Cloudy out there this morning. No snow yet. But it's supposed to sometime today. But at least it's warmer! It's 28 degrees!! They say we might get into the lower 40's by the end of next week!! It will seem like spring after all this below zero weather we've been having.
The new flange is still holding up okay. It's the one from the NuHope Company out of CA. I was a bit worried because it's only foam but it's real comfortable. And it has the deepest convex I've ever had so far. I didn't use any seals on it either just to see how long it would last. Although I am still irritated around my stoma. I did put some of the stoma powder on just once and dabbed it with the skin barrier wipe before applying the flange. I sure have enough samples now to try. But I'm still looking for that right one. And when I do find the right one I hope that medicare will pay for them. I'd be so pissed if I finally found something that works and then Medicare wouldn't pay for it.
I have a bad back ache this morning and can't walk very well. Must be from going out yesterday. I did try to shovel some of the snow and I couldn't get at it very well. It's all packed in around my car this time. That guy upstairs wiped all the snow off but then left it all around the car. And Mark didn't get around to snow blowing between them because he's been chopping ice from the roofs. They finally got a couple men to help him shovel the snow off the roof the past two days. Now I have a hill outside my living room window.. I don't throw the seeds and nuts on top of it because the Hawk would have clear sailing at them so I still throw it along the edge of the building and out my bedroom window. That hawk is out here all the time now.
I ran out of salt to put around my car but figured it would be getting warmer anyway so it should all melt away around it in a few days. I had a hard time pushing my cart through the snow to get up onto the sidewalk and I think that is how I hurt my back. It will be okay by tomorrow I hope.
I'm still having those weird feelings in my head. I think my blood vessels are screwing up. And my left leg hurts, especially around the knee. It's real bad today. That's from all the walking I did also. I think I have a blood clot in my leg. It's been having a pain in the same spot for a couple years but it's getting worse. I guess all kinds of things might start happening to me with this cancer in my liver. That area behind the liver in my back bothers me more now. I feel it more when I lie down at night and there's been a bulge in that area for a couple years. I and the doctors never seem to know what it is. I told them it's probably from my crooked spine and they always agreed but I never had any x-rays. But I would think the cat Scan would have shown that. Maybe not because they were only doing the lower half of my body. I'm not going to worry about it. I'd be lucky to die suddenly from a heart attack than suffer the last days from the cancer.
What a day in history for the Egyptians yesterday!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
I was so happy to see the deer come down earlier last night. They were all out there at 4:30. Got some better pictures.
