Oh gosh this is going to turn into a big grype. Sorry
Well the house has been dirty for a week now. Yesterdays News, hay and shredded paper on the floor. Sticking to my feet when I forget to put my house sandals on when I get up. I am a neatnik or so I think. Anyways I got it all done. Wore my new expensive special order back brace covered by insurance. Alright. Anyway.
I got to groom and pluck and hold HB. HE was happy…. Well…. it goes downhill from here. I have a laundry I need to do. I stick it in the laundry bag and roll it down the stairs heheee then into a shopping cart. However ..that is going to get done another day…. anyhoo…
I am in a lot of pain. My left leg I must have hurt the muscle under my left knee. My right knee is the one with the torn cartilidge. The one the ins. doesn’t cover the synvics injections on. So… When I hurt I guess I get distracted and drop stuff…. That really really frustrates me cause my back I am supposed to squat to pick stuff up. However my knee I am not supposed to squat cause they wear out and hurt too… GRRRRR. So of course I drop lots of stuff today. I have a grabber to pick stuff up with so that helps. What is funny I had to unclog the vac tube so I took it off the hose and the hose sucked itself to my shorts so that was 1 less thing I had to pick up. I left it there til I unclogged the tube hehehe. I cleaned all the litterboxes 5 and 2 cages.
I go rest. Get upset cause I hurt. I get up to go to the store oh my I can hardly walk down the stairs. I am so frustrated with pain all the doggone time. I have pills and patches. Well I come back from the store and realize I forgot to take my meds. 1 hour late. well no wonder. Agh.
My friend talked me into going to the masjid last nite. I went. Being in pain I am grumpy tho. It is very crowded being the weekend and people all over the place. I go in n out the kitchen door and these stupid idiots this lady parks her 5 little kids at the doggone door to feed them and us going in n out the kitchen with hot tea , and food trying to get thru the door and over this lady and her kids. Ohhh I almost went off.
I am down today cause I hurt and it gets frustrating. I still need to groom Cotton and Ruby and vac the front porch and the laundry. I get melancholic and don’t know what I want i get depressed actually. I see people older than me senior citizens in better shape. I am trying to lose weight how can I lose weight if I can’t walk it off. I could just sit here and cry.
Then of all things when I went to the store I got a tiramisu. Like I need that. I think I will stay home tonite and rest that other leg. If I go to the masjid tonite and that idiot sits her kids in front of that door again I am going to explode on her. I think I should just stay home I have no patience for people’s stupidity when I am in pain.
I am watching a somewhat funny show dead at 17 on lmn. Has anyone seen Minnie’s First Time. That was funny. I will tell you about it sometime. Yeah some of those lmn shows I get a laugh out of. Others I cannot stomache. Anyhoo. Hopefully I will perk up soon.
the best thing of my whole day so far…. I was lying on the couch and Cotton came up twice on me to be petted. HE hardly ever does that. Cool. Thanks Cotton
i hear you BT. chronic pain sucks. and it’s very easy to get depressed b/c of it. esp when you see healthy people doing their thing. anything i do i have to think about what toll it will have on my back. it’s been very bad the past two weeks, i’ve started having back spasms out of nowhere. all i’ve been able to do is the minimum, but at least everyone is cared for, even if the house isn’t spotless.
True that is most important everyone being cared for. I cleaned and already have litter hay and stray poops about. Oh well… At least they are happy. This could be the weather too. Was supposed to be raining for the next few days. Once the rain comes it will be alright.
We’ve got snow hitting the last few days. It doesn’t stick, but the drop in temps and the low air pressure is murder on me and my husband’s backs. You know when bad weather is coming. Pfft! I’d rather NOT know, thank you very much!
You are in my prayers, BT. Not only for your back, but that you meet no more stupid people. Nobody needs that.
Ah, Cotton Boo! When the bunnies come and ask for or give us love, how can the day be anything but good, yes? ^_^ Soak up that love!
Ahh things are better today. I got up and my left leg hurt ahahahaa. I could hardly walk. I took my meds and moved around some and it loosened up. Must have pulled something..
Did the laundry tho. And the buns were great today. My little lovelies. I love it when Ruby comes up and bumps me. She is a little cutie. They let me know when it was time to eat. Cotton jumps on the container and looks at me. Ruby looks too.
I take her to her house to eat her food and Cotton eats in his. That way I can kind of tell if they ate and if it was hay pellets or just the pellets.
I discovered I can’t give ruby cilantro or parsley she gets bladder sludge poor thing. When they get their greens they are seperated for the nite so she doesn’t eat the bad stuff. HB knows when his feed time is too. He will make racket with the baby gate. Rascal.![]()
Glad you are feeling a little better BT! Try to rest as much as you can. Guilt the hubbie into taking care of HB again! Can you find a local pool to move around in? It’s supposed to be a great low-impact form of exercise…
Mimsmum do you feel better? The unsticky snow left? Yea I would rather watch the clouds or weather forecast myself instead of our alternative. ![]()
Ah, thanks BT, yes I am o.k. I did have to use some painkillers last night and they gave me terrible nightmares. 0_o I think I’ll just live with the pain.
Nope, snow is still here. And will be now until April. It’s getting terribly cold.
I just don’t do well with the cold anymore…brrrr! >.<
Oh chronic pain is horrible! It does just awful things to your mood- and then feeling depressed can make the pain worse and it’s hard not to get stuck in a bad cycle!! I hope you feel better soon! The idea about the pool is a good one- even if you aren’t a good swimmer (I’m really bad!) you can always jump in and just use a kickboard to do a few laps which is better than nothing and a lot easier on your joints than walking!
I get really embarrassed going to a pool these days.
I just can’t find a suit to cover it all. (stupid Alaskan stores…hmph)
I remember when I didn’t have to worry about it. *sigh* But I do love swimming.
You know something. I used to use a snorkel and do laps in a pool. There is a pool not so far from here. i can walk there. I need a snorkel tho. I doubt I will get one b4 December. I used it so I wouldn’t hurt my neck moving my head to catch air. I have a slight disc problem in the neck.
The pool here I can wear knit pants and a long sleeve shirt. As I am Muslim and cover. Though the close do cling when wet. Hey at least I can go in and take exercise in the pool. Dang I keep forgetting to get the snorkel to.
The pool you pay 2.00 a day and there are certain times you go and just do laps the pool is rigged for laps. Also a time for general swimming and kicking around unorganized swimming I think they call it then a time for kids too.
Can’t beleive I forgot about that. I love to swim I used to boogeyboard til back surgery. I have definitely lost my stamina I tell you. Went out in rough surf when relatives visited. I remembered the routine to get in against the waves and to body surf. But gosh I was so outta shape huffing and puffing when I walked back to our spot. Embarrassing now wonder I gained so much weight. I used to go out quite often. Oh well there are other alternatives that are just as much fun and great exercise.
