I've done it! Well, almost!

I did my last day at the MS Research Project today. I was supposed to finish up tomorrow but because of the car accident I was in, sitting for extended periods of time hurts my back more than walking, standing with intermittent periods of sitting.

Anyway, I got a print out of my hours from there and it totals 177.38 hours. That combined with the hours I have worked at my ward position back-to-work program, and the hours that I will do there between now and November 30th, I have met my 368 hours requirement to renew my license for 2009! In fact by the end of November I will have exceeded that amount and will have 375.88 hours.

The car accident I was in on October 24th has been making this a challenge for me because until then I was 100% pain free and now I'm having to work with back pain. But between ice packs (which I carry around with me to work), Robaxacin, Ibuprofen, the chiropractor and rest periods, not to mention heat from the shower and my water bed, I have been able to manage on the ward pretty well.

Pending no disaster or sick time, I will have a total of 523.13 hours by the end of December. 155.13 hours more than what I need!!

So please keep those TSC vibes coming. I'm on the home stretch!

Great news!

Congratulations, that is fantastic!!! I hope your back can rest a bit more now from not having to sit down all day

I have 4 days off after tomorrow, so that will be a big help. I'll go to the chiropractor tomorrow and then again on Monday morning. Then again Wednesday and Friday before I go to work (I work evenings next week). So that rest will be good.

I'm dead set on getting back to work and back on the payroll that nothing short of a national disaster is going to stop me!

Congrats on getting in the required hours despite your newly injured back.

That's fantastic

Thanks!

Today my chiropractor said "You sure have drive!" I told him that it's more like tunnel vision! I only see one thing in front of me right now and that's my job, and I have blinders on for everything else!

You're doing great!! Keep pluggin away, it will all be worth it

That is great news. you have worked very hard to get your life back. Some more quick healing vibes
