This has been a tough morning. I didn't sleep much last night. This time not because I was too warm, but because I did not do anything yesterday. Well, not that I had to exert any effort. We went to church, as I mentioned in my late post yesterday. We went to lunch. We came home and changed clothes - and we read for a large part of the afternoon. As in my body was not moving; it was on the couch in a comfortable position, reading. And enjoying the quiet. I fixed dinner. No great thing there. We went back to reading, then watched a movie while I crochet'd, then read a bit more and went to bed. And I was wide awake. The body had gotten so very little movement that it wasn't tired. So I tossed and turned most of the night. Because hubby hadn't napped yesterday, that I'm aware of, he did sleep. Then a bit after midnight I dozed... awake a couple more times; the alarm goes off at 4AM. No, I don't want to get up. I doze until 4:30AM and finally get up. I come in here... hubby brings the coffee in, and although I did reading and my journaling, every time I paused... I wanted tog o back to sleep. And here it is going on 7AM when I need to get on my computer, and I'm writing in here, and I am still sleepy and want to curl up in a ball and go back to sleep. It may be a very long day. I may have to take breaks and nap - but then again, even if I am sleepy, that is a rare thing.
I have another 8:30AM appointment with the chiropractor - ad he is about 3 minutes away and only takes about 15 minutes - but maybe it will be enough to get me woke up. Another cup of coffee is on the agenda as well. Coffee has been boring and weak lately so I ordered some coffee - mushroom coffee, no less - from an ad on Facebook. I need to quit ordering off of facebook!! It should be arriving soon - I sure do hope that I like it! I think today - which is organic French Roast and hubby added some cinnamon to it - I think he didn't put enough coffee in it, for it takes like colored water. I may need to ask him to add another tablespoon or two. No, I'm not 'allowed' to make the coffee. That's his 'job'. Sigh.
As far as I know, there isn't much on the agenda for today with work, but then I haven't looked at my computer yet today. I'll get up and turn it on shortly. I have the chiropractor this morning and my gym training this afternoon. I am going to call the dermatologist's office today and see if I can get in. Those darn bug bites from last October still bother me at times and they should be completely healed up by now - and are not. Something is going on in my thigh that causes pain - and I have had this pain off and on since the night I got the bug bites. We never have figured out what the bug bites were - in the beginning, if you recall, we thought it was bedbugs - but it is all gathered together in one area, which is unusual. But it still could be, I guess. The urgent care 'doctor' of not use said scorpion bites - but my dermatologist back then did not voice an opinion. He has since retired and his son has the practice. My daughter, who also goes there, says the son is more attentive and knows a bit more. I'm willing for him to take a look at these and see if he can figure it out.
Yeah, I tried to go to my medical doctor twice now. Back last Thanksgiving time one of the spots had swollen up and turned red about the size of a nickel - so I tried to get in - no appointments available for 2-3 weeks. So I just said nevermind. I tried again about a month ago to get in to see her - and was told she had no time for a week or more, but I asked to go ahead and get an appointment and explained why. Two days later I got a call from someone at her office who told me she didn't have any available time, and I should go to my dermatologist. I repeated her words back to me. "It's a skin issue so go to your dermatologist." It's not just a skin issue to me - there is something going on inside of my leg from the bug bites that causes my thigh to ache. That would be medical, would it not? Anyway, I'm disillusioned about going back to this doctor and am thinking about seeking yet another PCP who I feel can see me. I had chatted with this doctor on our portal and told her I was going to come in and see if she could look at the bites. She responded to me that was fine (and I told her person that!! But she wouldn't give me an appointment. I haven't written anymore on the portal. I'm pouting. She really hasn't done much for me in three years - I get the blood work and she adjusted my levothyroxine the last time. Everything else is the same. She listens to my heart beat and sends me on my way. I asked for an EKG and a chest x-ray the last time, but for some reason it was 'too late' to order them (why is that?) so would do it this year. Wow - am I complaining this morning or what??!! Why can I not find a medical doctor who cared about me as much as the one I had for 30+ years who had me always taking tests every few years to make sure I was ok?! I may beg his son who took the practice to take me on - but the offices have moved and it is further away a bit. Hubby still goes to the son. His son didn't want to take me on - can you imagine? I'm 'easy money' since I only go once a year as a rule.
Anyway - on to other thoughts - but I don't have any. Eight minutes. I need to get up and turn on the computer and let it start warming up. I did have some things I could write about, but no time to do that today. Maybe I could remember to do it tomorrow.
Hubby has no doctor appointments this week and has two breakfasts on the schedule, I think. I hope he will go to his Bible study this Friday. We have been together 24x7 for a few days now... it really hasn't been too bad. I guess because I didn't go do a project and leave him out of it; I read in the front room with him. Got a couple books going and one on my kindle. I may finish that one tonight, it is pretty good. But, don't know how long it is.
I have nothing to write at the moment - my eyes are on the clock. Stay tuned... maybe I will think of something fantastic to write about tomorrow. O not. Same O Same O I am sure it will be. In the meantime, you have a fantastic day!
Blessings!
