Getting a Lift.

Yesterday I went to the New England Folk Festival because my chorus had a session there. I saw an old friend there which was great! When we got to the room where our session was, I realized it was up on a platform I couldn't get up on! Luckily two good looking men helped to lift me up and down which I didn't mind at all! I've had people have to lift me up into or out of their trucks and vans. If you really want to do something, sometimes that is the only way to go. I have to get off now, this e-mailing and websurfing and typing on the keyboard is killing my neck and irritating the pinched nerve to my arm. (Bummer really!) In my semi retirement I can't stay on long, depriving me of times when I could be playing games or surfing instead of feeling bored or lonely. I go to an Ortho surgeon on Wed. for a second opinion about my bad neck. Both my physiatrists feel I need surgery, and referred me. My arm is worse now--it hurts like hell easily now.

P.S. Still sober!

I have now passed 6 months without a drink. The obsession to drink has been lifted, and I don't want it to return. I need to be grateful a day at a time.

Discrimination Heaing

Let's see, I am not sure when I last put in an appearance here. Things have been relatively calm for me, so I guess that is why. The biggest thing is that I heard on my disability discrimination case (against my former supervisor), that the former company wants to go to mediation with me. I agreed to that. The attorney who called me said they wanted to do it by the end of April. I am too nervous about it to be excited. I don't have a date yet. I can't believe it is going to happen. You mean to tell me that I filed a discrimination complaint and someone is actually recognizes it and wants to compensate me? Unbelievable. However, whatever they decide will not be enough to compensate for the pain that I felt, emotionally, and for having to leave the people and clients I worked with. It will be an interesting hearing. I hope they don't bring my former supervisor with them. I do not want to see her.
