I apologize for taking so long to update but a LOT has been going on in my corner of the Universe. It all started with my back hurting again. I have this thing called Sciatica. The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs down the spine and down each leg. I have some inflamed tissue and muscles that puts pressure on my sciatic nerve and casues pain. What also hapens is the enlarged muscles push a bone out of place in my pelvic area which casues me to have what is called Short Leg. Meaning one limb is longer than the other. So I have to see a chriopracter regularly and whenever it flares up I have to load up on anti infalmatories(sp) like Ibruprofen and Ice down my back. I know this makes me look SOOOO HOOTTT!! Well this problem has really been flaring up lately and I have been in a lot of pain. Well I had an adjustment on Friday and things were getting better. Then when I came home from work and picking up my son I found my mother on the floor. She had fallen down and couldn't get up. Now if you guys can remember my mom has some pretty serious health problems and I live with her so I can look after her. Well she had a bad day at Dialysis and was not steady on her feet. She fell down and I had to pick her up. While doing that I put my back out of place again. Then she was acting a little funny. I made sure that nothing hurt her and that she could follow my fingers with her eyes and she was could. She said that she was tired so she went to bed, as did I. So Saturday I was in a lot of paing and couldn't really move around. My mom was up and getting about. She seemed to be doing better. But she was having a problem collectiing her thoughts and getting her words together. So later that night she decided that she wanted to go to the Emergency Room so I got myself together and took her. Well the did blood work and a CT scan. After several hours the dismissed her saying that she had a very very minute stroke and that there was nothing they could do for her. That she was so unhealthy normally that being in the hosipital was probably worse for her as she is more prone to infections and such. The Dr.'s told her to go home and rest. So we got home around 6 AM and both went to bed. Then I received a call from a different Dr in the ER around 9:00 AM saying that the Head Radiloligost had a look at the CT and saw evidence to sugest that the she may have had a much more serious stroke and I needed to bring her back in to the ER so they could admit her to the hospital for more tests. NOW....as if that wasn't shitty enough I called into my job at BLOOM the girlie store Friday night because my mom had fallen down and I didn't want to leave her alone. Saturday morning I called my boss at home to tell her that I wasn't coming because my back really hurt and I couldn't get out of bed. I also told her to take me off the schedule for Sunday and Monday. So she calls me back and tells me I need to find a replacement. I never called her back because I was busy dealing with my mother. So she leaves me another message telling me that because I never called her back that she expects me to be at work Sunday morning. Well I had to call in Sunday morning because I was taking my mom back to the ER. Now I called and talked to someone at the store to tell them what was going on and that I wasn't coming in. Later today (Sunday) I get a call from a coworker wanting to know how my mom is doing and to tell me that the manager is saying that I quit. This is totalk bullshit. So I called said manager tonight and she got an adittude with me saying that she assumed I quit because I didn't come into work today and I never found a replacement. Or I didn't return her calls. NOW. She was at home all weekend. I never once talked to her just her machine. I called the store every day to tell them what was going on. I am so pissed off right now I don't know what to do. I told her that I was too busy dealing with my mother having a stroke to be concerned with calling her at home after I already called and spoke to someone at the store. I said to her I never quit. If you choose to fire me than that is another disccussion but I never quit. To which she replied that she would mail me my check and hung up on me.

I have no idea what to do. All I have to say is if you are in the Kansas City area DO NOT shop at Bloom in Crown Center because they are all heartless bastards. Not just for this incident but for many others. I can tolerate meaness to an extent but that is entirely way over the line. I am scared shitless about losing my mother let alone being in pain from my back. These horrible people should be the last thing I have to think about.

I am sorry that this is so long but I am just really upset right now and I don't know what else to do but vent in here. My SG journal is my life saver. It keeps me sane.

I am going to take this one day at a time. Tuesday I am going back to the Chiropracter. But right now I am going to drink and put ice on my back.
