It’s Monday

I don’t really have much to report today. I did some reorders for work, spoke with my boss and assistant. Not too busy today. I had Physical Therapy. Did some more exercises to strengthen. I have an MRI of my spine tomorrow morning. They say scanxiety is a thing and it is. I’m not sure why they want to see my spine, maybe to see if the tumor is spreading south of the stem, but I will just go with the flow.

I had a delicious turkey sandwich today with some chips and queso. Kind of a boring day, but I will take it. Boring non eventful days are mundane but have their place in life. Keeps me grounded. I’m thankful I wasn’t overwhelmed with appointments or anything of the like. I took a nap this afternoon after PT. I was exhausted.

The double vision seems to be slowly subsiding. Instead of seeing two tv’s stacked on top of each other, I just see
1 1/3 when I don’t wear the patch. My unsteadiness is still there. I’m hoping it will go away soon or get back to pre-biopsy status. I could manage that much easier than now. What’s weird now is over the past couple days, my teeth are much more sensitive to cold temps with icy drinks etc.

Chip was a brat today, each time the litter robot cycles, he likes to investigate it and smack the waste that falls throught the hole. Sometimes I can’t stand him. He doesn’t listen. What cat really does? He has the most selective hearing. I gently nudge him with the cane to get him away from interrupting the litter cycle. It’s annoying.

Pancake stayed away for the most part. He checked on me a couple of times. Usually, he eats all of his brother’s food from the dish, but not today. He won’t eat from a bowl like Chip’s if it is where his goes, He likes his baby bowl on his lilypad tray. We have tried to make him a new dish like Chip’s but he refuses to eat it unless it’s his brother’s bowl. Such weird beasts.

I dropped a couple things between the couch cushion. That annoyed me to no end. Mainly because I can’t get down on the floor to retrieve things just yet. So I asked my wife to get them. I hate asking for things but she is such a great help.

I requested a couple of meds refilled through my patient portal on my app for the treatment center. It was easy but navigating the request was a pain in the butt because they want you to select which doc ordered the meds and the ordering doctor wasn’t selectable on the portal. Dumb. So I sent them through to my oncologist. Hopefully she will fill them. Mainly my stool softener, I took the last one this morning.

The egg bites I made were amazing, however I forgot to add the cornstarch to the mixture. I think that will help with the texture of the bites themselves. The flavor was amazing. Normally the 2 bites from Costco are 7 points on my Weight Watcher tracking app. According to this recipe I can have 3 for 3 points. More protein, less fat. I ate some cookies today. Probably shouldn’t have. I feel like a chunk doggin. I weighed myself this afternoon and was still 198lbs. Damn those hospital scales, I know my weight.

Tonight we finished the stuffed peppers. They were as delicious as I reported before. I made a spinach salad to go with it. I bathed early so I didn’t have to after dinner. Got that out of the way. Now I can relax with my bratty baby Chip. Again thank you for stopping by to read about my day.
