To-Dos, and MRI
I am declaring myself better, for values of "better" that include still being a bit of a snot-monster but having clear lungs and what feels like close to normal energy levels. The kids are going to be super-disappointed when they come home and it's not all-screens, all-the-time because Mom's sick.
This means a to-do list immediately starts ticking through my brain:
* Set up 4th of July party.
* Clean (house is trashed after a 3-day weekend and me doing very little since I got sick). Focus on the kitchen today, I think, because that's the space that needs to be better for a) stove installation, b) 4th of July party, and c) general livability.
* Write. Because WRITING is my priority, damn it. Which means it should come first
* ...and don't I have rather a lot of writing-related emails and tasks that are urgent or overdue (but not actually writing)?
* Figure out what's for dinner. We have an induction plate right now, which is SO much better, but food still requires even more planning than normal.
* Phone calls. Crap. So many phone calls. Need to schedule regular dentist appointments, garage door repair. Blech.
* Bills? Wait, was I supposed to pay bills recently ... but didn't? Urk. Need to investigate.
A few weeks ago, I walked around a corner and my left knee went all wibbly for a bit and then I had a swollen knee that I couldn't straighten fully for a couple of weeks. Anyone who's had knee injuries will recognize this as being a danger sign.
So today I got slid into the Tight Loud Machine at the hospital! My MRI appointment was postponed a week because I was getting sick, but now that I'm getting better AND I have a negative covid test, I went. I do not like MRIs. The last ten minutes, I'd been stuck in one position so long that things started to hurt. My iffy shoulder started to throb. My hairband was digging into my skull.
Glad that's over and I got hospital Panera as a reward. I'm looking forward to an inside look at my bad knee. It's given me fits ever since my ACL tear and knee surgery (over 10 years ago), so an updated status report will be good.
