I drove over to Walmart this afternoon and got a lot of groceries. It was very tiring walking around and I felt kind of weak but I did okay. I still can't push too much with my bad hand but I do hold on to the cart. I hate those heavy carts over there. My legs were a little weak today. I think it comes from my tumor. Seems when I'm having more aches in my rectum my legs feel weaker. I have read where rectal tumors can push on nerves to the legs. I sure don't need that!
I can't take my little cart out to the car with me when I go grocery shopping now. I used to fold it up and throw it in the back seat so when I got home I'd just take it out and load the groceries in it to bring in the house. But with my bad hand I have to come inside to get it now and then go back out to get my groceries from the trunk. had to make two trips today because I bought more than usual so I won't have to go again for another two weeks maybe.
When I woke up this morning my fingers were so sore and I could hardly open them. I've never had arthritis but I sure feel like I do now. I think I need to wear some sort of a brace to bed so my hand won't fall in the wrong position. It is so sore around the wrist area. Tonight it's aching like crazy but I won't take anything for it. I'll put up with the pain.
I am so tired. I think I will be in bed by 9 pm tonight. I never sleep well. Wish I could. I drink a cup of Camomile tea at night but it doesn't seem to help me.
I ordered a twin size bed frame and it came already. I need to get rid of this queen size bed of mine so I will have room in my bedroom for the scooter if I need it. For now I am going to use an air mattress on it. It's one of those frames that works as a box spring also. Had to order twin size sheets too. If I don't like the air mattress then I'll get a regular mattress. But I do think the air one will be more comfortable. I am so uncomfortable all the time on the this old one I have, even with three foam pads on it.
I am going to ask my brothers if they will take my mattress and box spring and frame to the dump next week sometime. It will seem funny sleeping on a twin size bed after sleeping on a queen size for over 30 years or longer. Hope I don't fall off the damn thing..Ha! Ha! I do toss and turn a lot.
At least getting rid of that big bed will be one less thing my family will have to worry about when I die. I am slowly getting rid of all the heavy stuff in my apartment. I've been cleaning out my closets too and getting rid of a lot of clothes. I lost so much weight that they don't fit me any more anyway. I gave Debby some the other day. Got some shoes too. Guess they will go to the Salvation Army. I wear size 8 and 8 1/2 wide and everyone seems to have either small feet or large.
I can't type any more. My wrist is killing me. Good night.
