So, I was supposed to be on the rig until next Tuesday. However, due to some prolonged day of activity other than drilling on the rig, it was recently suggested by a coworker that I leave early so I can see a doctor sooner rather than later. I brought this suggestion up to my cell manager and manager and they were both pretty positive about it, so, new onward with the new plan! I am now flying out tomorrow morning to and I am going to be picked up by the work-related injury people who are taking me to see whatever doctor they use. Honestly, I don't care where I go. I just want to get better. Fast. Or at least faster than I am now. This whole, "I feel horrible and am in pain" thing is mentally and emotionally wearing me down. I have a difficult time building up enthusiasm for anything. Adam says I alway sound sad, which is no good. I want to sound happy and enthusiastic about life! I want to be excited about the new adventures, not wondering how or if I will be able to physically handle them. I want to stop dreading waking up every morning because I don't know how much pain I will be every time.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow and a little scared at the same time. Excited to see what the doctor says is wrong, and what I can do to fix it. Scared the work-related injury people will be mean to me because I was injured at work. I will not have slept in about 17 or 18 hours by the time they pick me up, so they will have a tempestuous version of me to deal with!
Wish me luck and hope it is a measely thing, fixed by rest and muscle relaxants.
More updates soon.
