Today so far

I went to my psych office for the COVID booster this afternoon. It went fine, no pain. When I went to ask for the receptionist to let my driver know I was ready, she handed me a $25 gift card. I was gonna get some vape juice tonight and I'll use the gift card.

I did a big dumb thing and went to the appointment without taking my pain meds. By the time I got home I could hardly move without crying. Pauley gave me a 5mg Norco and 2 aspirin. I've been laying down for about an hour and a half but OMG the pain is at 8.

The lady who delivers my meds just called to say she's 10 minutes away and there's no way I can handle walking up and down my stairs. Pauley is gonna get my meds for me. When she gets back in I'm gonna ask her to come goop my back with CBD cream.

Grief, more grief and the stresses to the mind and body that followed for me.

My father has passed and the “grieving slowly” of the past year now changes form. I have had so many body parts moving through it with me. Over a year of continuous chronic migraine, covid, bowel issues resulting in being placed on a strict diet (for someone who is eating disordered), doctor finding an tumour, the many mood swings of bipolar disorder, anxiety caused chest pain yesterday feeling totally overwhelmed by it all and then my body pulled total muscle paralysis for over 6 hours. I’ve been awake all night and I’m finally able to move without as much pain (with walker). I’m at least attempting to talk about it now and I have a session with my therapist today.

Trying to find my people

My counselor actually told me about the groups! I'm 48. Fully wheelchair bound for 10 years this October. I had 3 spinal surgeries that didn't go well. Probably because of my undiagnosed EDS! In 20 covid hit me hard and it's been a roller coaster since. I have gastroparesis. I have an ileostomy and I'm fully IV fed. Fun right?? LOL

My good bud with MS landed in the hospital with COVID.

He was wondering why he was feeling so weak. Thought it was another UTI on the way. Fell off of his scooter and couldn't get up.

COVID, flu, RSV, it's all out there right now. Vax up, mask up, whatever — protect yourself.
