me.
i'm brooke. a short, fatish, bisexual, feminist, pacifist, very-liberal activist. i have 4 cats. and 2 computers, 2 kayaks, 1 masters degree, multiple backpacks, and way too many books.
i live in the most beautiful eugene, oregon. i'm currently disabled due to treatment resistant severe depression. i've been blogging since election day of 2000.
i'm born and raised in the mountains of southwestern virginia. i could join the daughters of the american revolution, i don't think they'd like me cause i hear they like to throw tea parties instead of rallies and revolutions.

Thursday, June 12
its been a long last few days. dad came and cleaned. a lot. bought me a bunch of stuff for the apartment, including a really nice, purple, clothes hamper-- a wooden rack and purple bag that turns into a laundry bag. the little things make me excited :). he also got me a step stool, so i now have access to the cabinets above the kitchen counter. amazing how much storage space is up there! we went to the hotsprings, which was nice. we bonded some, we argued some. it was nice to have him here, sometimes i wish i lived closer.
but the big thing has been my back. the irritation has gotten really intensely bad. dad worked on it when he got here, didn't help. i ended up calling my doc to get a prescription and they called in vicodin. didn't touch it. the heating pad didn't help either. nor did the ice. nor did the theraputic touch or the energy work. on tuesday my pinkie and ring finger got tingly and numb. then my doc has been out sick all week. i ended up going to the urgent care clinic where i spent all of 2-3 minutes with a doctor. he prescribed percoset. told me that 1/2 would put the pain away. 2 doesn't. then i tried a muscle relaxer, only made my skin super sensitive. today (thurs) i went to a chiropractor. he did say that my spine was all out of alignment. i'm still in pain, but i think its lessened. i'm not sure. it comes in waves. i crashed after the chiropractor's appt. i've popped 2 percoset.. we'll see. my doc's receptionist said that if she's in tommorrow she'll work me in. at this point i just want some relief from the pain.
in other news, i'm donating 2 loaves of homemade bread to the lane co. bill of rights defense committee silent auction and 3 hours of website consulting. now i just need to get in and start reading. i've been in so much pain i've not been able to sit in front of a computer and read. i also connected with my friend m and hopefully we'll go to a movie soon and then i ran into someone that i've been hoping to connect with and soon we'll get together. *and* i've been invited to a social club that i've been wanting to be a part of! and finally, today one of the stray cats that is really shy played with my fingers :)
on that note, i'm outta here. the percoset is kicking in.
