I saw the spine specialist yesterday. He released all my restrictions, and prescribed a nerve medication. And because my nerve pain is still present, I have to go for another follow-up in six months. This may include an MRI, if I'm still experiencing nerve pain. Apparently there is a chance that scar tissue has developed around my nerves. If this is the case, I might always have nerve pain.
So that's... Crappy. And now I have to go back to work. In a week. The thought of it makes my stomach hurt.
And then there's more stress. I'm applying for jobs. Lots of them. At this point, I'm thinking anything with a set schedule will be better than, or equally as horrible as what I've got now, but the schedule being normal would make up for a whole lot of awful.
Every time I send in an application or my resume, I feel like I'm going to vomit. I don't like change, but it's time. I keep telling myself that, but it doesn't help the sick feeling in my stomach.
One of the jobs I sent my resume in to seems promising. It's an accounts receivable and dispatch with a local shipping company. The good part? I know the family, or at least some of them. They know my grandparents. It's close, and it's only 25 hours a week. Less stress for me, and hopefully something that isn't awful.
I just sent them my resume an hour ago, and I am already hoping they call me for an interview. Ideally, they'd hire me, and I could just use up my vacation at my current job, put in my two weeks, and not ever have to go back.
So... Keep your fingers crossed for me. And let's hope I don't vomit.
