Was Pain Free, at least a little while
I did a few errands today as I had to pick up my prescriptions. Seems like every week I have something to pick up. Cost of being on a lot of meds I guess. Anyways, up until then, I was pain free. I started walking home and my thigh started aching. I didn’t know if I would be able to make it home. I took a shower this morning as I was up really early, like 0400 early. The hungry horrors struck as I had a big bowl of oatmeal and then an hour later I was still hungry. I had a pop tart. I was then hungry about a half hour later but decided to drink some water and take a nap. I didn’t sleep very well as my phone kept going off with messages and someone from Indiana keeps calling me. Every time I block the number, a new number appears. Fuckers. I only know one person from Indiana and I know it’s not her because her contact information would show up on my phone. It has to be a bill collector of some sort because they call several times a day. They NEVER leave a message so I don’t answer the phone.
It was good to be pain free for at least 12 hours or so. I guess my errand running flared up my leg. I guess the combination of my pain meds and nerve pain meds are keeping the pain in my ankle/foot at bay. That body part still is quiet so please don’t wake it. LOL. I am sure I will probably be in pain later when the meds wear off. The only pain I really had before going out was my back because I was taking a shower and standing for longer than ten minutes. It went away, luckily, when I rested. Surprisingly, it didn’t return while I was doing my errands and walking to the different places I had to go. It’s a mystery as to how it is set off. I think being barefoot has something to do with it. I am almost always barefoot around the house. Only time I wear slippers is when I know the kitchen floor is likely to be cold because it is cold out. Luckily we have been having warm weather for December so I can still be barefoot.
I started reading the next chapter in my book. I am surprised General McClellan is still in command. I forget the year he got fired and know his time is coming to a close because Lincoln’s cabinet is rounding a petition to have him fired or else. He hasn’t done a damn thing since the 7 days of War. The guy just annoys me, mostly because he refuses to include the president in his planning. To me, that is just disrespectful to the Commander in Chief. I hope to finish this book by the end of the week. I know I said I would write a review of the book but now I am not so sure. It turned out to be a better book than I thought it would be. I am learning more about the history than I thought I would. The author definitely researched this book very well.
Other than continue to read this book today, I am just going to rest my leg. I hope I don’t have to go up and down the stairs too much. My bowels seem to have exploded after I had my coffee so I hope my last trip to the bathroom was my last. I also hope that my hunger strikes don’t happen, though I still haven’t had lunch yet. Part of the reason I wanted to have coffee (besides the awful headache I woke with after my nap) was to curb my appetite. I still want egg and toast. I might have it later, if my mother doesn’t make anything for supper. We still have the load of fish she cooked. I don’t know who is going to eat it. I certainly am not going to eat reheated fish. Just the thought of it grosses me out. And the resulting smell it will leave in the kitchen does too.
