I can turn my head or not later because the muscles in my neck and shoulders may or may not be inflamed to a crazy point. Just so frustrating.

My dad already called, stuck in traffic with an accident trying to get to my house. He's taking me to the hospital today. I'm not allowed to drive after the injection because it tenses up all the muscles in my neck... not safe to drive like that.

Hmm... what else is new. I have an appointment to look at an apartment tomorrow just after my doctors appointment. It is a 2 family house, right near the hospital, 2nd floor and the owners are downstairs. They are older, retired, and seem really nice. The price is right, but I want to check out the place. Only BIG draw back is no washer/dryer. I'm going to see what I think when I look at the place. If I have access to the basement, then maybe they would consider a hookup there. Heats included in the rent, but hot water is electric. She said the electric bill would be about $50-60/month. That's not too bad. I'm already paying $35 without hw.

Ok, dad just called... he's at the Quincy Split, almost here. Time to get my sneakers on and go! Hopefully this goes well!!
Ciao!! :)
