March 1, 2010

Haven't felt that great today. My rectum has been aching and that pain in my back bothers me a lot. Maybe it's my Gall Bladder acting up again. Not sure.Anyway, I got my commode and transfer chair delivered today at 5:30 from Lennox Pharmacy. I dragged the commode into the bathroom but realized I had to take my seat cover off my toilet for it to fit. What a time unscrewing those long screws with one hand. They are real long because I also have that 4 inch seat riser on it. But I finally got them off and got the commode situated over the toilet. So much easier getting up now. My left shoulder needed a rest.
I won't put the transfer seat in the bathroom till I get this cast off and get my hand held shower head installed. That seat is quite large. I don't know how I'm going to handle that with my turtle sharing the tub. I really need to find a new home for him. I wish the zoo had an indoor pond that was warm and would take him. I'll have to call them soon. I will miss Jasper. I've had him for 15 years and he's so used to me. But I just can't take care of him any more. I'd never give him to a kid. Kids don't know how to take care of them.
This is the first I've been on the computer today. I'm not comfortable in my chair here with my wrist and my back pain. I've been watching more TV lately.
I never did get a call from the wheelchair lady. Maybe tomorrow.

That is a lovely photo of you and your granddaughter on the previous post Ginny, you do look very well. People used to say that to my Dad when he was ill and he always replied that his looks didn't pity him!

I do hope you get the wheelchair before too long. Your line about sharing your bath with the turtle stopped me in my tracks! I hadn't realised that and it has made me smile :)

I hope the pain eases off soon Ginny...Hugs!

Thanks for always leaving a comment Jan. I have not been leaving comments on other posts lately. I can't seem to sit long. I get my blog done but am always aching by the time I'm done. I'm back to bleeding again. Wish that enema syringe would get here so I can start the baking soda again. It's been 20 days since I last had one and I can tell. At least I think it keeps the tumor at bay when I do it. One day at a time. Take care Jan. Big hugs.
