• Remembering stuff

  As I age I get worse at that every day. At dinnertime I ate way too much!  I know I should not do that with my pesky stomach and supper became a couple of peach slices on toast. I wish I could just burp like Wil can. lol That's a guy thing I think.

  I wrote the wrong day down for our doctor appt. It is Monday, we were there yesterday. I wanted to see if we could do our labs but they were out to lunch.  I don't know how Wil was feeling as we drove home. Bet he fusses Monday. Well maybe not. He didn't remember tonight that he fill the bird baths out back this morning. I told him twice in a matter of minutes.

  Batteries went out last night on my pill timer. I got new ones in only to discover removing batteries must have wiped out the set time. I can't get any response from Carissa so I made a stab at resetting it. Instead of 8 hrs. I set 80 minutes.  Now I can't clear and try again. She had a back injection today and is not responding to email or fb.   So until she comes Sunday I'll be counting on my fingers.

  I have been fortunate today, after initial pill when I got up I haven't taken any and unless my back kicks up I'll try again skipping bedtime one.  I've had a couple days I felt like the injection must be working, no pills, then all of a sudden the next day wham!

  I got perturbed when they canceled my pain management appt. When I got a call from the pharmacy I had pills and they were the ones I can't take, I got ticked. Then I cried and asked if they prefer I find another doctor.  He called me this morning. I didn't know those pills had a refill but I probably wouldn't remember the pharmacy would automatically call the Dr. for the refill and he has staff that does that and they wouldn't think to check my chart.

  Saying a chart is funny, they don't have those any more. So I owed him and his staff a great big apology.  They found an appt. in April for me and hopefully another of his doctors can pop in for a discussion on the treatment plan. I do not want a NP. That way I will have another doctor I can learn to trust. I've gone to Dr.Martinez since he first started. I told him I consider him my son and got a laugh from him. My gastro doc retired, my gyn doc retired so to think of losing this doctor I think was eating at me.

  Generations ago you had a home town doctor that did everything. I remember as a child a doctor coming to the house and giving us our immunizations. Small town.

  Two years ago when I had the stroke I got up one morning and fell into the folding closet door.  Today I got the rubber mallet and attempted to bang the lower half straight. Wil came in and I suggested perhaps he could try lifting that side up. Bingo, mallet back in the tool chest, door shut. I do realize I best not open it full, just enough to get my clothes. Feel better now the cat can't get in there and possibly snag the clothes hanging down.  He still is not using the log to scratch or the slanted scratching post with a sisal.
