A Depressing Day.....

Today didn't turn out as warm as we were led to believe it would be.  Plus it was overcast and nasty feeling.  It didn't rain, which was the only good thing but it was not a day to plan anything outdoors.

The Beast is still suffering from his fall the other day.  He says his left leg feels numb and he's worried about falling.  I gave him my cane to use since I don't seem to need it right now.  He used it to go to Burger King to use some coupons we got (for our lunch) for the Grand Opening of the Burger King inside our Walmart.    Then, because he's not used to using it, he left it in the car.

He wants me to go with him to the eye doctors on Thursday and I said I would.  We aren't sure what all might be done and how it would affect his vision for driving home.  So I will go with him to make sure he stays safe.  It isn't often that he would ask me.

I slept well last night and woke up around 9am.  It was chilly in the house so I put on a sweatshirt even though it was rather large on me these days.  Since I had a shirt on underneath, it kept me warm enough.  I am still wearing it although I will be putting on warm pajamas in a little while.  The warmest pajamas I own are the ones that my gf Carol sent me a couple months ago.  Those are what I took out of my bin to put on.  I really need to get more of them one day.

Tomorrow, the Beast and I have to go to the proctologists office to get my procedure scheduled.  My surgeon feels I need to find out if I have any polyps in the rest of my colon because of that one that caused the death of part of my colon (non-cancerous).  It kind of pisses me off that I had not been told that anything was found or that it was being checked to see if it was cancerous.  I know that they didn't want me to worry unnecessarily since my recovery was difficult enough.  But, just the dead part of the colon, if it had broken, could have caused peritonitis or sepsis that could have killed me.  That worried me even though it had been taken care of.  The thought scared me.  But I am okay about it all now so don't worry.

But it does make me a little less reluctant to go through this exam even though I hate, hate, hate the liquid I have to drink to clean out my intestines for it.  I haven't done it in years but how awful it was sticks in my mind like it happened last week.  The only thing that makes me feel better about it all is the stuff they give you to help *relax* you puts me out for it.  I just don't know if it will be done in the doctor's office or as outpatient at the hospital but I will find out tomorrow.  Say a little prayer for me, won't you?  I just hope there is nothing that is found.

It's a 30% chance of showers tomorrow so it will probably rain.  I've found that it usually does when it's supposed to be least likely.  It also says we are going to have a high of 78 even with it being mostly cloudy.  Wanna make a bet on how accurate the weather forecast is?  LOL!  

Love you all.  Hope you have some great weather.  Be kind.  Be happy.  ***Hugs***
