I'm having a lot of pain -- enough that I've been outside four hours since the 12th. I keep planning to get things done and instead take narcotics and go to sleep. I'm nowhere near the end of the book for tomorrow, and I don't know if I can go to bookgroup anyway. Don't worry, it's not enough to see the doctor, just email every few days. She ( Read more... )

The thing is that the local people shelter, SERVE, has a regular list of what they need from the grocery store and my grocery had almost all of them on sale this week, so I bought about $70 for them and about $20 for me. By the time that I lifted canned fruit and veggies and the others, and moved them to the back of the van, and found a SERVE ( Read more... )

I was up three hours yesterday because every time I wake up, it's time to take more narcotics. I'm working hard to stay up today. Good thing I don't have anything specific to do this week ( Read more... )

After my last post, I skimmed my flist (which was shorter than I expected -- I'm sort of hoping that again now), did the solitaire, and did some things around the house. At 1:06am, when I was almost in bed, I took my BP and it was 83/44 and then 84/43. I thought about whether I should call the Advice nurse or not, because they would almost ( Read more... )

Last night I watched TV and then read the paper. I got to bed to read the book I'd stopped when I got The Help and realized at 5am that I had to get up at noon to get to HMO imaging on time. So I reset the clock and was just up for a bit, then out. There was a big accident on the other side while I went up our main road -- a work van that had ( Read more... )

I watched the season finale of Make it or Break it last night and then managed to read about a fifth of Sunday's paper before I nodded off too much. I went to bed at 1:30am and tried reading, but I only got two pages done, so I went to sleep at 2am. I left the alarm set at noon, but I woke up partway through the night with lots of pain in my ( Read more... )

Last night I watched TV and read the paper and got to bed to read a bit after 12:30am. I read until 3:30am and came out to have a bagel & cream cheese with hot tea because I was short on calories and protein. I went back in about 4am and got straight to sleep. I got up at noon and checked online to see if the rheumatology nurse had answered my ( Read more... )

My alarm clock takes the feed from the Observatory, so I always change other clocks to match it. It changed the season that way last night, so before I went to bed, I changed almost everything that needed changing. The toaster oven has a weird procedure and I'll have to get the instructions ( Read more... )

When I was online last night, the bottom of my left forearm became so painful that I considered calling Kaiser's advice. I took narcotic when I took that nap, and two when I went to bed, and it feels mostly fine today. I don't know where the pain came from, but the narcotics sure made me sleep today ( Read more... )
