We're thinking Tank may have diabetes now. Tingling in the extremities, thirsty, joint pain, it all points to it. He's got a doctor's appt. next week. But for now he's been reading up on it and he knows he's got to cut out all that sugar and do a lower carb diet. Now I have no idea what kind of stuff to buy for him to eat. He's so picky in the first place, and this new diet will cut out almost everything he does like. We'll just have to get used to this.

My back isn't hurting anymore, now it's my leg... all the way down to my toes. They are sort of numb. My nerve got pinched good. Last night I had to sleep on the floor again (I've been sleeping in bed, but it just hurt too bad last night). I'm soooo tired now. With this being a holiday weekend (Memorial Day), it's going to be slow at work, so I may leave early and come home to take a quick nap before I get Noah. That is, if my leg isn't hurting too bad. It's not too bad now, so sleeping on the floor must have helped.

I hate that I can't work out. My energy level is much lower now. And on the other hand, Tank will need to get more exercise now. I won't be able to do it with him for a while, though.

I have spent the last 5 days on the floor. My back went out, and I pinched my sciatic nerve. I'm going back to work today after Tank gets home because I can't drive yet and he'll have to drive me. My back isn't hurting anymore, but my nerve is still giving me hell. My hip and leg hurts and my foot is numb. It's slowly getting better though.

We ended up going to the emergency room Friday night. I hate hospitals, especially the ER. But I was in way too much pain. I got some lame pain killers and muscle relaxers. They barely help.

The house needs cleaning, I need to go to the store, and I need to get better. Tank has done a little house cleaning and shopping, but not much. Man, this bites.

Getting older sucks.

My back has been killing me for about a week now, and a few months back, I messed up my neck and shoulder. I went to the chiro once for my neck, but even with insurance it's too expensive. So, I'll just get Noah to walk on my back, lol.

And the last Star Wars movie opens tomorrow night at midnight. I really want to see it on the big screen, too. Finding a sitter will be the hard part. Tank wants us to go to the midnight show tomorrow, but I don't know...

Well, it's finally warmed up. I believe spring/summer is finally here. Took it long enough.

And, Lady Unluck has smiled on us again. The fuel pump in Tank's truck went out. 75 bucks to tow the thing, and 350 dollars to get it fixed. Ack. And we were doing so well, too. This will set us back for a while, dammit.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going in to work today. My back is so messed up that I can hardly stand it. I think I need to lay on a hot towel today, not sit at a desk for 8 hours. Guess I'll see how I'm doing after I have a shower.

It's been so cold around here lately. Lows in the 30's, highs barely getting to the mid 60's. I thought it was May... hmmm....

Other than the freaky weather, all is the same here. Nothing new to report.

Ok, time to work out.
