I am sitting here with my list in front of me of the things I have to get done tomorrow. It's mostly things that had to wait until the week started because they involved contacting doctors. *Sigh*
I have to contact both my vascular doctor plus the gastroenterologist. I have questions for both AND I need new prescriptions from the gastro doctor. I am almost totally out of the medication for my IBS-D and I don't dare go without that! I am hoping he might suggest one that requires less pills. The one I have now requires I take a pill four times a day. That is a real P-I-T-A! I take a shitload of pills as it is.
I also have clothes that need to be refreshed, folded and put away. I need to *touch up* my hair which is starting to make me feel even older than I am. I also have been having a bit of a problem with putting on my socks because my darn toenails need trimming! Little things mean a lot, don't they? The last thing on my mind with all that's gone on this past month is my toenails! The heck of it is that they are very tough to trim. I swear I am going to use the Beast's Dremel tool to file them down to a decent length...LOL We've used it to trim the dog's nails so why not?
Now that might not seem like a lot of things to do to you. At least, not if you are in decent health. But they take a lot of effort for me since my endurance is so crappy right now. As it is, I have to sit down a lot because I can't stand upright for too long. Sometimes, it's because of my back (the back brace is really uncomfortable as much as it helps) but other times I just fade and get a bit shaky.
I'm not quite ready to tackle going to Cee's just yet because I dread the thought of tackling her stairs up to the second floor. Right now, just going up the five stairs to MY front porch tires me out and I have to sit down as soon as I get inside the house because my legs get so weak. Cee's apartment has more stairs than that!
But I am improving, little-by-little. Baby steps, I know, but a huge improvement over how I was when I first got home from the hospital. Just getting myself a drink of water (from the nearby bathroom) was a chore and I gladly plopped down into my recliner as soon as I returned to the computer room. Now I can walk all the way into the kitchen...heck, I can walk out to the garage! I had to do that today a couple times to restock the toilet paper in our bathrooms AND take food out of the freezer for our dinner (which I prepared...*grin*). So, I AM doing better.
I got to see the pictures from the *prom* for the home-schooled kids and, I must say, the parents went all out to make it memorable for them. They had a catered dinner but the mothers provided the desserts. The tables were beautifully set up and decorated. The fathers did some really great things for the dessert table. And, yes, before you ask, the parents were there, too.
There was dancing for everyone and the kids actually did a couple skits to help entertain so a good time was had by all. The Beast took a lot of pictures of the groups, including family groups. The boys looked fantastic in their tuxes and the girls were all in lovely gowns. They all looked so grown up! Even the mothers and fathers were dressed up.
Well, it's late and I need to get to bed so that I won't be too tired to get my chores done tomorrow. It's going to be a pain waiting for the doctors nurses to call me back tomorrow. You never get to talk to the doctors but it must be done. I also have to make appointments to see both doctors while I am doing that.
Love you all. Here's a thought: YOU can choose how your day will be by choosing to either be positive or negative. If you choose to be happy, be an optomist and look at things that happen as how they were meant to happen and good things will follow. Be kind to everyone, especially yourself. YOU are in charge of yourself. ***Hugs***
