I had an appointment Friday with the rheumatologist and she gave me a shot of cortisol in my left shoulder because I could barely move that arm. She told me not to lift anything heavy for three days (which is why I didn't go get groceries today), but I started having problems moving it at 2.5 days. She noticed I'd had trouble finding words twice ( Read more... )

Earlier this week, the computer wouldn't stop. I looked all over for something that might work, other than unplugging, and when I didn't find anything else, unplugged. It didn't want to start; it put a cursor up left, but nothing reasonable worked there. Finally Thursday I managed to get the Restore to come up before the cursor and spent most of ( Read more... )

I did get out with the trash & recycling and then brought groceries home on Wednesday. My sleeping schedule has been a bit odd since -- I woke up at 6am today, which is actually a bit long since I went to sleep at 7pm ( Read more... )

I've been mostly home with a lot of narcotics for an extended weekend. I went to get labs today, expecting to get groceries afterward, but I couldn't walk well enough out of the clinic. I left the bags & list in the van. When I got home, I had to sleep for three hours, but at least I don't have to be anywhere any time tomorrow. I just went out ( Read more... )

I did go out to get my hair trimmed on Friday, but I did it without going to bed Thursday so I slept as soon as I got home. I've been home the rest of the time -- I'm having a lot of pain from my right hip down to my knee -- and I've been sleeping a lot, too. I'm still going to try to go to the grocery today ( Read more... )

I had hot flashes all night. When I got up at 4pm, I noticed that the "varnish" is completely gone ( Read more... )

The FDA is not doing well at testing medical devices before they're okayed to be used.

Also medical, the WashPost's Health & Science section was all about sleep this week.

I was asleep at 9am when my phone rang: it was a Code Red recording from the city telling me that a hotel that's mostly used by people close to homelessness had an "incident" and that the roads around it, including a major one, were blocked. The incident turned out to be a mentally ill man who had run into one of the rooms when the police tried ( Read more... )

No DVD later, but I did the rest of it. I had something odd happen during the night, and I'm pretty sure I was awake. Spirit came down to the bed and woke me up. She was walking back and forth, like she does out here when she wants me to pet her. The other two cats were not on the bed, so I didn't turn the light on or talk -- I thought Junie ( Read more... )

When I got offline yesterday, I decided I should take the DVD to the post office (73F) and pick up Monday's mail. But as I went, I thought that maybe I hadn't picked up Friday's and Saturday's mail, too. Indeed, going by the layers, I hadn't. I'll have to be better than that. I did read the paper and read in bed, then turn the light off at 2: ( Read more... )
