LAST DAY!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF MY SICK LEAVE.

1. MY BACK STILL HURTS
2. MY KNEE HURTS ALL THE TIME
3. I GET BURNING SENSATIONS IN MY THIGH
4. AND MY RIGHT SIDE OF THE BELLY IS SENSITIVE TO TOUCH.
5. I DON'T SLEEP WELL AT ALL

IN OTHER WORDS, I AM NOT BETTER.

MONDAY I AM GOING TO SEE THE DOCTOR FOR AN EXTENTION OF 2 WEEKS.

I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE MONTH SHE TOLD ME I NEEDED.

LAST NIGHT

WAS THE FIRST NIGHT IT WEEKS I GOT ANY REAL SLEEP.
IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS TODAY SINCE I FEEL DOWN THE STAIRS
AND EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY GOOD SLEEP.
10 OR 20 MINUTES AT A TIME THEN WAKING UP IN PAIN.

I STOPPED TAKING PAIN KILLERS A FEW DAYS AGO AND THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE.
THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST I GOT NO SLEEP AT ALL. THE PAIN WAS SO BAD I WAS CRYING DURING THE NIGHT.
I STARTED TAKING THEM AGAIN YESTERDAY AND IT IS BEARABLE AGAIN.
YOU WOULD THINK I'D BE BETTER BY NOW.
I GO FOR X-RAYS TODAY TO CHECK OUT MY KNEE AND BACK TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO MAJOR DAMAGE, SO I TOOK A SLOW AND METHODICAL SHOWER SO I WOULDN'T BE TOO OFFENSIVE TO THE XRAY TECH.

I THINK THE DOCTOR WAS RIGHT IN OFFERING ME A MONTH SICK LEAVE, SO I WILL PROBABLY ASK FOR A PROLOGATION.
I REALLY DON'T THINK I WILL BE READY TO GO BACK NEXT MONDAY.
