I know it could be worse, but I just need to vent!
I went to the Othro doc today. He told me that my shoulder is seperated so far that it won't heal back together. My options are let it stick out of my shoulder, like there's a small rock in my shoulder, or I can have them put a screw through the clavical to hold it down so things will look right (and heal back together).
It still hurts pretty good, but I can move my shoulder pretty well. Vicodin and Ibuprofen have become very good companions.
Shortly after getting that great news (Yes, that was supposed to be sarcastic), my two boys came home from their first day back in school. Our normal routine is as follows:
Get a quick after-school snack.
Do chores:
Son #1 (almost 14)-
Pickup and vaccum own bedroom.
Put laundry in laundry room.
Empty dishwasher and put dirty dishes in it.
Wipe down the kitchen counters.
Vaccum the linolium in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Son #2 (age 11)-
Pickup and vaccum own bedroom.
Put laundry in laundry room.
Vaccum the hall, living room and stairs.
Both -
Start homework.
Dinner
Finish homework
Playtime/computer games only after all chores and homework have been completed.
The chores should only take them 45min or less. After 1.5hrs of asking calmly (and the house looked worse than before they got home), I decided I need to go for a drive, before blowing a cork!
The oldest said they were just so excited about school, they got distracted. Distracted my ass! They didn't give a damn until I told them "I was done" with them and went out the front door! I left for a drive to my local Harley shop (Yeah I know I'm a traitor) to get some cool-off time, so i wouldn't be yelling at them!
The boys called my wifey (at work) and told her that I left, and they didn't know why. She called me to find out the real story. I told her what was happening. I told her I would be home after the bike shop closed. When I got home she grilled me about the happenings. The boys played it like they didn't have anything to do with it. It all just makes me look like an ASS!
So, it's my problem, not theirs. I need to be more sensative to their feeling, but they don't want to listen to me? My wife said I wasn't being fair! FAIR?
What's fair about life? I've been on vacation for the last week. The only things I've really done during my vacation is, take my wife to the San Juan Islands for a weekend, and stay around the house in pain!
Okay docs! You have the next 2 months to do any cutting and repairs on my body, so I can get my rehab started. I will be back out on the road next spring, ready or not!
I'm so pissed at my life right now, I'd rather not be part of it! I'll stick it out, but I'm NOT enjoying it!
And please don't tell me it could be worse. I've been through Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina in '89. I totaled my Busa. I need back surgery again. I'l probably do surgery for the shoulder to get it over with. And my arm and shoulder hurt most of the time. I'm not sure I know what it feels like anymore not be drugged, and be pain free, at the same time.
Oh, did I say that I hate my job? I really do, and it won't do me any good to get another job because I don't like working for somebody else! It just makes me a "High Paid Slave"!
Sorry about the ranting. I feel better now!
