Description:
Just summing up where I've been since I last logged in in... November 2008. |
Three and a half years since I logged in here... I didn't realise it had been that long.
So... back then I had gotten a job working in a callcentre, had frequent pains due to what they thought was a back problem, and just generally living life as I could. Over time stress built up... and I figured I'd back out of a few things to get things together.
2009 was a bad year... the pain grew worse, painkillers became ineffective... and eventually I was collapsing in pain during work. The solution: Stronger painkillers!
It took a text description to a vet across the world to suggest an issue several local doctors failed to notice from a description AND examination. All this time I'd been walking around quite literally with my guts falling out of where they're supposed to stay. Surgery follows...
A couple of weeks later a tooth literally explodes... resulting in a weekend of more agony, being half blind in one eye, and needles being jammed into my mouth.
Just as I'm getting back into work after all that, more pain. The surgery on the hernia before was a failure, AND a second one had opened up. Immediately thrown onto a waiting list. A mixture of different painkillers in the meantime. Combined effects of those, the pain, and the stress pretty much caused a total breakdown mentally.
2010: Fired from work due to high sickness (or more precisely, having the audacity to turn up on the days when I wasn't in agony, thus causing more instances as well as a percentage)... go immediately onto incapacity benefits whilst I wait. They finally call and I actually spent my birthday in the hospital recovering.
Since then... been jobhunting, and trying to pick up the pieces. The not being in constant pain is a lot better, and I've been a lot more active since then. Trouble these days is... too much free time and not the money or games to spend it with. Occasional interviews, becoming more frequent, so prospects are good from now on.
On an even more positive note... I've been able to make EF each year, giving me at least one week of the year where I can just throw sanity to the winds and enjoy myself (within reason of course) |
