Wednesday, nice and slow, but uneventful

Today was good. My mom came up and hungout today. She brought a couple of meals for us so we wouldn’t have to cook. I can’t wait to try them. I got up early as I do, had breakfast and coffee. Started my morning. Watched the news and then some old shows.

Lunch was good with mom, I had some teriyaki chicken. All protein, no points on my WW app. Had a snack of some peanut butter crackers. No cookies today. My weight is the same. I tried sending over my RX refill request again for my stool softeners but the drs aren’t sending it through to my pharmacy. Idk what’s up with that. It’s not like it’s a narcotic, it just helps me poo. Come on y’all. Send it through.

The occupational therapist never called last night to confirm a time for today. This is two weeks now. I sure hope you aren’t billing my insurance for appointments you don’t keep. That would upset me. I bathed and shaved when I figured she wasn’t coming.

I received a cross body bag from Amazon today. Better than a fanny pack. It seems nice to carry things to appointments instead of a bag or filling my pockets with things. I’ll likely use this Friday for my next appointment with the Neuro Oncologist and the Neuro Surgeon.

I read my MRI report on my patient portal today. No mass in the spine or spread from the tumor. That’s good news. I’ll take any win I can get right now.

I dozed off when mom was here. She said I was snoring so loud lol. She said I got it from her haha. She then had to leave to pick up my nephew from school. I told her to let me know she got there safe because it’s over an hour away. I worry when my family leaves, be it my wife, mother or others. I just want to know they get safely to their destinations.

So a lot of hurry up and wait again today. For what though? Not too much I’d say. I was hoping the OT would come through but that didn’t happen. Tomorrow I’m supposed to have Physical Therapy come out and do more exercises. We’ll see if they show up. Same company as the OT but this guy comes through fine and keeps appointments/heck he even tries to come early if there are cancellations. The OT on the other hand, goodness.

Now I’m just waiting for my wife to get home so we can have dinner and relax from the day. I’m getting around the house easier the last couple days. I’m still on my cane as it helps me with balance but I am finding it easier as the days go on. My vision hasn’t improved too much. A little bit but not enough to not have the patch. Sometimes I take off the patch to see how I can see. Still double but not like last week.

Chip was in and out checking on me today. After mom left he inspected where she sat and sniffed around. He climbed on me and got his rubs in. He licked my leg after my bath. Pancake kept his distance from the hall. He watched over us but never really came in the room except to use the litter robot. Then promptly left. He is such a brat to me at times. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

We’ve been debating on doing a bath refit to make it easier for me to get in and out of the shower as a tub is not too safe at the moment. I keep seeing all kinds of ads for it on my FB and on my TV. It’s like the algorithm knows what I want done.

I’m so far behind on podcasts. This was something I enjoyed prior to my diagnosis. I feel like I won’t be able to climb out of the podcast deficit hole. Too far behind on episodes of my favs. Oh well. I’ll just pick and choose which ones to listen to.

I need some bananas. I have two left. We will be out tomorrow. These are small things I know, but I like to have a bunch of them around so I don’t have to worry about little things like a banana. I love having a banana with breakfast. I’ll just order them on Costco or something.

Not a really eventful day today. I don’t mind slow days. They just drag on. I miss my regular days, work, home, cooking etc. Prior to this, on Wednesdays, I would deliver goods to our sister store in another town. Now I’m not.

Have a good night friends, thank you for stopping by.
