Well as some of you know I have been diagnosed with severe back problems. I have 3 bulging and herniated discs in my spine along with degenerative disc disease. I haven't had health insurance since October so needless to say I'm in pain constantly.
Work has been really stressful lately due to the fact that we just lost 9 Best Buys and a Value City Furniture so my wife's hours have been cut in half so that screws us. My family is involved with the business and I basically cut my cousin's throat and was promoted to his position. We lost about $140,000 a year in business in less than two months.
I am a co-owner of a commercial cleaning business and unfortunately we are at the mercy of our contractors. When the companies pay their invoices, we get our money. I have four employees working for me and most of them are or were thugs at one point. Great guys but you don't mess with their money (for a good reason).
Anyway I have been having chest pains recently so I decided to go to the emergency room to get checked out. The receptionist in the ER took my blood pressure and rushed me in to see a doctor because it was 168/120. I was basically diagnosed with hypertension stage 2. I was released with a shot in my chest and two scripts for vicodin and prednisone.
But anyway I'm just trying to take it easy do what I can do. I have scrub and recoats at all of my Walgreens (four of them) this week Tuesday through Friday nights as well as a full store carpet extraction on Saturday night at Babies R Us and a strip and wax at the same store on Monday night. I'll have around 60 hours just in extra work this week. But unfortunately I work for salary. But anyway, I just figured that I'd update you guys on my condition and keep you informed.
I dont know you, but i appreciate the fact that you didnt stop what you were doing and give up. Best of luck to you and your health!
