Going home!

Going home

I got discharged from the hospital today. They sent a chair car for me so I sat in a wheelchair on the way home. I am glad there wasn’t traffic on the highway. There was a ton of traffic around the hospital though so it was tough just getting to the highway that was less than a mile away. The driver asked me where I lived. He got the city wrong and I was like oh man…but he corrected himself and opted for the highway rather than the back roads. I was glad as I knew there was construction near the end of the backroads near my town.

I came home and my room was 84 degrees. I checked the temp outside and it was 84 degrees. So gross. I hate summer. I immediately turned on the AC by remote which surprisingly worked. I have had difficulty with the remote since I got the AC in my window. I don’t know why. It is touchpad like so I am thinking something is off on it or I just don’t know where the sensor is on the AC as I am just randomly pointing it, trying to get it to work. I was going to go pick up my prescriptions but I wanted to listen to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). My laptop didn’t want to cooperate with me for like an hour. I didn’t want to do a restart as it was just one program that refused to open. Unfortunately, it was the program I needed to get the songs on my phone. So I waited until my computer “warmed up” and then tried again and this time it worked. By this time, I lost energy as I was tired from being in a hot room trying to cool off.

I got the songs loaded on my phone and then checked the bus schedule. I had a half hour until the next bus so I rested for a half hour. I didn’t sleep. I got dressed and then went out. I had to get half and half as there was none in the house. I stopped at the grocery store and got some and then headed toward the pharmacy. The doc had called in a multivitamin but that wasn’t covered by my insurance so I didn’t get it. I wasn’t going to pay for a 2 week supply. I got the medication I needed and then went back to the bus stop. I hoped the bus would come sooner rather than later as I didn’t want the half and half to spoil in the heat. It came in like 10 mins and I was thankful.

I am really liking the new songs on the Speak Now (TV) album. I had to create a playlist because my phone split it to two albums for some reason. The lyrics of the new songs are powerful. One song got me so much. I can’t remember the name. I am still getting used to them. The album will be on repeat for the next month so I guess that is my warning if you don’t like Taylor.

On edge

This morning, I woke up from a bad dream. It was a culmination of stuff I’ve been reading on social media the past few days. Unfortunately, it involved my friend and her kids and so was that more upsetting. I had to take an Ativan. There was a pt that kept wanting to talk to me but I didn’t feel like talking. He then swore at me. I blew him off. He started swearing at staff so security was called and he was brought to another room. Long as he was away from me that was all I cared about.

I met with the doc. Told him to change the migraine med to a prn order rather than have it as a one time dose. I don’t know if he will as I am leaving tomorrow.

My knees have been bothering me for more than a few weeks now. I asked my pcp’s nurse to change our appt to in person so I can see my pcp about it. I am really scared as knee problems run in the family.

I told my sister I would pick up some burgers for dinner tomorrow night. I’ll also get some coffee pods as I think I have just one left. I’ll also have to get half and half.

I am reading a suicidology book and it is not as interesting as I thought it would be. Not sure I am going to learn anything new other than finding out what is meant by Qual and Quant research. Chapter I am reading now is about Indigenous populations so it is interesting. I might finish reading the chapter today. There is nothing going on today.
