What's on your Wednesday Menu?

I hope your follow up goes well!

Ouch, that doesn't sound fun.
Hope the Dr appt goes well.

It seems when it rains it pours sometimes. Take care of yourself!

Oh Matt, missed your wrist issues. I hope they're able to work with you. It's so much harder to manage when you can't use your body the way you want it to.

Falling is no joke. I hope you're okay.

Be careful!

Good morning.

I'm glad you are bit better. Lidocaine patches or even k-tape can really help. Or knee brace. Specially some that have removable firm side strips that can stabilize the joint.

As someone who had torned inside ligaments on both knees - 2 years apart can tell you that can really help. After initial recovery- soft neoprene knee brace can be used longer term.

Get a walker with adjusted seat- so you can be at table or counter height. Worth the money- Specially if you can get that used.

I hope you get better.

Qotd: many...mostly sci-fi, fantasy, spies stories, action books, murder misteris, assassins (I couldn't kill someone unless they really abused children or animals- I think I could live with myself after dealing with them).

Yesterday was interesting day. On Monday morning I had a shoulder injection- steroids. I decided to stay at work longer...and I was running high on steroids. I was planning to get home, but at 2am I just crashed. One moment I was working, dancing in my chair to the background music, the next moment I couldn't keep my eyes open. Driving home was not an option. I crashed at work. I think I was asleep the moment I put my head on a pillow.

Then I woke up yesterday at 7am back high on steroids. Wow. I had acupuncture at 3, so I left work early, didn't get to see my chiropractor because of an accident and thunderstorm. But I stopped at Aldi just to get my egg white wraps. Spent an hour bothering this nice lady - I was still high on steroids- high as a kite. I seldom have energy like that. I think I'm still high. That's how it feels to have steroids in your system? (Im have adrenal insufficiency so my natural cortisone is always low to dangerously low. I take Rx cortisone but I probably don't take enough. UGh.

Anyway..2 hrs and $200 later...lots of food including bacon. I was hungry. I was so high I forgot to eat the whole day. Like really. Normally steroids make me hungry. And my phone decided not to work. Ugh.

Keith was going to be at his buddies car thingy- so I thought I had till 8 before he would be back home. But they canceled the event due to...thunderstorm...- it rained heavily for over 1 hr- if not longer, and that's why I didn't want to leave Aldi. I was able to reset my phone after Aldi and got 2 texts from Keith worrying about me. I was supposed to get home early, only stopping by Publix. Oops.

After that I had to stop by Publix to pick up cold cuts I ordered on line, plus some frozen pizza for Keith (I buy different ones when they are on sale).

Finally got home. Keith helped unpack the car, and I ate a few bites of food. I was still high ... ugh.

Eventually I took melatonin, progesterone, plus some l-theanine, and benadryl...and I was able to get to bed at 1am. Cat, Dewey is a great sleeping companion. Love that monster.

Today I need to see my chiropractor, but besides that - I need to work on accounting and overdue projects. It's going to be a long day. Ugh.

Menu:

Liquids- coffee plus tea plus....plus

Late lunch - not sure... my lunch time got shifted to 3pm. After the other working crowd is no longer in the kitchen... I hate when people mess with my food.

D: not sure, but I have bacon so I'll incorporate that. Most likely. Or use that as a snack.so maybe chicken or smoked turkey breast or roast beef .. decisions..

S: bacon, cheese apple avocado...

Wow, I can't imagine having that reaction to the shot- sounds like an eventful few days.

Sometimes I get it from epidural or shots like that. But not always.

I very seldom get that from SI joins shots (I get 2 per each SI side).

I might take steroids more often if I had that reaction, it sounds entertaining. Hope you are back to your normal soon.

Glad you made it to the bed and have a place to sleep at your business. Good luck with work today.
