Rachel I understand what you mean, there are days I walk around thinking "I want to die" and I know I don't mean it, but it is a negative mantra I get into. I shake it off and tell myself that this is gonna be around for a while, so I gotta find ways to get the pain down so I can live my life. That to me is key, living life. I had someone suggest I take an LOA with my short term disability and I know I would sit around feeling sorry for myself. Now that I have found this forum and know how regimented you have to be to heal, I feel hopeful. Every day is like a new start, the setbacks are a pisser but this can be done. Now tomorrow I may not feel so rosy, but my bottom line remains if I can get in my car somehow and get to work, that is all I care cuz I gotta earn a living to keep everything else going in my life. By the time the day is over, I am so glad that another part of this is done.
I see my CRS Wed, I've already seen a general surgeon but he is too far from work to keep going back and forth with my other appointments. I need to be able to dodge between patients. I got in when I called within 7 days. My general surgeon was gonna do LIS right away, not fool around. He probably was right. If this is what this guy suggests, I will do it. Whatever, let's just get going.

Where do you live that you have to wait like that? I am in the mid atlantic and it isn't like that.

My big question is, and I am sure the answer is out there: how does everyone sit?
