adventures

I'm getting a cortisone injection in my jaw. I've got bad TMJ and we think it's causing my migraines but we don't know for sure. So we're trying an experiment.

My partner is going with me to the appointment. The doctor I'm seeing is her doctor also. He's decided since he's struggling with being paid for his service he's going to charge his patients to have him as their doctor and I can't afford his fee. But he's still going to do my injections and procedures. I just gotta see the other providers for meds refills. So annoying. And I had medical trauma so it was a big deal to find a doctor I could trust. He's been my doctor for about 8 years.

My tummy really hurts. I ate too much. I've got bubble guts again. If bad for me foods are bad for me, why must they be delicious?

I'm sitting with my partner playing online while she tweezes her legs. I suggested we get some gorilla tape and she wasn't exactly onboard. She always shoots down my ideas.

So the injection is tomorrow, Thursday I have therapy, and Friday I'm going on an adventure with my BHH nutritionist. We're going to my favorite donut shop at 9am. I'm gonna treat myself to half a dozen of my favorite donuts. Then we're going to Aldi for groceries. If we have time I want to stop at trader Joe's for some lavender blueberry almond milk so I can make one of my favorite tea. It's a blueberry rooibos tea. I want to introduce my partner to good tea.

Then on Sunday we're going out with my QPP to go to the cookie crawl event. After that I'm hoping to go get bubble tea and lunch. It's supposed to be my birthday party but I didn't get anything for the party. So it's an adventure day with my people. It'll be nice. I didn't get to go to the cider mill this year but the place with the cookies has a store with all of the yummy treats from the mill. So maybe I'll get me some cider donuts!

I feel awful. I've been staying up too late just so I can spend time with her but she spends hours each day plucking her leg hair out. She has horrible OCD and she's on meds for it but clearly it's not working. And when she's not plucking out hair she's busy working on her computer. So I don't get much quality time with her and she never wants to go out. I haven't been out for fun activities in 4 months. I've got cabin fever. I want to go explore my city's downtown.

Pain just spiked to 7. Fun times. My tummy is making horrible scary sounds.

I thought yesterday was Friday. Now I'm all discombobulated. I hope I can get out tomorrow for an adventure with my caregiver. I gotta check the forecast for the weekend. I want to explore downtown. There's a lot of fun things to do. There's a quaint coffee shop that has excellent sandwiches. There's also a theater venue where I got to see my favorite poet in person a few years ago. I think there's an antique store there also. I know there's a haunted house/escape room venue there. It might be a fun little adventure.

In a week I'm going with my ex girlfriend to watch the new Deadpool movie. I love comic books and movie adaptations. I especially love Deadpool. Then I plan to ask my other queerplatonic partner if he's available to go out for dinner sometime soon. Then I'm gonna get my hair cut so I look good for con which I leave for in one month from tomorrow! I'm so excited! The theme of the con this year is the roaring 20s. There's going to be so much to do. I'll be volunteering in the game room cuz I can sit while I'm there. I'll have a wheelchair so I won't be in pain like last time. And oh gosh I'm spending the whole week after con with my girlfriend and her husband. So many adventures together to look forward to! I'm hoping to go wander around the antique mall. I'm always looking for old hat boxes. I'm gonna be a busy puppy. Then after the dust settles I gotta make an appointment with my doctor for injections in my jaw and hips. I don't know what I'll do about transportation though. I'm sure I'll figure something out.#Relationships #adventures #ChronicP ain

I woke up at 8am and took a shower to get ready for my 10am appointment with my caseworker. She got here on time and we went to 7-Eleven for drinks and I got cigarettes. Then we went back to my apartment and sat in her car for 25 minutes. She took my vitals. My heart rate was high. Then she left and I went back in my apartment to get my lighter so I could have a smoke while I waited for my peer specialist. She's really sweet. She was running late and I knew we wouldn't get to the donut shop in time for the good donuts. But they had some huge cinnamon rolls and apple fritters. I got a half dozen donuts. The apple fritter is amazing. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, nice chunks of apple, and sweet glaze. Then we drove around talking for 15 minutes and then she took me home. It was a very good morning.
