And Now ... Thursday

How did that happen? Between ongoing internet issues, doctor visits, school, and general ennui, the days have slipped away. Can't let that happen here; this is for accountability.

Can't find my notebook where I list my eating -- also not good. Probably a kid borrowed it for writing or drawing in. If I hadn't lost three days, it wouldn't be a big deal. I'd be able to come close on memory alone. Probably not perfect, but close.

Tuesday: Leg doctor. I guess I should say knee doctor. She wasn't interested  in the rest of my leg, as in how it feels like my hip is going to tear through flesh and muscle when I walk, nor in how it feels as if the muscle is ripping away from my femur when I stand. My knee is better, and she is willing to give me a release to work. Never mind that, knee or not, I still can't stand for an extended period of time without intense, disabling pain.

If I want her to address these/this issue, I need to start a new case.
Huh?
I blame in part the specialty changing to "sports medicine", where everything is a different injury. Once upon a time, a long long time ago, the specialty was bones or bones and muscles together . Orthopedics? Osteopathy? Anyway, it's all in the blaming and the billing, not about the suffering of the patient.
(And this is one of the best specialty practices available in this area for this type injury!)

Anyway, after dr. visit, Tammy and I had lunch at a little place called Maddy's Pizza in Sardinia. Fantastic food, nice clean place, and a server who looked, moved, and sounded like a young version of one of my Margaret friends. They offered a BLT hoagy, with 12 slices of bacon as well as mayo, l, and t. I made two meals and a snack out of that paired with french fries -- also superbly, supremely delicious. The hoagy bun instead of sliced bread was nice. And there were no $5 burgers, although they would have been more worth it than many a one.
Finished out the day with a couple of those microscopic candy bars.

Wednesday; yesterday. A weird sleepy day, and I don't remember much of what I ate. A peanut butter sandwich, some chips, and later on two slices of pizza. Drank milk and coffee mostly.

Today, so far, I have had a bacon, egg,& cheese on a bun and a pack of poptarts. 

Wednesday 10/11 and Thursday 10/12

Wednesday was my check up on my right eye, so I went out to lunch with my sister/chauffeur. We went to LaRosa's, after yet another failed attempt to try AA Hitching Post. We were even joking on the way about what excuse there would be for not being open  THIS TIME. 

There was no excuse. They just weren't open. On the way out, we saw that their hired sign was blank also. If anyone wants to have a business, it usually works better to actually be open sometimes.

Anyway, we ended up at LaRosa's. I had a small meat pizza and french fries, with a diet coke. Bleah. I could only eat half of it and we took the remainder with us. It ended up being my supper as well. Had two of the little cups of ice cream at some point. And in the early morning hours, a can of tomato soup.

So, it wasn't really a pig out day as much as it was a keep-going day. 

Today, Thursday, I had a cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup, 3 cheese coneys, and two ice creams. We had a Head Start meeting at the library today, and had to do some back and forth with the school, and while there was no great exercise today, there was also no napping. Got to keep Warren for a bit while Mom went to store, and then after she went to work. He had me hopping up and down, let me tell you. I guess I can count that as exercise. 

I'm planning some toast for my midnight snack around 4, unless Tam and I go to the store after she gets off work. Probably not, because she is going to be dead on her feet, and cant go to bed until about 9. She may need caffeine to make it, though. If I do get anything else, I'll report it tomorrw.

10/7/17

5 am  biscuits
10am biscuit&gravy
1 pm popcorn
4 pm soup & steak fries
7 pm breakfast bowl

At various times; snack size candy bars. 6 or 8. Anything to stop the cramping.

Not feeling well. My stomach hurts, like someone kicked me there. i could double over. easily. I don't, because I'm supposed to be keeping my head above my heart. More specifically, my right eye. I looked it up today, ten days to two weeks before bending and stooping is considered okay. Rule of thumb, anyway. One site said up to a month; other said at least a week. Most said two weeks.

Now, at one o'clock Sunday morning, listening to the rain and wind and thunder, I'd like to think it's the weather made me have the feel-bads. But my belly still feels kicked right in the center, and I still just dont feel good.

I think I have eaten too much fruit. Not used to that. Next time I will know to buy smaller portions or to buy things that will keep better. Even though five dollars for six or eight apples is an absolutely ridiculous price for what is, after all, a home-grown or nearly local product.

Went to store for activity.
