Went to see Dr. P today. He is such a caring person. Danny went with me to meet him. He has decided to change and start using Dr. P as well. It's much closer to drive to with no traffic. The staff is so nice. They don't have a lab on site but I really like the lab at Volvo Parkway. No wait and they do everything except MRIs. Not many labs do that anyway.
Dr. P has given me some medicine for pain and for the overwhelming depression that it has led to. I have little hope of ever getting better and sometimes that thought makes me so sad. I know I should be grateful; I'm not in a wheelchair and never miss a meal, but I feel like life is passing me by and all I can do is watch. Maybe these meds will help in both areas. If the pain goes down maybe I can sleep again; if I sleep again maybe I can wake up ready to face a new day. Let's hope so. I had so many things I never got to finish doing, like flower beds needing weeded. This is the first year I haven't cut the grass.
I need to go do my arm exercises that the therapist gave me. I did the "hanging your arm down" one yesterday and I thought my arm was falling off, it hurt so bad. I'm sure that's why I had trouble sleeping last night.
Dan needs to make an appointment and get over this cold that is bothering him. Mom and Dad seem to have the same thing. It just lingers and is exhausting, coughing all the times.
He is all set to start working as a marine mechanic on June 25. He's busy getting his tool box ready to go. He has a lot of unfinished projects he had hoped to get done before working again. Being sick has thrown his schedule off.
