So, we had to change my morning routine because of my feet. Remember that my body does not heal quickly. So, she cleans them at night and tends to them and then she has to put my socks back on because my body can’t handle NOT having compression on them for very long. And then, in the morning, she tends to them some more. It’s completely a process that’s killing us both! My Mom more so! We have figured it out to where I do not wake her up in the middle of the night but it’s quite involved at night before I go to sleep and in the morning as well!
I had messaged my neurologist’s office in MyChart a few days before regarding a prescription for new compression socks. And she had just sent over a prescription yesterday morning. The nurse suggested a different medical supply place that was close to my house. But when my Mom called there, they do NOT carry the brand of socks that I wear.
i’ve said before that I am NOT a guinea pig and this far into my disease, I have figured out what works for me and what does NOT! It has taken an extremely long time to figure that out and LOTS of trial and error.
So, my Mom called the place I normally get my socks from and we emailed the prescription there. We will be picking them up when we are getting our teeth cleaned because we will have rented a van. As she was on the phone handling all of this business, because it’s way too early in the morning for me to talk on the phone, I completed two puzzles instead. I just want to say that they were free and I did them for my Mom!
I chose the one on the right because that is my Mom‘s favorite color and I liked the flowers but she did not like that puzzle but I completed it anyway! I chose this one because she loves shredded wheat and I think that’s disgusting! We both laughed when I showed her my completed puzzle!:
This morning, she was talking to my aunt Linda and I just let her talk because she knows what she’s doing and I just have to sit there. I completed two other puzzles as she was tending to my feet and getting me ready to get out of bed:
My Mom has asked me how many puzzles I have completed and I have no idea but it relaxes me and distracts me from my pain enough to make the day bearable.
