The Manic Mechanic

No, this post should not be in the process of being created at my usual place here in the midst of All That Is Mayhem. Jeff and I should be at the Rob Halford/Ozzy Osborne show in Baltimore. Instead, my body has once again decided to heap huge quantities of kibosh on just about all of our plans. Not only was tonight's much needed diversion axed, but our trip to see Penn State play their last game was dropped as well. I can barely walk ten feet without a lot of pain, my right hip and knee constantly give me a world of hurt, and the firestorm of nerve glitches have officially begun to drive me crazy, if simply from the absolute lack of sleep which said static gives to me. More wasted money, more intense frustration aimed at my worthless body which thwarts every attempt at medical repairs. I can't take much more of this before I will saw my own legs off.

We had to stay an additional day in PA, we got home today at around 1pm or so. I had hoped for a chance at a little nap prior to the show, but no sooner we get home and start unpacking the car, the roofer shows up ready to install the guttering and downspouts. I had to hitch up and move the trailer again, I stayed out of everyone's hair but they got me involved anyway, so no rest. My insides have been a mess for days now with all the rich and oh-so-good food presented by the long holiday weekend, but my body has not yet adjusted to even half a normal portion. So, yet another perfect storm of health hell kicks my ass, wastes our money and pisses me off. The only good thing about today is that the roof project is now 100% complete, and just in time for some pretty severe weather over the next couple days to test it but good.

I am hoping this week will get some input from doctors as to why things are going bad faster than the good. Despite my attempts at getting rest, I'll soon be needing that cane again, or worst.
