My Single Mom Life

The doctors appointment went very well.
He listened and took me off of that synthetic tramadol crap.
We talked about other options, my PT, swim therapy, and my new elliptical.
He said to go right ahead and do it, but take it very slow at first, build up to longer times and different work outs.
His PT therapist is going to create a workout plan for me using the elliptical, and it will all be coordinated with my other PT therapist.
But first, we have to build it.

That's right, the elliptical is in this box and 'some assembly is required'.
It arrived right before I left this morning.
Sebastian is going out rollerskating with friends tonight, so Mark and I will tackle putting it together.
I'll take pics and stuff as we go along. It shouldn't be too bad to build, I'm pretty good at this kind of stuff and I have plenty of tools

It was a wicked long day of waiting in offices, waiting at Walgreen's, and then walking home.
Oh, let me tell you about Walgreen's.
See, it's the new year computer and insurance screw up time.
Every year, the first week of the new year, Walgreen's computers cannot process insurance claims for some reason.
Their system totally sucks.
Their computer system kicks out every single patient they have on the first of the year, so every person who comes to get a prescription filled, has to go through the whole entering of insurance info, phone numbers, addresses, and all of that other crap, all over again.
So after going to the doctors and getting back to my side of town and handing over my script, I waited at Walgreen's for over 2 hours while they waited on a massively huge line of customers who came in for scripts and had the same insurance issues as last year.
But at least we finally made it home, and I'm taking a little rest before I begin putting the elliptical together.
Later days.
