I have to apologize to the MAGA morons, because it was a mistake my DD and I made in applying for a home aide. We accidentally applied for nursing home care, and when we realized and withdrew that, it cancelled Mass Health altogether. So I had to reapply,but did it over the phone so was pretty easy. Will be covered again in about three weeks, I was told. So I guess I can’t blame the orange nazi for this. Oh, well. 🙂 But let me tell you, and paperwork you have to do when you are old and or disabled or whatever is unbelievably confusing. They asked us the same questions several different times in the paper work, each one worded slightly differently. Trying to trip us up? It worked. LOL
Just found out I am no longer eligible for Mass Health. No idea why, except I was told this was another of the orange traitor’s things. Need to call tomorrow and see if this was a mistake, but I don’t think so. Now what? I cannot afford all the copays, all the extras. I will have to stop getting health care, I guess. Thank you again, MAGA morons. I, and thousands like me, mean nothing to you, I guess. I can only hope that you and your MAGA loved ones lose everything, too.
Yes, I got it. Pretty sure it’s from the occupational therapist, as none of the health care people mask, even though I do. She even offered to come for another appointment while I was actively positive. Sheesh! Took the paxlovid and am still taking tylenol and mucinex. Very tired, but not much coughing or anything. Unlike last time I was sick. Did not know about covid then, but pretty sure that’s what I had. So I have been resting, trying to eat three meals to keep up strength on advice of doctor. Ready meals, Saffron Road and Deep asian frozen meals, which are quite nice, oatmeal, ensure. All the good stuff that does not need me to do more than open a box and shove contents into zapper or toaster oven. Yay.
Homemaker back today, too. She works in our local hospital, too, so is well versed in precautions, but I did not have her come while I was still positive. Do not want to pass it on the anyone else.
Finally getting some sunny, windows open days, after day following day of gray, gray, gray. We’d better have a butt load of flowers in May, I’m telling you, after so many rainy days.
Have been feeling a little anxious for whatever reason, and last night I dreamed I was having an autistic meltdown (I have Asperger’s, not PC I know, but hey). I am lucky to not be personally affected at the moment by all the shit that is going down, but my DD in New Mexico, who had her father’s Italian olive skin, is quite worried about being stopped by ICE, as is happening to a lot of people where she is. Scary times, and I will never forgive or make allowances for the f-ing morons who voted for this.
One of my favorite months. My birth month, too, but April showers bring May flowers, and
It’s a beautiful, if chilly, sunshiny day. I have my last (I think) OT today. Done with health aide, done with PT, done with nurse. Still get tired, still get a bit out of breath here and there, still with the pain, which is the one constant in my life. There is always pain. But things are looking up, I found a new bowl which is better than the old bowl that disappeared. How do things just vanish? Glass bowls are great for zapping things, like party mix, or for making four bean salad in, and a lot of other uses where I just prefer glass. I had that other bowl for decades, literally, and was really upset when I realized it no longer lived here. Did it run away from home? Little stick with hanky with it’s meager possessions in it over it’s shoulder.
That’s the new bowl. No picture of the old bowl. Oh, just had OT. She recommended I ask my Primary Care about seeing an orthopedist. More fun in store for Jean. Yay. But my arms don’t work well, and it’s the PMR or it’s some kind of impingement or it’s any number of things that could be wrong. One thing about having more that one issue is that you can never really be sure exactly which one is causing the particular problem. Okay. Done for now. Trying to post more. I was not in great shape for a while there and did not have much to say except ‘I am so over pain and fatigue and all this crap.’ Better now.
