"Forgiving What You Can't Forget"
I can barely move my left hand. I am so stiff and sore in the morning. I don't even want to move. The first thing I do is take my thyroid pill, then wait 30 minutes and take my blood sugar. If my blood sugar is in range, I have a light breakfast and take two Tramadol and one Tylenol. Usually I lie back down for awhile until I feel better.
Today I spent a lot of time napping because I didn't feel well. I wanted to get a stew in the crockpot this morning and was giving myself a few more minutes on the recliner when Tom jumped up to join me, so I stayed longer. Yes, I am afraid I have furalysis.
I finally tried to get up and not disturb Tom. Not so. As soon as I got up he got up and followed me into the bedroom. I gave him a "rub down" and a treat and he scooted outside.
I went into the kitchen and put the stew on and fielded calls from James, who on his way home from Matt Hipps' was doing some shopping at Walmart for me. There were 12 items on my list.
First call, what's Johnsonville Beddar? Next call, I can't find the Spray n Wash. There is no J8 aisle. I said: "It's in the back of the store on the detergent aisle which is near the catfood. "I'll come back tomorrow"! James has the Walmart app and can look up where things are but if he doesn't find what he wants right away he gets impatient.
When James gets home he seems a little stressed and rattled. I say, "See, grocery shopping isn't as fun or easy as you thought."
James napped with Tom after his exhausting shopping spress.
This afternoon I was so miserable that I called AARA and asked if I could get a couple of cortisone shots in my arms when I come in for my infusion appointment on Wednesday. I told the guy taking the message, no one is in the office today because it is Memorial Day, that I lived 200 miles away and I would appreciate it if they could do something for me on either Wednesday or Thursday.
A little while later I got a text from Walmart saying my prescription was ready. I presumed this was a prescription for Prednisone which they have called in for me before. I ask James if we can go into town and get my prescription. I told him we need to get there before 6 before today is a holiday. I actually looked online and it said the pharmacy was open until 7. I didn't want to tell James because he has a tendency to wait until the last minute. We got there right at 6 o'clock. The guy behind the counter was closing up and would not give James my prescription. James said, it says online that you are open until 7. I guess he looked it up too. They guy said, "it's a holiday and we decided to close early." That was it.
We were both a little put out and frustrated but what could we do. James had an appointment in the morning at 7:30 to get the oil changed in his truck. At 9 a.m. I am going to Globe with Janna Grombach and her mom Patsy Tedder. James will pickup the prescription at 9 and meet us on the road somewhere. That's the best we can do.
James and I both enjoyed the stew we had for dinner.
