>It’s Still Morning

Still in my jammies, in a total fog, just wanting to go back to sleep. But my homemaker will be here in about an hour, I have to go back to the doctor’s to have more blood taken, and then to the hospital for the x-ray. Noooooooooo. Can’t I please just go back to bed? Apparently not.

This has been the month from hell. Well, not hell maybe, but it hasn’t been pleasant. Tired. So tired, all the time. Pain and more pain. I want to be functional again. I want my body to work. I want to stop whining. I feel like I’ve done nothing but whine the whole time. I hate whining. Where is my positive attitude? Vacationing in Florida maybe? I don’t know. It’s just not here when I need it.

Get up, get dressed, get moving. Just DO it, darn it!! Right. That’s working out for me. NOT!

Mine, that is. Saw him today. Getting a new med. I really hope it helps. I am so tired of feeling terrible. My thyroid numbers have been borderline for a long time, but when I wanted to pursue it, I was dismissed every time. This time, this doctor agreed that a trial of meds for it might be worth it. If it doesn’t help, at least I will have eliminated one possibility.

I’m also getting my knee x-rayed. He thinks it’s just arthritis, nothing major, but it has been making my whole leg hurt and walking is really problematic. I said maybe I need a cane, but he said no. Fine with me.

I like my doctor a lot. He takes time to listen to me, and to explain things and the reasons for different choices, different meds. It’s a good thing.

After, I had a lovely dinner and playing on laptop sessions at my friend Tess’s. She and her husband are getting over a cold, but I rarely get colds, so I’m not worrying. Besides, it was a really good dinner.

Oh, I canceled my cable and returned the box and remote today. I hate tv. I used to be addicted. Hmmm. That’s all.
