Wednesday, 30 June, 2004. I cheated. I peeked at yesterday.
Sharon, Moonchime, Tam, TxRiss, Jael, Floppsy --
Thank you, Sisters, for all your love and support and prayers and hugs in your comments on my journal entries for yesterday! It was a bad day...
Today -- tonight, actually -- is much better than yesterday was. Finally, at long last, I have my breakthrough medicine again. I feel like a whole different person! I don't feel like I'm on the verge of tears, for a change. I feel like I can actually handle packing tomorrow for our weekend!
Last evening after my last entry (I just slammed in, typed furiously, and left the internet) I put in my old Diablo disc and killed some monsters. (I think my Diablo 2 disc is in my computer, which still isn't hooked up [I've been using DH's] -- good thing, or I would only have been playing D2 and never would've found hystersisters to begin with LOL!) That's what we call it... "What'cha doin' honey?" DH will ask. "Oh, killing monsters!" I reply. I hope I am not shocking anyone's preconceived notion of me. Yeah, it's violence...
Well, this morning after Dr. Janet's nurse called me back and DH called to get directions for his driver at work to pick up the Rxs for me, I killed a few monsters, did exercises, had breakfast, checked the news, killed a few more monsters, ate a few Triscuits with cream cheese, did exercises, and fell into a deep, deep sleep until DH came home around 6-ish.
I unwrapped my leg a few minutes ago because it was so uncomfortable -- my foot is swollen. I had that long nap, but I guess I've been sitting too much without keeping it elevated even though I've had the compression bandages on. The whole leg is just Bothering me in general, but at least that horrible nerve pain is calming down now. Looking forward to the motel swimming pool (outdoor). I'm hoping for nice weather! The wedding will be outdoors, too.
Tomorrow I'll be packing and will go get a wedding present, too. They're registered at Bed Bath & Beyond and arano wasn't exactly excited about going there -- luckily, I checked their website -- they updated their registry to include Lowes (which just moved into town here) and with the suggestions they added, I think I can find something nice and affordable closer to home. They were sufficiently vague about their Lowes suggestions, not having formally registered there, that I think I can go to Target instead, and still get them something they will really like. One of the things they suggested was cloth table napkins -- and they didn't specify a particular brand or color scheme or print. (I know my way around Target, and they have really nice cloth table napkins, and they used to have some really cool napkin rings also.) Wish I had a bigger budget.
I feel so much better now that the second dose of the breakthrough medicine has kicked in! Finally! I hope it will also make me feel like sleeping some more...that was a Long afternoon "nap!"
Lots of love,
=empresse
