May 6, 2010


Seems I feel okay for one day and then the next I don't. It's my cancer that bothers me and keeps me from doing things. My shoulder bothers me still but I can deal with that and my hand still doesn't work right. My fingers are getting stronger though. Just can't use that hand in any twisting motions. I can't make a tight fist yet either. The fingers still hurt real bad in the mornings. Other than all these irritations I am doing okay.
I've gone out twice this week. Monday and Wednesday. Those are the days I felt better. I try to turn my car key but still can't without it hurting so am still using my left hand to do that and shift.
My muffler is starting to go now on the car. I hope I feel good enough to take it in the shop and wait for them to put a new one on. It's one of those guaranteed ones so it won't cost me anything much for it. Just labor. That seems to go every two years. I got the pipes last time so shouldn't need any. I'm still debating if I should just give up having a car. I know it won't pass inspection unless I can get someone in the family to look at the wiring. Maybe it just is grounding out somewhere to make those signal fuses blow all the time. And I don't have any back up lights now either. I don't dare go out at night even though my lights are working for the moment.
I'm still not sleeping too well on the new mattress. I put that foam thing on but the it's one of those egg crate things and the little bumps were bothering me. I turned it over this morning to the flat side and will see how that works. At least I haven't fallen off..Ha! Ha!
It stormed during the night. I like the lightening. Then it cleared up today and was nice, but cooler and real windy. I didn't go out of my apartment though. I was aching too much. I don't like the fact that I'm bleeding every day. Not a lot but enough. So I started taking my herbal iron again even though it feeds fungus. But I don't want to get weak and anemic again. Still trying to do the baking soda enema at least every other day. I don't think I'm doing enough though to really wash that tumor. Guess in the end it will still get me anyway. Just a matter of when and how long I have.
I've only seen the one baby squirrel every day. Haven't seen the other one again. He probably has gotten killed already. I enjoy watching him. He's so cute.
Watching the foxes every evening also.
Not much to report so I'll sign off. I'm getting tired of typing and sitting here. Take care everyone.

Such a lot to put up with, Ginny! It seems so terribly unfair...

Try and hang on to your car, at least it gives you some independence. I don't drive but wish I did, I never had the confidence.

Hope you are getting used to the new bed and not falling out :)

I will try to hang on to my car. I really would miss going to the stores myself. I want to do that as long as I possibly can. In the summer I like to take a ride now and then even if it's just to the next town and back. I've been driving since I was 17.
I haven't fallen out of the bed and now I am used to it and sleeping better. Thanks Jan. Hope you are well. Hugs!!
