Today while filling a form for the Gastroentnology (that is correct spelling)I found in my history that I have a Schatzki ring in the esophagus. No one ever told me that. I forget the word for the spasms I can get that and bring food back instead of taking it down. I knew I had that. I take medicine for Gastric Reflux and have for years.  Making all this worse would be anxiety which I have trying to care for Wil.

Next week I go to have that tube shoved down my throat and after a few days of a sore throat hopefully I can swallow normally again. Had it done a couple times, last time the Dr. found a web. Never found out what that meant as he didn't have me come for a follow up. He was getting ready to retire.

Supervisor for the City Solid Waste Dept. called me as he saw the form my Dr. signed that I have a permanent disability. I choked up and almost started to cry. I told him that is something I have not really accepted yet. Of course the news was on and the fact the Queen had died was also affecting my emotions. Add to all that was this morning trying to accomplish some outside things. I got Wil out to help with it but he was having trouble understanding that I could get the hose to the driveway to rinse the dirt off the siding.  The humidity out there was getting to me so I came in with him and sat down with a cold drink of water.

After lunch PT showed up. I figured I had the wrong day, I did. She is a big help and glad to hear today the neuropathy in my legs and feet was not there. We worked at the sink in the kitchen for my thing to hold on while I marched. Then the knee bends were hard as I can't get the backside to do what it should. As she finished up and I stood up so she could see why I can't stand long, I learned to use my toes and lean slightly forward. Believe it or not that works. Before my weight was on my heels without me realizing it.  I hope my new shoes let me feel my feet better than these.

Need to get going I want to order a peddle thing from Amazon. She said she would put it together if it needed it when she comes next week.
