Life has become a pain in the butt...literally. I'm now taking some drug that stops the sciatic nerve from firing, Aleve to deal with the inflamed nerve, another drug (antibiotic) because the catscan on my plugged ear showed its caused by a sinus infection, and I'm mad at Skip The Dishes.
The sciatica is seriously affecting my life because I can hardly walk because of the pain in my leg. I've had sciatica before but it's never affected my leg, just a stabbing pain in the butt cheek, and it only used to last a few days. I hate taking drugs but without the one to stop the nerve from firing and the Aleve, I can barely walk a few steps.
And then the splugged ear that I've had since getting a terrible cold in December of 2018. I saw an ear specialist last year and had a tube surgically placed in my ear and that was supposed to clear it. It didn't and the tube is still in there. I saw a different ear specialist a few weeks ago who made arrangements for me to have a catscan on my ear and it was found out that I've had a sinus infection all this time so now I'm on an antibiotic.
Probably the episodes that made me even angrier were the ones I had this week with Skip The Dishes. I placed my order, watched the arrival time, and then went down to the lobby to meet the driver. The driver never came in, only drove back and forth in front of the building trying to phone me that she was here. I called Skip The Dishes who told me that, since I didn't take her phone call (it was to my land line up in my apartment) I wouldn't receive either my dinner or a refund. I blasted them! I did receive the refund.
Now I have a $20 credit with Skip The Dishes so yesterday I tried again and placed my order and waited patiently by the phone for the delivery person. No-one called. I messaged Skip The Dishes and received another credit. I have that same $20 credit but don't know how the heck to receive my order any more.
It's a good thing I don't let adversities like this ruin my day but I do get very tired when things go illogically wrong...like with Skip The Dishes. I just think to myself that somehow I'll get it figured out. As for the drugs, my hope is that I won't have to take them forever but, if I do, I can handle it.
Life can be a pain in the butt at times but there are always good things to offset the bad.
