I had an 8 am appointment with my doctor--Ingrid picked me up and dropped me off. She went to the grocery store while I was at the doctor's. I have some sort of dermititis on my face that makes me look like I have been doing some heavy meth abuse. Dr. W. advised me to put some 1% over-the-counter hydrocortizone cream on it twice a day. I have a giant cold sore on my lower lip that is sore as hell. I have some sort of prescription cold-sore ointment for that.
I have been cleaning, which stirs up dust and asian beetle corpses, both of which I am allergic to, so my eyes are all red and itchy and watery, so it looks like I've been smoking weed for several hours a day as well.
Sigh.
Dr. W. and I talked about my knee--she approves of the cane. She gave me some tylenol with codiene in it, so yay! Hopefully I will be able to withstand a full grocery shopping expedition in the near future, but I am not supposed to drive while taking it, so I will have to find someone willing to take me to the store. Or else, I will just drive anyhow and throw caution to the winds.
I am set up to have another injection in my knee next week. I am hoping this one will work as well as the last one did. Now that I have the cane and the pain meds, I should be able to go a while with it. I will also investigate this thing in St. Cloud and see what's up with that.
Dr. W. thinks it is good to put off the knee replacement surgery for a while--I told her I want to lose some weight before having it done. She said everything will go much better if I can do that.
After Christmas, I will get my poop in a pile and figure out what I need to do and get in order to be ready to start eating properly again.
Sigh. I hate it when my whole life has to be centered around what I have to eat and how I have to cook it.
Too bad Seattle Sutton turned out to suck.
So, anyhow...after my doctor's visit, Ingrid picked me up. We dropped off my prescriptions. and then we went for breakfast at Daniels. I had my favorite--the rancher's breakfast--two eggs, over easy, limp bacon, crisp hash browns, and whole wheat toast. And a cup of tea with honey and cream. Yummy. Hot tea with honey and cream in it is about as nice as nice gets.
After breakfast, Ingrid dropped me at Erdmans so I could pick up a couple of things. I needed another bag of candy for my niece Sadie Lou's Christmas present.
We picked up my prescriptions after that, and then Ingrid dropped me off at home. I was tired and my feet were freezing, so I went upstairs and crawled under the covers till I was warmed up. I played Sims for a little while, then I took a little nap.
When I woke up, I went downstairs and wrapped presents. Everything is wrapped now with the exception of Cora's Webkin which is at mom's house. I got her some of her "chocolate balls" that she loves so much. I wrapped Jim and DeAnn's and Swayze's gifts and called their house to see if they'd be through town tomorrow. They can pick up their prezzies when they pass through. I may ask Jim if he will carry my big laundry basket of presents out to my car and put it in the trunk for me. Walking is hard enough with the cane. I don't want to fall down carrying crap to the car.
I am going to try to get up uber early tomorrow as I have trash to take to the curb--and it is stinky stuff, so I want it out of my house. I can't put it out at night as animals get into it and spread it all over the freaking place.
I have some shriveled apples that I had intended to cut up for the birds today, but I didn't get around to it, so I will do it tomorrow instead.
I went through a bunch of doll clothes and sorted some out for my cousin Jim's little girl Cynthia. I gave her some Barbies last week. I have a lot more crap to sort through. I am sure I will find a bunch of stuff to give the little punkin.
I also cleared off my dining room table and sorted my laundry.
That's about the extent of my efforts today.
Tomorrow I have to be much more productive. I need to bake some cookies, make cornflake wreaths, and dip pretzels. I also want to do the laundry, vaccuum the downstairs, pay bills, and sweep and scrub the kitchen.
Ugh.
Too much to do.
Oh, and as an added bonus--it is supposed to snow another 3-6" tomorrow. whoopee.
