Blood test
Well, I'll be going to get another blood test in a little while. Whilst I'm in the building I will step into Dr. Co's office, next door to the Lab, and drop off a printed copy of the 19 Reasons to stop asking "What else can go wrong?". I did edit out #15 to say that the cellulitis is returning to the right leg, from the knee down to the toes. So far, the left leg is remaining stable and free of any problems. *knock on wood* The reason for dropping it off is that he doesn't come into the office prior to 1 PM, ever! So, Kim, his nurse/receptionist can just give it to him, when he does come in, for him to read and determine if he will take any actions on it. I really need another course of the antibiotics before it gets any worse, and I could really use something for the shingles pain & itching. I'd checked at CVS to ask if they had anything over the counter that could help with the incestant itching and the Russian pharmacist recommended that I request some prescription for it because there isn't any OTC that really helps, but I forget now what the name of it is, so I'll have to step into CVS on the way to the bus stop (it is just across the street - same side), in hopes that she is there today and ask her once again what that stuff was. This time I'll write it down, at the bottom of the print out that I'll be leaving for the doc.
U/P Valtrex is the drug. Time is now 6:45 PM and no call from the doctor's office and there has been no knock on the door from the maintenance man.
Oh, blah, it takes me so long to put myself together to go out in public, so I reckon I'd best get to it. Finish taking my morning meds, do a breathing treatment, brush my hair, make a few smokes for the road, figure out what to wear coordinating it around whatever footwear that I can get to be semi-comfortable with the re-swollen right foot. *insert plenty of obscenities here* I just checked the hourly forecast and the humidity is HIGH with the temperature already climbing towards the 80°'s with a heat index that is slightly higher. *mutters a string of the 'f' word, over and over again, with an occasional damn thrown in for good measure* Honestly, my mood wasn't too awfully bad as I started typing this, but it is now on a rapid downhill slide towards totally foul. The heat is already starting to affect me and I may go Postal on the apartment management if they don't get my A/C fixed in the next day or two. I haven't given in to one of 'those' in quite awhile so it might do me some good to let off some steam. I've been patient long enough, methinks.
Took the bandage off my arm and it's starting to look nasty again, and it hurts. The skin that I salvaged and put back in place has goo seeping from under it, so I gave up and trimmed it off leaving raw meat which I covered in NeoSporin, after carefully cleansing it with "Band-Aid Cleansing + Infection Protection Foam", which replaces the use of soap & water to clean a wound.
OK, all put together now, so I'll be off.
later...
