It was sunny today but only in the teens. I almost thought I'd go out but then decided not to. I'll wait for a warmer day. I had gone out the other day to Walmart because I was running low on my Olive Oil. I use it in everything to keep my Gall Bladder from acting up. It works too. I haven't had a problem for a year and a half now. I read online how to take care of that.
Anyway, yesterday I went into my cupboard looking for the olive oil and it was nowhere to be found. Then I remembered I had bought another box of green tea also and I couldn't find that. It's then that I realized that I might have forgotten a bag when I left Walmart. I called their service department and it was there. So now I have to go back and get the credit for those two items and buy them all over again. They don't keep your bags behind the desk. That's why I wanted to go out today. I have just enough olive oil for one more day. But I do have a little gift bottle of olive oil mixed with lemon. It's not the same but maybe it would work. I only use extra virgin olive oil. I'll live..Ha! Ha!
A crew of men have been knocking the ice off the roof here and shoveling snow off. It was starting to get bad. So many huge icicles hanging. They are dangerous.
I got samples from two different companies in the mail today. The flanges and bags that I need for my colostomy. I'm anxious to try them. One company is from the UK though so I guess I'd never be able to get Medicare to pay for them. The Salts Healthcare Company. They sent me a lot of samples to try. The other company is called Nuhope and they are from CA. They have the deeper convex bags but theirs are one piece but very soft and comfortable because the flanges are only made from a foam material. Not hard like I have been using. I'm alway willing to try new ones in case I finally find something that will work. I had to change my flange again yesterday morning. I made it last two days but it's not good to do that when I can feel the sting. I am all irritated around my Stoma. So tomorrow morning this one will be on two days and so far I don't feel the stinging like I did before but I know it's still irritated because I can see my skin where it didn't stick around it when I take the bag off to clean it. So I will probably be changing it again in the morning. I'm still using the Coloplast ones. That girl will be calling me tomorrow to see how everything is going. She calls me every Friday. That company is trying their best to help me. Very helpful. None of the other ones are. So that is what is going on with that part of me..
My right hand is really bothering me today. The top of it itches. I'm not sure why it does that but every now and then it will bother me like that. The bones hurt and the hand is stiff. Breaking that wrist sure left a lot of problems. Guess I should have let them break the bone again and reset it. But I still think I broke one of the bones on top of my hand and they never addressed that part. My hand folded under me when I fell onto that cement floor making that area the worst to be injured.
My left knee and leg hurts all the time. I ordered a new pair of slippers and sneakers. maybe that will help. But I still have to put all my home made lifts in that shoe to keep my foot from falling over. It's just too much pressure on my leg. That's why I am using my walker all the time now. been using it since I broke my wrist exactly one year ago today. I can't take a chance on falling again. it's so scary, especially when I can't get up off the floor if I do.
And I still get these weird feelings in my head when I'm sitting here in this computer chair. The circulation is getting cut off in my leg area I think. I try to put one of my legs up on the bed while I'm sitting here. My computer desk is next to my bed. But I'm still feeling pretty good!!
I saw a lot of deer out here around 5:15 tonight!!! A few of them were right outside my window on top of the rock wall. I tried to get some clear shots of them but they keep moving all the time and it was hard but I did get quite a few pictures. hopefully they will come again and one of these days I'll get my perfect photo. It's staying light out longer now so each night will be better for taking photos through my window.
I am going to bed now. Take care everyone.
Aren't they beautiful!!
