Black Friday

Most folks think Black Friday is all about shopping deals. For me it has an entirely different meaning. For me it represents trying to recover from a trip to my parents followed by a visit to the rehab facility to check on my father-in-law and then dimmer at their house.

Even though the most strenuous thing I did all day was to ride my wheelchair and eat a couple of meals the very fact that I was upright for that length of time left me in agony for most of last night and today.

It is now 9:00 in the evening and I am still hurting bad enough that I don't even feel Luke sitting up long enough toake a much needed trip to the restroom. I've been putting it off for about sn hour but the Milk of Magnesia I took earlier today is being rather insistant. I guess I need to take care of things regardless of how much pain it entails...

Eyes glued shut

Do you remember a post a while back about my teary eyes causing my eyes to be crusted shut after I go to sleep?

Well.... Read it again. The problem seems to be pretty much a continual one now.

Let's do the Time Warp again...

Something strange is happening to me. I can only assume that my medications are the culprit because sometimes they really knock me on my butt. (I have no idea why because I take the exact same meds every day with the only varience being the amount of loratab or percocet I might need. Maybe it has to do with the timing of the meds and meals...)

No, i am not developing the urge to jump to the left then step to the right (some of you will understand the reference to the title of this entry...). What i am talking about is the complete loss of chunks of time Whatever the cause, I have found myself loosing track of time and realizing that I have no idea what has taken place or even how much time has gone by.

These episodes are hard to explain but maybe an example will help. I might be watching a football game on television and realize that I suddenly have no idea how the offence has gotten the ball into the red zone.

What bothers me theist is not knowing if the problem is the meds affecting my short term memory or if it is more serious than that. Either way, it is probably for the best that I am not driving....

This is getting old...

What can I say? My knees hurt. My back hurts. When exhaustion finally allows me to sleep it is fitfull and comes in short bursts. Almost constant pain causes me to be weepy even in my sleep and the result is eyelashes crusted with "sand" on a regular basis.

All things considered I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Today was no different than yesterday or the day before or the day before.....
