Lots to do today. As a disabled person it is very hard doing even the most mundane tasks that most people take for granted. I have Fibromyalgia, severe arthritis in all large joints and most small joints, and severe COPD. I am on oxygen and daily nebulizer treatments. I take so many medications every day I've lost track. I spend most of my time in a hospital bed.
All of this affects my body, but my mind is sharp. it wants to learn learn learn and do do do. my brain and my body aren't playing well together. ugh.
I hate using my oxygen because I need one hand to hang onto walls or cane, and one hand to untangle the tubing as I walk. that leaves no hands to carry anything.
with all that being said, today i'm going to attempt to take a shower. this is the most major hardest thing I do and exhausts me, but I have to see the Dr. on Friday so.....
I have to fill my salt shaker, the cat food container, restock my water bottles, fill up my creamer container, fill the water jug for the animals.
Make meatloaf for dinner, do dishes, set up my coffee so i only have to turn it on in the morning.
I wish I could also change my bedsheet, we'll see. probably not. I guess I could have my agency lady do it Friday. We'll see.
I am going to be in alot of pain tomorrow because of all I have to do today. One day to recover before I see the Dr.

We'll See.....

Burned Biscuits-A Lesson We All Should Learn

When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! All my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing…never made a face nor uttered a word about it! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then.” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Yo...

I've had COPD for several years. Been on oxygen 24/7 for about 8 mo. it's getting SO hard to breathe again. I was in the ER once, taken by ambulance, for not being able to breathe. They put me on a nebulizer and steroids. The neb continues, the steroids were not, although they made me feel alot better. The neb seems to help. but not as much lately.  I just don't know what to do. I don't drive, but I have a home care agency lady that the State pays for me that could probably take me. it's just so hard to walk even a few steps, takes my breath away and I can't catch it, I get to the point of panic not being able to catch my breath.  If I go, I will be exhausted when I get home. Plus, I'll have to get the dog sitter to come over, which isn't a big problem, he loves to watch her, he's 71 years old and such a blessing for me. I just took out of the oven,  a loaf of homemade bread that he would love to have for babysitting. yes, I have to have a dog...
