Not My Choice

 " Happy Birthday" to Tommy. I may try to find some of his presents for him to open. I am not much better; he is steadily getting worse. Today, I asked him if he could get some Kleenex stock. 

Last night, I thought I broke a rib coughing. Today, I think I pulled a muscle. It really hurts! 

I am exhausted from coughing. I caught this first. It appears that he is not going to be as ill as I was and still am. 

Luckily, we had chicken, salad, and baked potatoes from Sunday. We have one more breast which is largest of the three and 'plenty' of potatoes, according to Tommy. 

My vibration mat came today. It is so heavy; it needs a permanent position. We cannot move it about each day.

New cleaner comes Wednesday and until last one recovers and comes back, she will help me. 

I have not had a banana since last Friday. That adds to my misery. There is plenty of fruit, but it not a banana!

Coughing is Difficult

Coughing is important when you have Chronic Bronchitis! Now, I have to hold back when I cough because it hurts my shoulder so much. And, my back/spine and arm. My chest is getting tighter and congested!

I called the doctor and complained I had not had an MRI of shoulders. Well, I left a message. The doctor did not call. The nurse practitioner did not call. A nurse with whom I have never spoken called. She said the doctor will look at the MRI tomorrow. He thinks my shoulder and back pain is coming from neck.

This all annoys me.  I can barely get out of the bed. But, I do. I ate cereal all day long. When have you ever heard me say that? I ate cereal all day Friday, too. Or, was it Saturday? Saturday night, I found a can of mini ravioli and ate that.

To top things off, I have lost the remote again.

The mail is still in the box. And, I don't care!
