a dreary day

A dreary day

There wasn’t thunderstorms like they said there would be, at least not in my area. But it was cloudy for most of the day. It didn’t start raining until the afternoon, after I came home from my appt. I had to take a cab to it because I woke up late. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t have time for coffee. I just left the house.

The appt went good. My doc said that the cyst was small on my kidney so I just needed an ultrasound to monitor it. She also said she would prescribe me my pain meds that I am taking for surgery. She just needs to let the surgeon know. We discussed a few other things but everything looked good.

After the appt I went grocery shopping. I got cereal and some cottage cheese. If I had a ride home, I probably would have bought more but I had the half and half and milk and a thing of OJ. That was enough to carry home. I also bought some sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits for breakfast. That with the chicken patties should be good. I really want to make my casserole so I can have it for a few days.

I got the call from pre op. I need to be on a clear liquid diet day before surgery. I need to buy some apple juice and more Gatorade. The good news is that I don’t need to stop the weight loss drug. I was worried about restarting it at a high dose. But we are good. I have to be at the hospital at like 545am. Yuck That is going to take some doing. I can continue to drink stuff until two hours before I need to show up. I think I will be peeing all day.

I was hoping to start my studying tonight but I am too tired from my travels. I took a nap so maybe I can stay up a little bit. I have to get my notebook that is downstairs. I will get it in the morning. I plan on doing a couple of hours of studying tomorrow. I am nervous about the final. I don’t think I did too good on the exam last night. There were some hard questions that I didn’t study for. If I get a 60 I will be happy.

I have been feeling down most of the day. I really wasn’t with it when I was meeting with my doctor. I just wanted to go home and be with my puppy. I tried sleeping with the puppy last night but around 1 she decided to leave the bed for the floor so I went up to my room. I had a hard time going to sleep. I kept tossing and turning. I couldn’t get comfortable. And my foot kept getting cold despite me wrapping it in the comforter. I finally took some Ativan. I had heartburn so I had to take some Mylanta too. I forgot to tell my doc about the heartburn I have been having. I swear I will get an ulcer if it continues. The burning is so awful. I have been in such a mood the past few hours. Feel sad. Sox game has no score in the 7^th so far. I don’t think I will ever feel ok again. Just be this sad being.

It was around 54 degrees today and I got really cold. I had to put on a sweatshirt. I needed something heavier than a long sleeve shirt. I don’t know why I got so cold. This was throughout the house, not just in my room. The wind much have been blowing. I hate it. It would be nice if there wasn’t a cold wind every day. I swear it is because of climate change. I don’t ever remember there being this much wind happening.
