Monday Is The Day For Me...

Question

Well I have my gallbladder surgey tomorrow and start online college Monday. What else can I ask for? Oh wait forgot to mention as some of you might know I am laid-off IT person working in a position I "retired" from years ago because of my SC'd issues. Well good news is, today I had a Regional Vice President of a huge corporation contact me about a possible IT job here in Florida (about 45-1hr from my house). Well if this doesn't take the cake. First they find out exactly what is causing a lot of issues with my blood pressure rising and me having these weird attacks, then I start college on Monday paid for by the VA with subsitence allowance and I might be starting a new job back in IT sometime soon.

Whenever life itself gets you down and you feel you are at the end of your rope I know God makes a way for you. I don't care who you are he will make a way. I feel what going through was for a reason and He is the only one who knows why.

God Bless,

rpowell

Maybe me and JBasser can hook up on a bass fishing trip if he moves down here sometime soon.....I would enjoy fishing once again like I use to, I just have to purchase new gear....

Well I awoke 2:30 am in the morning and I was hurting but right now I feel fine. Just sore like I did 200 situps yesterday. It also seems that the gallbladder issues were masking my cervical herniation issues. My arms are in more pain today than ever. Does this happen?

Yep I can't wait to start and hopefully on Thursday after I talk with a corporate VP I will have a good job back in IT. Wish me luck on landing that position.

How long did they tell you to take it easy? Did they go in through your belly buttom or did they make an incision? If they made an incision it is going to take a little time to be 100% again. What kind of pain meds did they give you? After they operated on you you may have been in position that aggravated your neck. How bad is your herniation? Do you have persistent numbness. I have this cramp in my upper back and at the base of my neck that travels down my arm a bit. I notice that typing bothers me but I type anyway.

I am out of work until I see Doctor on Thursday morning. Yea I know what you mean but I don't want to lay around either which is bad for you. Got to move just a little up and down a little. The college is online so sitting here will be the easy part...

Usually arms and shoulders - gas leaving your body.

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.
