Honestly, this should not have surprised me at all.

I am once again being failed by my pain management clinic, who for the second month in a row sees fit to drop my Fioricet usage from once per day if needed to five days in a month “because you could be getting medication overuse headache” even though that has repeatedly been ruled out in my medical files over the course of the several years that we have failed to do this song and dance. So I guess the alternative to that is me being in pain for extended periods of time, wishing that migraine patients (I have the diagnosis, you’ve seen the inside of my head through MRI scan because that was how you found out I have a brain tumor) were taken as seriously as patients who present to the medical profession for other pain-related reasons.

I have a functioning chair now, thank goodness!

I didn’t know that we had managed to amass a whole bunch of Steam point with years worth of purchases, so I went ahead and used some of those. If only you could use them to buy more games, though… I had amassed a lot of them over the years making purchases for Bub, and I didn’t stop to think about using them until I read an article that mentioned them and then I was like “ah, maybe I should check”. Sure enough…

I’m still scouting out MMOs that Bub might enjoy playing with me and have narrowed down the list a little.

So this shouldn’t take too terribly long.

I decided to get a replacement chair rather than attempting to have the chair that… broke get fixed, especially because I don’t want to run the risk of it breaking again or something happening while my son (Bub) is sitting on the chair. Apparently that will be here in a few days. In the meantime, I’m using a spare kitchen table chair to have something to sit in until that arrives and can be put together. Someone that I know in person thinks that they can actually fix the chair that broke, but I’m not going to bank on that given how it broke and be out a computer chair when I can be proactive, purchase one now and have it arrive at the house in a few days, and at worst only have one computer chair for us to use (rather than none of them).

I’m also thinking of getting another MMO for Bub since he seems to like them so much. I’ve been researching.

Another one bites the dust… well, again.

The gaming chair that I got us several months ago broke for the second time this morning when the shaft that goes into the wheel well actually… bent for some strange reason. I am still not sure what caused that.

The first time, a single wheel-well broke. You know, one of the things that contains the wheels? Part of that broke. I was able to replace that, finding compatible parts for that online… but if it comes to continually fixing this chair, and spending more money fixing this chair than I would spend getting a comparable, new one, I know exactly what I am going to do. Plus, I don’t want to have to figure out the hard way if this chair is going to break down again or in a worse way. As it was, the second break in the chair made it so that the chair could not support itself with no one sitting in it. One of the perks of Amazon Prime, along with the video selection that we now have, is going to be this chair put on two-day tap. I definitely do not mind this, heh.
