I’ve been up since 445. I woke up from a weird dream then decided to empty my bladder as it had been more than 4 hours. It woke me up and I couldn’t go back to sleep even though I took ativan.

I had something to eat around 6 and then made coffee. I set my cath alarm as I haven’t had urges. When it went off at 845, I emptied and then brushed my teeth. Workers came to fix the walls and paint the hallway so going back to sleep wasn’t an option. It was nice out so I decided to go to Starbucks. I finally read some of building a therapeutic alliance. I thought of writing the highlighted stuff but I wasn’t in the mood to write. I read until I couldn’t pay attention to what I was reading and then went home.

The workers were gone when I came home. House is quiet so I might be able to sneak in a nap. Yesterday, I had an appt with my pcp. It went ok. She wants to try increasing the gabapentin before increasing my pain meds. So far nothing has really changed, though I didn’t expect there to be. I got my days messed up for the study blood draw. It was yesterday not today. I took a cab to the hospital as I didn’t want to deal with public transportation. I did a UA and culture to make sure I didn’t have an infection as I have symptoms. UA was positive for some white cells so the head nurse contacted me. The doc was going to wait for the culture to come back before treating. Today I get the bitchy nurse who tells me they aren’t treating me with antibiotics so I should contact urology. I replied and said did I ask for antibiotics? No. Have a good day. The bitch responded bit I haven’t read it and don’t plan to. She has the attitude of I’m the nurse and you should listen to what I say. I don’t tolerate that attitude from anyone.

Sox are playing tonight against the Rangers in Texas. I scheduled a Zoom meeting with my cousins for tonight before the game starts. I love that I can listen to the game via the radio app.

Grocery shopping and sore legs don’t mix

I wanted to get some turkey breast and tortilla wraps to make sandwiches. I also need to buy milk for my mother. She called while I was at the grocery store to buy some chicken thighs because they were on sale. They were all gone. The store was being renovated and so moved things around. My legs were killing me as I walked from one end of the store to the other and back. I was grateful my cousin brought me as there was no way I was going to make it to the bus stop.

My town had a thing for cab vouchers for medical appointments (non emergent) and to go food shopping. I got them. I think I am going to use them when I have to go into town on Fri. I still got to get my leg xrayed.

I am so tired. I didn’t sleep well during the night. Then around 7 I had to pee and every two hours I had to pee urgently. Might as well check my urine for infection when I go Fri too. I want to take a nap. Today was T shot day and I almost forgot to give it to myself. Glad I remembered. I usually give it in the morning but I was thinking of the grocery shopping that had to be done so it slipped my mind.

Sox are in last place. They won last night. Maybe they can win tonight too.
