I'm so behind

 Today I'm determined to write on my blog. Jenni and I are going to Fil by Golly's shop this morning to browse her stuff for sale. We're going to take the wheelchair so I can look aroundat my leisure.

Except for my continual fatigue I'm feeling pretty good. I walk around my bedroom without the walker but I  I'mgoing to be attached to that darn thing for months. I'm too shaky without it and that really irritates me,

I'm totally depressed that Trump won but oh well...

Jenni is having to put eye drops in my eyes and that will continue for some time. I had surgery on both of them Can;t remember what it's called but it's common. This will have to be short as I'malerady having trouble typing,

Still hanging in there

 It's been a hard year. I suspect I'm going to be using a walker forever. I can live with that but it doesn't make me happy. I've fallen five times now and that's made me very nervous about falling again. emts had to come three times just to pick me up and I half expect I'll fall and break a hip one day andAA end up in a nursing home. I sure the hell hope not! I will most likely die here though. Jenni is such a good caregiver but I worry constantly that I'm too much for her. She fell and broke her shoulder a while back so that's limited what she can do to help me. 

And of course there's always that MS she has too.

I spend my days watching tv, working jigsaws,.and napping. I'm tired all the time. I have just recently tried using my computer.

And that is all I have for now.

What a week!

 This coming Thursday I find out if my knee has some kind of infection in it. If it does I may have   to go into the hospital for six more weeks. You can imagine how depressing that is. On June 8th I'm moving into Avamere in Port Townsend....or the family will move me in and I'll have to wait six weeks to see the place. I pray this doesn't happen.

I've been in and out of doctors offices. Knee surgeon my regular doctor, and my blood doctor. I'm sick of it!

On the plus side (I think) is that I just sold my car. Didn't want to but insurance is $942 a year and my budget can't handle that with Avamere's high rent. Hated to see her go. Carvana did give me over $9500 though.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be well again.

oh My!

 dumped over a full glass of water by my bed during the night. Got up at  to finish sleeping in my recliner then I couldn't get it down. Thank goodness Jake is an early riser. He got me out of the chair and by then I was so tired I had to ask Mary to make my toast.

My goal today is to put away all the clothes in my bedroom. Tomorrow  I have a caregiver coming andI'm thinking of letting her do it.

still under the weather

 Some days I can hardly walk and it's really pisses me off! Mary has health care workers coming Tues and Thursday through May from 8 to noon. We went to doctor yesterday and besides bad blood numbers I also have a UTI. Oh swell. I'm still not eating much and have lost 24 lbs. I'm terribly thirsty though. And for some reason I've been cold.

Mary decided I've got dementia. We had words over that one.

Gonna turn up the heat now.
