Sweltering day
I was supposed to meet my DMH worker today but it hit 90 with a feel of 102 and I said nope, not going out. I was roasting in my kitchen as I drank my morning coffee. I got up around 10 or 11, I don’t remember. I was having a weird dream that I was working in the hematology lab for some reason and the tube station kept on getting full with specimens. I kept having to go to all the tube stations as there was just two of us working and then I called chem to say I was going to be late or something. I don’t remember the reason now. Just a strange dream. I woke up with a little headache that was made worse by the heat. For the second day in a row, I got the same kind of headache. Tylenol helped a little bit. Because of the heat, the heat rash on my wrist came back and now I got it on top of my wrist as well. I am so glad the study ends in a couple of days. I am sick of the surveys and wearing this fitbit.
The talk with my DMH worker went well, though she wasn’t thrilled I was getting bottom surgery. It is what I want. I’ve thought about this for some time. It isn’t some thing I just thought of on a whim. The consult is on Friday. I need to leave around 1230 to get to the hospital area of Boston by 2. I also need to be there at least 20 mins early as I need to change my name and update my insurance and I am sure there will be paperwork for me to fill out. I tried to put my medication in the mychart app but there isn’t an option for it.
I have been feeling tired since I woke up. I was waiting for my DMH worker to call and I was laying down. I nearly fell asleep. I have been trying to stay hydrated because I have been sweating so much. I need to shower. I think it will help my headache. I bought a lavender odor thing and now my room smells nice. I hate that I have to stay in here to be cool. The house is a million degrees. I swear if I ever get the money, I am tearing a hole in the wall in the kitchen and putting a big ass AC in it to cool the entire house. I don’t care what the electric will be as long as I can be in the kitchen and not sweat my ass off. I can’t even cook in there. Just microwave shit and that is it. Heat isn’t helping the fatigue. I see my pcp next week. It’s supposed to be in person. I might change it to virtual. Depends on how I feel and what the weather will be like.
As I was sitting in my kitchen, I had my feet up. I noticed my foot muscles twitching. It was so fucking weird. I didn’t feel it though. I saw it so it was even weirder. I get foot cramps all the time, at least once a day. Starts in one foot and then my other foot will hurt. I hate it because it separates my toes and it is so painful. I have to wiggle my toes to get the cramp to stop.
