Get this damn thing offa me!

May 26, 2004 By: bio Category: General

Imagine if you will…

Your trapped in a plastic shell with a thin foam pad. You can’t move your body from your hips to your shoulders.

Now, imagine having an itch, or a bead of sweat run down the center of your back, and you’ve no way of scratching or wiping it away.

Next… imagine that you must wear a shirt under this brace, and during the course of the day, you sweat (because the plastic shell doesn’t let the heat out). Now the shirt becomes quite damp, and it begins to wrinkle under the shell. Those wrinkles stick to your skin, causing red marks all along your sides, across your belly, and down your back.

Welcome to my world.

My back brace sucks much butt. Since my wife has returned to work, I’m stuck in this damn thing from 7 am until 6 pm with no chance of getting out of it or having it adjusted. It better be placed perfectly on my body before she leaves or I’m screwed until she gets home.

But there’s hope… I only have to wear it until mid August (oh yeah… July and August ought to be just special! All that heat).

In other news… I’m trying to decide what to do for my youngest son’s birthday. I promised him a better computer and the thought was to give him mine and get myself a new one. After pricing what I want for myself… I think I may just order him a duplicate to what I currently have (AMD XP 2000+, 1GB DDR333, Geforce4 ti 4200 128mb DDR, 2x 20GB RAID1, 1x 60GB, 48x24x48 CD-RW, 52x CD, yadda, yadda, yadda). Of course, I’ll be ordering a better video card (and keeping it for myself).
