I can’t sleep.  I should be more tired.  I only got like 4 maybe 5 hours of sleep on Sunday.

I hurt pretty bad from the drive.  My neck is burning.  My meds usually make me tired along with grogginess in the morning.  I’m happy they aren’t giving me indigestion like usual.  I took them a few hours ago, hopefully it won’t be as difficult to wake up in several hours.  I’m also a bit constipated and bloated feeling which sucks.  Hurray for the TMI at 2am!

Well anyways, what else to write…

I have an appointment today with my PTP, and I already got my notes ready for that prepared.  So I should remember easier what needs to be accomplished with him tomarrow(?)/Today.

Later, I should be going out to dinner with a friend, and friends, to some Mongolian BBQ place.  Should be tasty.

It’s nice having some variety.

For breakfast/lunch today(sunday) I ate Vietnamese food at Pho 99.  I had the Bun Thom Tit Nuong, and fresh squeezed lemonade, and also got a beef sandwhich to go.  They’re even better for late lunch.  Then later ordered a pzone from pizzaslut, which was disgusting, and good, so much for that, at least it was cheap. <$10

and a few lyrics for rhyming sake.

time to rest my weary head again, perhaps i will fall asleep.

even when resting on a cloud, my laptop is really loud
what the fuck you say, the internet here is gay.

packet traces sent in tubes, broken bits, and IT boobs.

lost reception, packets denied, where’d they go, you can’t hide.

lurking on the copper line, my laptop sniffs so fine.

capturing your bits, while your browsing some tits.

I see where you go, and read your flow…

of information.  No, I’m not spying.

quickie update

2007.02.13 – 7:24 pm PST

I’ve been in California since Saturday night. Had the opportunity to see and hangout with some friends I haven’t seen in a while.
The doctors appointment I had on Monday went great. He wrote a STAT(not status) report, and I picked it up today, for my Valentines (Court) Date. His report was very good.
I went to bed last night feeling slightly under the weather, and this morning, woke up feeling like death.
That said this trip is going well so far. I have another appointment next month with the good Doctor, and treatment is in my future.
I would probably be more ecstatic about all this if I didnt have a cold/sinus thing going on. But I generally am susceptible to getting colds. I was hoping to hangout more with people, but I don’t feel that possibly getting anyone sick is a good thing.

I’ve also had my fill of sushi, and Vietnamese food. I went to this sushi place with my father, and an old work friend of his called Kura, in Costa Mesa, it was pretty neat environment, it has a rotating sushi bar, which revolves around the entire restaurant. I’ve also eaten a couple times at one of my favorite Pho places in Costa Mesa, Pho 99, that I eat at whenever I’m in town because one of the people who work there recognizes me each time, which you do not see very often in employees working in the food industry.

ok, why does a “quickie” update, usually turn into a longer post? I had just a few thoughts I wanted to jot down, but felt compelled to write a little bit more.

2 nights, and ~1 day left in California, then the trek back home. Maybe another post or two before I leave…

I am beat down tired, worn out, and hurting really badly.

2007.01.08 – 7:12 pm PST

the title says it all about how i feel to a degree.
i kept a pretty detailed written log of todays journey. some of which i’ll go into here.
my stay in California is extended one more day.
yet another thing has popped up that SCIF did not approve, and did not get accomplished the last time I was here in California.
lessons learned.
it’s cheaper to rent a car for 7 days, than it is 5 days, and 4 days, and only slightly more expensive than 1 day/20 hours, atleast with the current daily base rate I got. $69/day.
If I would have gotten the 7 day rental it would be $273 with tax. Whereas the 4 day will be $343 with tax. So that’s how the rental car business makes money.
I have to go down to the front desk tomorrow before 11 am to extend my hotel.

i’ve been running around since 10 am. Sat in the doctor’s office for over 2 1/2 hours before being seen by the Nurse, and then Physicians Assistant, then by the Doctor.
Had major confusion about the Doctors offer to take over my case. later resolved to he can’t, but his consult, and referrals are still OK to my knowledge.
I need to make some calls tomorrow, to figure out where I’m going for the Neuro consult, and also provide my Primary QME with the referral info provided by the Pain Management Doctor who I saw earlier today.
At this moment in time, the only reason, I’ve come to California is to have the Range of Motion testing, I got an unexpected referral, and also again the Neuro Consult, which is up in the air, as to whether or not it will get completed in this trip.
I need to speak with my Primary QME.
tomorrow my sister and nephew are flying to AZ.
I would rather not leave, and get more accomplished, and also save on the rental car as a bonus, but likely things will fall through.

oh yeah, i couldn’t get the time with the Psych today, but I did provide him, or at least the receptionist with the information and letters I received from my old/former Flashcom workers.
I need to write a letter, with regards to all my issues with his report, which there are many.

There has been a lot of confusion in my case, everyday something new, or confusing comes up, and here I am stuck in the middle. I don’t want to be here, I want out, I want to get healthy, and treated, and feel relief. I’m tired, hurting, and in pain everyday. I wish I could see an end in sight, but I cannot. It’s quite depressing. I’m just going to lay here in my hotel room, and try and relax. At least I ate today at a great vietnamese food place PHO 99 on harbour blvd.
maybe later, I’ll get another cup of ramen.

I should lay down now. Did I mention I’ve been up since 5:30 am? I was hoping to maybe have energy to see some friends, but I’m spent. I asked for a 8am wake up call, felt weird, considering I was up, showered, and ate at the fabulous breakfast bar.

Damn the WIFI here sucks, I’ll just write a bit more till it comes up so I can post this. OK so I wrote up the tags, still no wifi… yes, it’s back. quick post it!

reminder again to post pictures, prolly after I get home to AZ and recoup for a few days.
