Making phone calls and being on hold
I got my new SIM card for my phones and put them in. Unfortunately, I am unable to install the new voicemail feature and it said to call a number. I did and was put on hold. I also called my service provider to take a line off my account and was put on hold. Catheter company called just as therapy was ending so when I returned the call I was on hold. Doesn’t anyone get this lucky when making phone calls? I wouldn’t mind but the catheter company had piano music that was so depressing. I could only bear it for so long and then I hung up to call again. Finally got through to someone at my cell provider and turns out all I needed to do was update the app. I was with the tech for just a minute after spending 20 on hold.
Today is my nephew’s birthday so we celebrated out in my backyard. I lasted a couple of hours before the heat got to me. I am so tired and because I was sitting, my ankle/foot is flared up. Going to be a while before it settles down before I am able to sleep. Veins are popping on my foot which isn’t a good sign. CRPS swells up really good. The Suicidal area on my ankle has flared up a few notches. My sister had me go downstairs to check on my mother. I wish I didn’t because now the pain is agony. Foot and ankle are screaming at me. And just like that I am in a suicidal spiral. The pain is causing me to feel so damn hopeless and I am trying to “ignore” it. I am trying to say it will pass and then I will be “fine”. But in this moment I wish I was dead. I just took my BT meds with Tylenol. Hopefully in an hour I will be feeling better.
I am listening to a song by Taylor Swift on repeat. I don’t know what it is about this song but I absolutely love it so much. The melody of the song just draws me in. As many times as I have heard this song I still do not know it word for word, yet. I am getting there with each repeat.
I changed my sheets today. It was a very hot day today so I tried to just stay in my room. I told my mother I would cook dinner and I nearly melted from the heat. She liked what I cooked. I made lemon chicken, rice and zucchini. I didn’t eat it because I was full off the Chinese food I had for lunch.
For some reason my jaw and ear hurt. The muscles around there are really tight. I’ve tried to massage it but can’t get the right spot. I’ve been taking zanaflex to try and loosen up the muscles but it hasn’t worked.
I listened to the ball game in its entirety. Eddie was phenomenal. He got his first win since May. I am so happy for him. We swept the Skanks. It was a good game.

My new AC has arrived. I am waiting for my brother in law to put it in. The one I have is old and only works on one setting, low. It has served me well over 10 years so time to upgrade. I think the one I have is a “smart” one so I can have the settings on my phone. That would be great when I am coming home I can turn it on and cool the room off. I’ve made a path in my room for my brother in law to work with. I just hope it is big enough.
I had coffee and quiche for breakfast. I think I am going to have a black bean burger for lunch/dinner. I’ll have it with my new bread that I bought that is flourless. It has whole grains and lentils in it. Just hope I like it. It is going to be hot this weekend. Tomorrow is supposed to be 97. I might make iced coffee tomorrow.
Last night I watched one of my favorite Red Sox players retire and enter the HOF. A lot of former Red Sox came and it was good to see them again. Mike Lowell hasn’t aged and is still handsome as ever. He is my all-time favorite third baseman. No one could hold the corners like him and Youkilis. They were amazing and fun to watch. I wish I could watch the games but listening to the radio has been fun too.
I’ve been trying to clear my bed off but I get so overwhelmed with what to do with the stuff I just clear a little off and then have to rest my back because it flares up. I took down a bag of recycling today and I was so out of breath on the way back up the stairs. My PT has said that the breath part of Covid is the last to go away. I am feeling my energy come back slowly but when I do stuff the next day has to be a rest day still because I get so damn tired. If I don’t rest, the next day is even harder to stay awake, no matter how much coffee I drink.
I done what I could to clear off my bed but my back is still not cooperating with me and hurts really bad. I am going to quit now before I hurt more or injure myself. I put most of my clothes away so that was good. Also got rid of the mail that had accumulated in the corner. What I didn’t finish today will be done tomorrow. I am hurting too much right now to finish.
