I know I've been MIA so I wanted to let y'all know what is going on. I went back to work on April 7 like planned and hurt my knee again. It just couldn't handle the stress of all the walking I have to do just to get to my desk PLUS all the walking at work.
I went back to the doctor and it turns out I have some pretty severe nerve damage in my knee. The nerves are just starting to regrow and the pain from that feels like there is a hot poker sitting on my knee. I was given some new pain meds that specifically deal with nerve pain but they keep me knocked out. I'm back on leave of absence from work indefinitely as I can't work on the nerve pain meds and I need to do some physical therapy before I go back to work.
On the other side of my life, DH and I have decided that we want to move out of California. I'm not from here and I don't like it. I want to start a family as apparently my last birthday clicked my biological clock into overdrive but we don't have room in this house. I would prefer to own our home before we have kids but it would cost $360,000 minimum to move into a bare bones 3 bdr/2 bath here in Northern California and So. Cal is worse.
I would move back to Texas right now if he would let me. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to live in Texas but has been amenable to my suggestion that we move to Florida which is where his family lives. I like this idea because it means that we would have help with potential kids and his mom will help us move since she would be so happy we were coming there. I can live with Florida, esp. because it is close to WDW and is far more southern than where I am now.
So now we are in a frenzy of looking for jobs, houses, etc, etc. We are looking to move to the Tampa area but know nothing so we are researching like mad. Unfortunately, I am drugged for large chunks of time so I'm not very helpful. I'm trying to figure out how in heavens name we can move when I can't even walk but I guess I will cross that bridge when we come to it.
So that's where we are and what I've been up to. I'm actually about to pass out again as I took my meds about 20 minutes ago and they are knocking me out. Thanks for listening and let me know if anyone needs anything. I'm on the computer very sporadically as these meds are keeping me pretty loopy.
Thanks for reading. TTFN!
