I didn’t get up when my med alarm went off. I was so tired. I woke up a couple of times during the night. I had woken up at midnight and it took a while for me to settle down and get back to sleep. I hope I have a better night tonight as I got to be up and out of the house by 9 so I can see my neurologist in the morning. I also need to donate blood. I hope the café is open to patients so I can get lunch. I will bring a sandwich just in case they are closed to the public. I am trying to hydrate as much as I can. I figure I will switch between Powerade and water.
I did my arm exercises this afternoon after I had my coffee. It was tough but I did it. I was fatigued afterwards. I shaved my head while heating up my lunch. I had missed a spot yesterday when I was I was shaving. I finally took a shower and washed all my parts with my new soap. I had shaved my face and head. I look good bald.
I got to pack my bag and make sure I have enough caths for the time out. I will be drinking a lot so I need to make sure I have more than enough. It is going to be cold tomorrow. I am debating taking an Uber so I don’t waste energy on the T getting to my appointment. I just really hope I am not rushing in the morning because I know I will forget something.
I am listening to Taylor on my laptop. I only have Red and folklore on. It is enough. It is all I have been listening to the past few months anyway. I am trying to stay awake so I can drink at least 3L. I have drank one so far. I need to do my meds for the week. I will do it in a little while. I want to finish writing first.
I plan on bringing my book to read while I am waiting in between appointments tomorrow. I read two chapters last night. I read about the myths of suicide. Stuff like asking about suicide plants the idea in people’s head. Totally false. Or if they are suicidal they always will be suicidal. Another falsehood. Another one is if they are talking about suicide they won’t go through with it. False. I am really enjoying this book.
Shoulder is hurting today. I don’t know if the exercises contributed or not. I don’t want to take ibuprofen because I don’t know if it will disqualify me from giving blood so I am just going to take BT med and Tylenol. I haven’t brushed my teeth yet. I think I will do it before bed.
I was having a hard time last night. 4 family members were upset with me because I didn’t bring the recycle down. I had asked my niece to do it and she never did so I got the blame. I got called a hoarder and it really hurt because i know I am not.
Today I slept until my bladder was gonna explode. My sister was in our bathroom so I had to go downstairs to use my other sister’s bathroom, which meant not cathing because she doesn’t have catheters in her bathroom and I didn’t grab any before leaving my room. I had something to eat and coffee. I feel like I could go back to sleep. I actually went to bed around 7 last night but I didn’t sleep. I felt guilty going to bed so early.
I had a difficult day as I got my haircut and then had to go to urgent care for my blood pressure issues. I was having side effects from the blood pressure pill and the doc wanted to put me on a Holter monitor. I said no. My new pcp is going to see me Thursday to start me on the beta blocker lebatalol. But I got to be seen in person. At 0830. Yuck. Next week is going to be a busy week so i hope by Thursday I have some insomnia so I can go to the appt. Otherwise i could sleep through the appt.
I am going to try and shower today. I want to shave my head but don’t think I can do it. I haven’t brushed my teeth in three days. I am so bad when it comes to this stuff. My new toothpaste has become community property. I am not happy about this. I am so tired I just want to go back to bed. I took my morning meds when I got up at 2pm. That is really late to take my twice a day pain med. I just had a really hard time sleeping during the night. I kept waking up to pee.
