Could today be any worse?  I thought that the Dr. was going to release me today but it was not to be.  I was really looking forward to this horrible nightmare,that most people call the workman's compensation system, to come to an end.  It just doesn't seem to happen . . . first see one Dr. then see another, just so tired of it.  Didn't sleep much last night but in the short amount of time I did I dreamed that my nemesis, AKA Dr. Stagg, walked in the room and handed me what was once my leg (now amputated, obviously) and a piece of paper and said "Your free to resume your life in what ever manner you see fit", handed me my former limb and left the room.  How appropriate.  I feel some days like them removing it would be a relief but as a diabetic it is also my biggest fear.  Working again, now there is a dream that I could get into if only it could be a reality.  I'm a RN and I loved my job for the most part.  I've found myself with to much time on my hands since I haven't worked in over 2 years now.  See I had a small accident due to the negligence of my employer and hurt my knee.  Should have been no big deal except for this small neurological problem I developed called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.  Please don't ask me what it is . . . I'm not exactly sure and unfortunately neither is the medical community.  All they can tell me is that it happens for some unknown reason, they don't completely understand it nor do they completely know how to treat it.  Some people recover . . . some don't.  Even better news, it can advance to other joints including the spine and it can in some cases be fatal.  Hmmmm, well I'm having a hard time buying it . . . tired of the whole mess but I guess it could be worse.
