So the last week of my life has been utter chaos.
On Monday I was informed by my employer that a position (I was promised by my manager 7 months ago) had been given to another employee. His job performance is nowhere near what mine is but his previous experience at another company they felt made him more qualified for the position.
I woke up at 6am last Tuesday with a super stiff back and could hardly move. I proceeded to pop some Ibueprofen and lay flat for on back for a couple hours. After laying out for 2 hours I got up and did some stretches, my final stretch was followed by a popping in my back that resulted in one of the most painful experiences in my life I immediately buckled over and couldn't move for about 2 hours. 2 visits to the doctor later I was diagnosed with an acute lumbar strain and told that if I dont start seeing a chiropractor and doing pilates on a regular basis this problem will only continue to worsen. I spent Tues-Thurs laid out in a pain killer and muscle relaxer induced coma.
Thursday night my gf came home and looked like she got hit by a train. After several attempts to get her to tell me what was bothering her she informed that she is 5 weeks pregnant. You know that 85% effective rating they advertise for birth control... Well.. we're officially part of the 15%. I really hadn't planned on being a father yet and quite frankly I'm scared shitless.
Friday night my grandmother called me. She first said she called to inform me that two of my cousins would be in town next week for a short visit and wanted my gf and I to come over dinner Wednesday night. She then informed she has cancer and is dying, she also informed my great grandmother (who's now 91) just broke her back.
Today I returned to work after being cleared to return by my doc I met the guy who got my promotion. After introducing ourselves he asked me if I smoked pot, and if so he wanted to let me know he's got the "connect." To bad I gave that sh*t up because my new boss has the good stuff apparently. After spending an hour here at the office I recieved a call from my mother who was crying hysterically. Our family dog of 15 years has cancer that's slowly eating away at her and is going to be put down this evening.
F*CK! I think I might just take up my new boss on his proposition for the good stuff.
Like they say when it rains it pours. I'm hoping from here things can only get better. On a positive note it's not me with cancer or a broken back but man it sure does suck to have to see my family members go through this shit.
Nothing a night out with my buddy Jack Daniels can't help. :swear
:swear
Sorry for the rant but with everything going on this is the only place I can vent right now.
