So, check out what I did today. I said some of my prayers and just after I drank my morning shake, I called Henry Ford pain clinic. I needed to set up a virtual appointment for January. I did that today. So my January of 2027 is settled.
I asked my Mom that in her travels today, if she could go to the Taylor Secretary of State (that’s the one that is closest to my house) and make an appointment for my state ID renewal in February. My ID expires in March on my birthday. She had no problem doing that! She said she was making an appointment for me and then I am homebound, but I will come out to get it renewed. I was able to get the day after I get my haircut so we can keep the van for two days and then be done for the month.
I needed to make my pain clinic appointment virtual because I am getting my teeth cleaned the day after I get my haircut. My March appointment had already been made. It was made back in September. The appointment is for Dr. Chamas. That is for bloodwork and I will also get weighed again. So now I have the first 1/4 of 2027 scheduled and it’s not even January?!
It looks like I am STILL handling my sh*t! Kind of because I needed to get assistance from my Mom. She IS my caregiver!
All of this feels like when I used to make my schedule for college. I was so crazy about doing that but it all got done! I have written before how I used to keep three class offerings list in my possession before I made the final decision. That was serious business! I was in a race to get a degree so Sean and I could have insurance. I did not realize that my disease would be as bad as it is now but it is.
So, in February, I need to message Dr. Chamas to refer me for a swallow test because the swallow test Dr. Cerghet issued has expired. I called them and they said referrals only last for 60 days and that I should call back in February to get an April appointment. In May, I am getting my teeth cleaned again and I think in June I will schedule an appointment for Reiki. I have previously had that, and it makes me feel better because at this point, nothing will be healed or go away, but at least I can feel better. I hope!
I feel pretty accomplished today and I cannot believe that’s how small my life is now. I need to stop lamenting that because I’m good at making schedules I guess.
