Sorry so long without an update. I haven't been doing too well lately. I think that not sleeping well for several weeks is finally catching up with me.

My body is sore all over. I think I've also picked up a nice case of depression to go with my back/leg pain. YAY! sigh.

I don't know what is going on with me. Some days I actually felt better then BOOM, I am hurting again. I am going back to the my doctor on Wednesday to see what he would suggest. I have been doing a lot of online research and the sugery has about a 90% success rate. I like them odds. I really hope he can give me something to help me relax at night. My tossing and turning is making life difficult for Michael and Stubby too. As I sit here typing this I have almost constant muscle spasms in my lower calf.

I broke up with the accupuncturist today on the phone. I wasn't comfortable doing it in the office, so like the wimp I am I went ahead and let her set up the appointment for Saturday morning. Well today I called and cancelled it.

I have been wondering how much it was really helping. Not to mention $30 a pop is getting expensive! She has been asking about using the insurance to cover the cost and while I like the idea of paying less (okay it would only be $5.00 less per visit the way I see it) but she wants to do things the wrong way. See I have a $750.00 deductible for this kind of service. She offered to send in fake invoices saying I had paid out of pocket for these costs and then when the insurance starts paying up, she will bill them for additional amounts to pay for my $25.00 out of pocket copay.

Sorry, that $5.00 isn't worth going to jail or being without medical coverage or whatever they do to punish you for that kind of fraud.

I still have respect for her, it's obvious from her office and her demeanor that she isn't living large, she has a one room office with curtains up, in a really bad, *ghetto* office. I don't think she would abuse the system excessively and I think she is trying to help me out as well, but I don't like being sneaky like that.

Other than that nothing new. Tonight is my last class of water aerobics, well last for the month. I am signing up tonight for the Nov/Dec classes.
