Category: A Bit Of Randomness

This category is full of randomness that really doesn’t fit nicely into any of the categories having to do with my road to walking.

I’m Just the Feet

I have been in constant communication with the dermatologist on my case for my feet. It’s been a lot of red tape! It’s quite frustrating and it makes me a little sad about the state of our medical affairs.

I have been dealing with this since April 19. That was my first dermatologist appointment. Then I saw another dermatologist when my pressure sores surfaced! Remember that my Mom asked for an antibiotic at both of those appointments because she knew that I am a slow healer and at that point of my June appointment, I already had open wounds. but again, red tape!

She wanted to catch the infection before it got out of control. But, alas, here we are! And does it hurt!!!

But I still have persisted in conversing with the doctor in hopes of getting a home care nurse to come to my house. Well, on June 28, all of this red tape has finally been cut through and a home care nurse called me this morning. She is going to call tomorrow morning to set up a time to come out to my house.

I told my Mom today that she is running point for this appointment because she’s doing everything and I am just the feet.

My Wound Care Nurse

My wound care nurse came to my house today at 11. She called my Mom this morning and they set it up because I was sleeping! My Mom came into my room and called my name and when I opened my eyes, she shoved a mask into my face and told me to put it on.

I heard a voice who sounded like somebody I knew when I was a child, she was my babysitter, I heard my Mom‘s murmuring as they were talking and it lulled me back to sleep.

I was so glad that I told my Mom to take point because I was having difficulty waking up this morning but then when she came into my room and I talked with her, she sounds like my aunt Iris! I say that because while she was here, I didn’t have my contacts in. She took pictures of my wounds and told me she was going to come back on Friday.

I didn’t even know her name until after she left and my Mom told me that it is Sonya. I think it will be a good thing! And I think that I am vibin’ with her. Because it doesn’t seem like these wounds are going anywhere anytime soon…

So, OF COURSE I’m Excited!!!

Yesterday morning, a Facebook friend tagged me in this post:

I got so excited seeing this and I am so excited for this Halloween! Actually, I’m excited for September 30 AND THEN Halloween!

Having my Hocus Pocus marathon every Halloween season gives me purpose. And I like feeling like an 11-year-old girl every October 1 and that stays pretty much all month!

I have been tagged and messaged by so many of my Facebook friends so it just goes to show that I’m consistent!
here are a couple of the messages I have received:



Someone I went to high school with messaged me this picture and told me they thought of me and then wondered why and it’s probably the 45 times and watch it every October.

And another Facebook friend who I have known since I was in kindergarten sent with this video:

I am so beyond excited but I will have to wait for three WHOLE months until all of this happens! So, OF COURSE I’m excited!!!

Rando Tune #15

I was wondering which song would be my quinceañera song! Oh my Mom gave me the answer last night! I laughed hysterically when she told me that!

We were talking about Sonya and the fact that she’s coming back tomorrow. I don’t remember what my Mom said or what we were talking about but somehow she asked me some thing and then said because that will put us under a lot of,”Pressure!“

I started to laugh and tried to sing the beat but I couldn’t because I was laughing too hard but here it is. I love this song!:

July 2022 Faves

I am reminded of this time me and Sean went to the Plymouth (some kind of fair) with my cousinT Shannon and she snapped this picture from her apartment stairs:

I am not sure why I was driving my Parents’ car but look at me acting like I own it! That is something I do I guess!:

I don’t own that car either! I don’t even drive anymore. But these are the songs I am thinking about because I used to drive that white Blazer around in that picture, Sean is in the backseat and his car seat. This is what we were listening to:

NOT in this Regard

It’s been five years since I had my second knee surgery. Since then, I have not so lovingly referred to my right leg as my, “Poop Leg/Knee/Side.”

It has hurt me terribly since I had surgery in 2017 but, now, it’s a little different. The sore on my left foot is bigger than the sore on my right foot. My left side is the side that is killing me! It hurts like the dickens!

I think that my right leg and my knee understand that this is not the time to be acting up because I am dealing with major pain right now! So, it seems that my right knee is behaving at this point. Maybe tit feels badly for me because I’m in so much pain!

I can’t even see because this pain is so much! So, my right side is my ‘poop side’ but not in this regard. My left leg is killing me like the dickens!!!

“It’s Got to Hurt if it’s to heal OR Raw

I have known this movie quote for almost my entire life and I used it all of the time when I was working out at Barwis but I am having a really difficult time accepting this right now!:

And ‘hurt’ it does! So much so that as I was listening to my morning prayers, (it was afternoon by the time I listened to them) and all I could do is sit there with my eyes closed and tears streamed down my cheeks out of the sides of my eyes.

I was crying because even though they are healing, and the dead skin and scabs are gone, My feet are raw. I told my Mom as she was washing my feet this morning that the drips of water were hurting. I really hate that it takes so long for my body to heal!

Cued Up

Full disclosure, The day before yesterday, I listened to that song from Zoey 101‘s final episode twice The day before yesterday and once yesterday. I even watched my favorite part of the episode – of the series really!

I actually watched this video The day before yesterday as I was in bed and my Mom was washing my feet. I kept exclaiming that I couldn’t believe I was watching this but I was!

Now, it’s good that I have that song all cued up because it’s about time and listen to it again right now and think of my dark red wall in our second apartment.
