Yesterday and today.

Yesterday was so stressful and a wash.  We had to go get our blood drawn.  Medicare tossed out three tests one on my prostate, my A1C, and a lipid.  All the tests together were over $400, and I refused to pay for them.  Then we went out for breakfast.  Ron was fading but we hoped food would boost him.  It did.  Next we went to our local Publix and got a few things for supper.  I would make a marinara sauce and Ron would take some chicken breasts, coat them in breading and cook them with Pepper Jack and swiss cheeses.  Then after shopping we went to the carwash next door for a $36 carwash.  Then we came home about 1 and I was just able to lock in the free full The Majority Report.   Then he wanted to nap but once in bed we couldn’t find his phone so he could listen to music.  I searched everywhere and then tried to ping it.  The ping wouldn’t work which was odd.  It would start to then shut off.   Which meant someone had shut the phone off each time.  I had Ron use my phone to call the diner and yes it was there.   So at 1:30 pm I drove him back to the restaurant to get his phone.  He was lucky this time.  I did not see him put it down, he claims it must have fallen out of his pocket, I lets say I am skeptical.  Remember I still had laundry to do, dishes to wash, and Ron wanted me to make a sauce.  Because of everything I never started making the sauce until 4:30 which is late because it has no time to simmer.  I was limping badly and couldn’t trust my right leg to stand.  This morning I got us up at 5:15 am and got him in the shower.  He has the important heart doctor appointment.  I then took mine.  While in the shower I realized as a new patient he would have a bunch of forms and history to fill out.  But he couldn’t get to them because you have to be in their system already in the patient portal to even get to the new patient forms.  So I rushed to print all the forms and 6 page questionnaire for him.  He had just enough time to finish them and now in three minutes we have to go.  Sorry for the rushed explanation and for not getting to any comments.  I fell into bed right after eating in a lot of pain.  My labs are horrible claiming stress and immune failure and possible kidney failure.  My body cannot handle stress and I am under a lot of it.  Hugs

One thought on “Yesterday and today.

  1. This sounds harrowing, Scottie. I’ve had a busy week with appointments myself, but everytime I think it’s been too busy a week, I purposely think of you, because I know even though stressful, you’re doing it all and handling it like a champ, same as you did while Ron was in TX. You’ve got this, Scottie. Just let yourself do what you do in the best way for you.

    Maybe that’ll help, anyway!
