Here are the pills I take for the day:
Breakfast:
Lunch:
Dinner:
I don’t know what this white pill is doing to me if anything so far, but it taste like aspirin. Like when you have it on your tongue just before you drink some water to swallow it, at least that’s what it’s Like for me.
So, I pillaged today and I opened my new pill bottle that Dr. Clark prescribed. I start taking it tomorrow and I hope that I stop smelling.
The pill is white. This is the first white pill that I have had since I started taking supplements in the summer of 2007. For the most part, my supplements have been capsules, beige capsules.
Recently, I would say in the past two years, I take a lot of tablets now. Those are beige as well, but now I have had three different shades of dark brown tablets. The brown ones taste different as well. I was surprised to see that these are white. I wonder what it is going to do to my body.
I also told my Mom that they smell different. She asked what I meant and I told her they are ‘a different kind of gross.’ One that I’ve never smelled so far.
I have already figured it out. I need to get a referral from my doctor in September for a November appointment and then my year will be planned and scheduled.
For next year, I have to get my teeth cleaned in January, in February, I need to get my state ID renewed in March is when I see my internist. April I have to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lupea And in May, I will get my teeth cleaned again. At this point, I can see Dr. Clark in June or July. We will see how I’m doing then.
I’m having a difficult time accepting this homebounded-ness right now. Maybe I’ll write about it soon…
This one just showed up in my feed and reminded me of our second department. I don’t even know that guy anymore:
I wanted to post this yesterday because yesterday was the final ‘outing’ of July. I had to postpone my Dr. Clark appointment by a week because he fell and hurt himself. I think the saddest thing is that I COULD NOT even tell that his face was injured! I couldn’t see it! My Mom had to tell me about it today.
While we waited for him in the room, I heard Aerosmith. I could not even remember which song it was. It was one of the videos that Alicia Silverstone was in so I had three to choose from and I kind of think it was Amazing, but I’m not sure.
Dr. Clark changed up one of my supplements, but Savannah told my Mom that I should keep my leftover pills of the supplement he switched me off of. he switched me because I told him that I smell. Because I do. It’s like coming out of my pores. He told me that I am detoxing from something. The smell is that I am finished with it. On Saturday, I will make the change when I pillage.
I was seated out front when my Mom was paying for my appointment and getting my new supplement and supplement schedule in order.
I do remember clearly hearing this song because it was my jam!!! This was the summer after my Dad died and my Mom and I had gone to Florida for medical treatment. I thought of that when I heard the song that was playing:
Now, I am holed up in my house until August 11 (my nephew, Steven’s Birthday) for my appointment with Dr. Harris, my optometrist and then on the 12th, I’m going downtown for another procedure with Dr. K.
One observation that I will make for this summer so far is that I am more sensitive to temperature. My nerves are a whole lot more. I freeze with the quickness and I overheat just as quickly. I am looking forward to seeing my optometrist only because I’m sure he’s going to say NOT good things because I can tell how quickly my eyes are fading, but I’m not blind yet! I don’t think I will be ever, I just can’t see things now. My Mom tells me that I look normal all the time and I flatly tell her that I do not feel it Because I don’t! I’m finding that smiles don’t come as easily as they used to. After 25 years, and closer to 26 now, #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
I heard this song today listening to my Mom’s playlist that I made for her 45th birthday and Sean was going to be 16. The party didn’t come to fruition, but I still have a great playlist!!!
I was completely blown away by hearing this song and I remember 25 years ago that I held my six month old child above my head and danced in the living room of my Parents’ house when the carpet was still there. It was beige at that time because the green carpet had been retired for a long time!!! Now, there are hardwood floors.
So many of my abilities have changed in the past 25 years, and I COMPLETELY forgot about this memory, but it came back IMMEDIATELY when I heard this song!!!
I didn’t even want to just give it a mundane number of a Rando tune because this one IS huge!!! I listened to this song twice and have cried BOTH times!!! Like, tears rapidly streaming down my face and all!!
Yesterday, I pillaged using my left hand. During the day, my right shoulder felt tweaked. It made me afraid because I use my arms to transfer.
I told my Mom, “Of course it would be my right bicep because that’s my ‘poop side’!!! I have broken my knee and had surgery twice, my hip has osteoporosis, and I can’t see out of that eye very well at all.
The only reason I could do it was because one time when I was teaching, my right arm went limp as I needed to enter grades into the computer. It just took time, but I did it slowly with my left hand just hen pecking the keyboard. That’s what I did yesterday. It took a while because my pills are on the right side of me sitting in my wheelchair; but pillaging is somewhat like second nature now.
Today, my bicep did not hurt that much at all. I was kind of ‘ginger’ with it just because I didn’t want it to hurt.
Today, I got an overwhelming dose of ‘the feels’ and maybe I’ll talk about it soon…
To make myself feel better, It was a triple header today! I started off by watching The Count of Monte Cristo because that movie is just EPIC and I love it!
Switched gears and I watched Last Christmas because I really wanted to hear George Michael! I needed eye drops in the middle of that movie and when it was over, I watched Voicemails for Isabelle.
I must say that I cried in both movies at the sappy parts. Well, they aren’t sappy, but they’re sad; heart wrenching, is a more appropriate description Ithink. My heart is wretched But I have a sneaky feeling that it had nothing to do with either movie!
I hope to talk about my overwhelming dose of ‘the feels’ but I wonder how long that’s going to take… ?!
Look at what I did today:
I dropped when I tried to grab it to take my supplements today. I’m having difficulty controlling my hands. I don’t know how long I have used it to distribute my supplements. I have lived here for 17 years, but I’m not sure how long I have used this pill box. A while. I started taking supplements in 2007. I have been seeing my current naturopath since 2011.
I have already written about the fact that I bought a Pyrex for my first apartment. I was trying to build a kitchen with supplies. On the first day, I brought it home, My Mom came by and told me that she will have it. I remember looking at Sean That we would have go back to Target the next day.
I wasn’t going to stop my Mom from having it. It’s kind of like when I got the Journey Essentials CD from Columbia House. I was listening to it in the car and my Mom also told me that she would have that as well. She took it out of the car that day. I’ve been looking on Amazon for a replacement. I think I’ll buy them the next time I get paid. I did not know they were crème brûlée containers until today when I started my search on Amazon.
I have a smaller ramekin that I used to hold my therapy putty. I will just have to use that to distribute my supplements on Saturday?
I saw this meme when I got up this morning:
When I read it, it could NOT feel more true ESPECIALLY today! Today was a rough one!
I read somewhere recently that if you hum, that it will calm your nervous system. However, I don’t think it sounded like a hum today, more like a moan or a groan. But it DOES help and I just made sure I could feel my lips kind of vibrating a little bit.
Before we got started with our routine today, she told me that I look miserable and I told her that’s because I feel miserable; because I really have today! It has been a rough day all day long! I’m not sure if it’s the weather but I just watched a few Hallmark Christmas movies that I have already seen 1 million times before. I hope tomorrow is better. I’m really not banking on it though…
