My hand is still very stiff and my fingers feel stiffer more each day. Can't figure that out because I'm exercising them and using them every day as much as I can. I still can't close my hand all the way. When I try it really hurts on top of my hand. And it's still hurting under my wrist also. Can't see the tendons at all on the underside like I can on my other hand. The bone keeps snapping on the outer side of that hand also. It's probably the ligament but it feels terrible and hurts when it does that. My arm hurts up to the elbow. But that is from weak muscles I think. I can't lift anything too heavy yet. Not even a full cup of tea. But a half cup I can.
I would really like to go out to the store with my car but now I'm afraid to because of the metal piece rubbing on my wheel. I'm afraid if might break more. I was just lucky Friday when I drove it. I haven't looked under the hood yet because I can't lift it. I'm waiting for the maintenance man to show up so I can ask him to look at it. He always wants old cars so if I have to get rid of mine I'll give it to him. Then I'll never have another one. I can't afford a car and can't afford to repair this one. So I guess my driving days are coming to an end.
I quit eating candy again. I started to feel bad. Too much sugar. And I can't take a chance with my rectal tumor either. I've got to keep it under control as much as possible.
My doctor sent me the results of my cholesterol test. It's at 300 now! In Sept. it was 274. Maybe it's all the eggs and real butter I'm eating now. Not sure. I used to get it down from not eating sugar but of course I was eating these chocolates for a week before the test. Now I wish I hadn't eaten any. The Dr. wants to put me on Statin drugs but of course I will never do that! They have bad side effects and my legs are weak enough without those drugs making my muscles weaker and irritating my already bad liver. I'll be dying from this cancer before any high cholesterol gets me. They always want to stick you on drugs right away. It's no use going to the doctor's really. The only drug I'll take is when I'm on my deathbed and in a lot of pain and really need them.
On a brighter side, it is a beautiful, sunny day here in Central NY!! I might go outside a bit on the sidewalk with my walker today. Just to get some fresh air and some sun.
Have a nice day everyone.
