So Much Has Happened

 

Yet nothing has happened! I had a fever one day, and then nothing. My lips indicate some sort of feverish state. They have been raw, peeling, and pain from the peeling. This has been going on since the February 4, definitely since February 22. But, I was puzzled. Brain fog, inability to express myself coherently, whole body pain. There were many symptoms, nothing that made sense. 

Finally, on Wednesday, I could not walk. I was coming out of the bathroom when my body became so heavy. I wedged myself into the door of bathroom and called for Tommy to get me. Somehow, he helped me to my bed. Since then until today, I have used my walker with not attempt to walk independently. I always felt like I was falling over sideways one way or the other. I know it sounds bizarre.

Finally, as I had spasms (it appeared) in kidneys. Friday morning, I called doctor and have an antibiotic. It seems to be working with three out of twenty pills in me. Food has held little interest for me. I ate little, maybe one meal each day. One day, I heaved lots but tried not to throw up because the carpet would suffer. I carried around a small trash can for several days. 

I do know exactly what kidney spasms feel like since I spent week in hospital with problems with kidneys after first baby.

Tommy has cooked two different batches of thawed chicken. I had him freeze the cooked chicken so it would not spoil. He had to throw away two packages of the now-thawed chicken that I did not feel like going into the kitchen to cook. I think we had six packs of raw chicken thawing--bscb, thighs, tenders. I figure chicken is chicken. I just don't eat the thighs. But, they make the rest tasty. 

He misses parts of his cooking lessons. He skimmed off the potato peeling so he would not throw out edible potato. He left the green potato! So, I had to re-peel. It takes me promising him diarrhea and pain to make it soak in. 

I did manage to cook squash. I never ate much, but it was delicious. There is another head of cabbage, chopped salad, and other things I have sent him in to buy. For four days I did not step foot in the kitchen. We cannot drive two walkers into the kitchen. Well, they will both go in, but maneuverings is impossible to do safely.

As soon as I can, I will make an appointment with a urologist for a well-patient appointment! 

The weather was beautiful today. I suggested a trip to the park to sit in car and eat drumsticks. That ended badly hours later after milk in the drumsticks got its revenge on me.

We saw firemen and two firetrucks at the tennis court playing tennis, I thought. Tommy said it was pickleball. Interesting--ping pong paddles with whiffle balls? We surmised that the trucks were there in case the guys needed to answer a call. One guy drove away quickly with lights and sirens. These guys were not neglecting their jobs. 

This post won't be edited; deal with it by ignoring mistakes. 

I have not seen or read much about what Trump and Musk are doing. 

Kraft mac and cheese was calling me so bad! Tommy talked me down. His excuse--it's midnight. So? I keep a box and eat it about every six months. 

I gave worn myself plumb out. 

The gadget at the top of the page is for putting meds or lotions on extremities. Tommy has a horrible sort of wedge out of his foot. The doctor gave him a tube of something to put on it. He cannot reach his foot, especially the bottom of his foot. I am willing to help, but his foot will not go into my lap. He cannot get it up at all. Any position that he can assume for his foot, I cannot reach and hold the position to administer this cream. So, I searched and bought this applicator, 19 inches long. It is capable of being bent by hand and bent to another angle if need be.
