So much for catching up, huh?

Jo had a follow up appointment with his doctor earlier this week. They had him go in for more blood work and x-ray of his lower back. Since he got “sick” (not just from the pneumonia, but the cold that spawn that monster to begin with), he’s been having sharp pains in his lower back. Usually it occurs when he coughs. Some of you will probably recall that Jo was injured on the job last Summer and underwent extensive physiotherapy for nearly 2 months because of it. What you probably didn’t know is that he was never given an x-ray or anything for that injury, they just rushed him right into physiotherapy. I wasn’t sure about that at first because I questioned whether or not the injury was worse than they “assumed” it was. He could’ve really hurt himself a lot more than what he was already hurt, but I guess that’s what you get when it’s a “company doctor.” Anywho. So his new doctor requested the x-ray. We won’t have those results (blood work and the x-ray) for a few more days, but the doctor always scheduled a CT scan for sometime next month. This whole thing has just been one big roller coaster ride.

To top all of that off, I’ve still not gotten over this cold. I haven’t had much energy at all and I just feel awful, which explains why I haven’t updated. I did manage to get my arse out of bed today and get some things done though. I don’t feel nearly as bad, so hopefully all that catching up I promised earlier in the week (or was that last week?) will get done in the next couple of days.

I have so much to tend to this week, it’s not even funny. Aside from some design work I want to finish (first), I also wanted to finish up and release that free theme I mentioned in a previous entry. I plan to run a new contest in the coming days too, so I’ll need to work on that too. I have a few emails to respond to, so after the design work I’m doing is done, I’ll hop on those. We have some errands to run early tomorrow morning, along with a Wal-Mart run too. We have a few things to pick up and Jo mentioned he wanted to look at some exercise equipment so we can both start getting back in shape - perhaps we’ll price some treadmills or something?

So this is me checking in!
