UP AND DOWN!!!

Rotator cuffImage via Wikipedia
Well I have been up and down all night. My shoulder is killing me right now but I can't take any pain medication because it is not time. You see I went to the doctor the other day because the rotator cuff that got hurt a few years back popped and I have been in a lot of pain. Well all I need is a cortisone shot and I will be straight. Well the Physicians assistant I got stuck with says, " Well we need to do an MRI and I said No that's a $750 co-pay then he says how about  you going to see a specialist and I said no that's $50 co-pay which that is lunch money for my child and food on my table. You see everything in regards to our insurance went up and now it really sucks. Gas and groceries have gone up and we have bills to pay sooooooooooo you have to pick and choose what you spend your money on. So he puts me on inflammatory medication and I said " Can I take this at work and will it make me sleepy and he says YES you can take it at work and NO it will not make you sleepy." Well I get this medication and how about on the bottle it says DO NOT OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY OR A MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN TAKING THIS MEDICATION. So I can only take this when I am off of work. If this doesn't work then he wants me to take Predisone and everybody is telling me not to take it because it will make me swell up. GREAT. I think I will make an appointment with my regular doctor and get a shot from her. Which is what they should have done from the get go.
Well now I am up blogging, watching Lifetime Movie Network and eating cottage cheese. At least I am not working this weekend and I might just go to the YMCA to do some walking.
