Lumbar Updates, Work, Digestive Distress
April 1st, April Fools Day was my parents 40th Anniversary. My father shocked and surprised my mother with a gorgeous new ring set which included a bigger diamond engagement ring and matching diamond studded wedding band.
These 1st 2 weeks of April I’ve been taking it pretty easy recovering from my Lumbar puncture. When Monday I received a copy of my medical report and was quite annoyed and upset to read that the hour of repeated spinal punctures were because of the doctor’s blatant stupidity. They had been using the 5 inch needle for approximately the 1st hour then when she switched to the 7 inch they performed a successful insertion into my spinal canal.
At my initial consultation I had boldly stated and repeated to the doc, she MUST use a 7 inch needle that my neurologist insisted on it! I know my Neurologist’s orders said use a 7 inch needle too because I have a copy of that form. What a Fucked up person to ignore me and my Neurologist and go an HOUR torturing me to try proving they were right and yet miserably fail.
I’ve been busy this week actually “working”. Joan and Frank are elderly friends of the family I’ve known since I was a girl. Frank is in late stage Parkinson’s and had been having more problems lately so Joan spends most of her time looking after him. She needed some help so last week she asked me to come in twice a week for a few hours to take care of her dog, Twinkles and do some no/low impact tasks.
This week Frank had a complication with his medication and was hospitalized half the week, so I was stopping in everyday to feed and care for Twinkles. It’s feels nice to be useful and get out of the house.
I also spent few hours this week sorting my jewelry, knitting and craft supplies into the shelved storage units Rob bought me last week. Now it is a lot easier to find items so optimistically I can begin crafting again.
I’ve been having a lot of “digestive distress” for almost 2 months because I ran out of my special Tri-fiber pills which I can only get through the mail and I have not had the money to re-order them. These supplements are only thing I have found that counter the nasty effects of my Metformin medication and are inexpensive.
But Mom and I made an order of all our supplements from Swanson Vitamins a little over a week ago and we received it today, so my digestive system should hopefully stabilize in a few days.
