It was a busy week.
Monday: Injection into my SI joint left side...the usual sting like a bee...hold real still. About 48 hours after the injection I noticed some relief. Not a lot ...but some. The Dr. there thinks I have multiple problems...SI joint, L4 and L5, RA and PTLDs (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome). Go figure. I am on the wait list to see the Neurosurgeon...right now my appointment is on May 30. Who knows when or if I can have surgery. Supper was BLTs and peaches.
Tuesday: A day off to catch up with the many things on my desk and a number of things on my mind. I sewed on buttons, put away some odds and ends properly. Supper was Pork Chops and Wild Rice.
Wednesday: I did the grocery shopping after I had a Dexa Scan...from the report it looks like my bones are better than in 2017. Who knew? Supper was Moons Over My Hammy ( Over easy eggs on bread topped with sliced ham and cheese and then grilled to perfection).
Thursday: Stopped by the Clinic and had Lab work...all is well there. Got the car gassed up and went through the car wash, and to the bank while Far Guy had his weekly infusion. He is finally feeling a bit stronger and is coughing less...he is walking and keeping track of his steps. I spent some time on the phone with some idiots at our Internet/TV provider who changed their billing software which caused a glitch in how I pay their bill. Of course they want me to pay using their system and not bill pay...I told them forget that crap. I do all the payments through bill pay at our bank. Dumb asses...they also asked me to rate their customer service...ya u betcha. Supper was salad and Impossible Italian Sausage Pie.
Friday: Far Guy has an appointment with a dietician to see what other high protein things I can feed him to gain back some of the 20 pounds he lost in the last year...10 pounds were lost just in March alone. I have a Rheumatology virtual appointment on Friday afternoon. I have little to no confidence in him. Right now I take Tylenol and THC Gummies for the pain. Supper will be Apple Pancake.
Not sure what the weekend will bring...other than maybe all the snow will melt in the yard.
We saw six Robins as we drove into our yard yesterday...I sat outside quite awhile in the evening hoping to hear or see a Robin...no luck...I heard a Crow and a Woodpecker. I am certain she who sees robins first saw the robins before me again!

Oh you make me feel blessed that I don’t have all these health problems. I think I’m in bad shape often, but I’m not really I guess. Spring is here where I am and I hope is comes your way soon. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of stuff going on! Hopefully you get some answers to your pain and whether or not they can help you!
ReplyDeleteI understand the dietary issue, I had many meetings with the dieticians when hubby had throat cancer. Amazingly enough, we did make it through without any weight loss. They should give you a good idea of what to do and maybe even a diet plan. Fingers crossed.
That's a busy week. You have to stay in the game to keep on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a week is right! Goodness!
ReplyDeleteGlad FarGuy is seeing improvement with this infusion and you got some relief from the shot, even if not that much. *hugs*
I just love it when I've had a bad customer service experience and they send me a survey. Ok, let me tell you all the ways you guys suck. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've been stubbornly still using the bill pay option via my bank as well, in spite of pressure from 2 "vendors" who really want me to use their own system. Hang in there with the pain - I'm sure somewhere there is a solution.
ReplyDeleteRobins?! I’m sure they won’t be here until late May or even into June. I hope that injection continues to provide relief - more each day
ReplyDeleteThat is a "what a week". I am glad to hear the Far Guy is doing better. And that your bones are holding up. Now if the other issues could be dealt with successfully.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy schedule and I sure hope that the doctors can find something to help you. your meals all sound very good...especially peaches! We have seen many robins this past week...they are scurrying around looking for bugs. Customer service? I detest talking with them.
ReplyDeletePhew, that was a busy week. I do hope Far Guy is able to regain the weight he's lost and you find some relief from the chronic pain.
ReplyDeleteThe robins were here yesterday! I did hear them calling. :)
You did have a busy week!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I got my diagnosis, " Multi-factorial". I laughed. Ya think?
ReplyDeleteYou have a good attitude about all that stuff going on. That's a long wait for the doctor visit, though. Sigh. But glad to hear that FG is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour week was similar to mine....I'm tired an broke! LOL!
