Fed up with petty bullshit

Yes I understand we have fruit flies. No I don't know where they're coming from. But fruit flies aren't the end of the world. It's not reason for stopping normal cleaning and taking care of me. This is what you want to get paid for so fucking do it and quit bitching. I'm trying to help but my pain is still so high and I can't stand for more than 10 minutes. I shouldn't be doing your chores. I'm paying for rent, electric, wifi, and half of the food. She has food stamps but when I asked her to please order groceries 5 days ago she was like I don't have enough money. I knew she had about 85 bucks but I didn't speak up.
When she moved in with me I told her she needs to pay 250 per month and she's gotta do dishes and clean. She hasn't had any money and I've paid for everything. And when we go to Canterbury village I'm the one paying. I have limited funds.
I'm so tired of being an adult human. I think today is a good day for puppy time. If you leave me biscuits and head scritches I'd be very happy.

Today

I've got a follow-up appointment with my endocrinologist today at 2pm. I've been having high BG for a few weeks. maybe 2 weeks now.
I gotta shower and find clean clothes and get ready cuz transportation is coming shortly after 1pm so I've got 5 hours to get ready.
I'm not happy about this appointment cuz my pain makes me want to take some tincture. I just kinda wiggled my back like a snake and it popped a bunch but the pain stayed the same. I hurt all over.
Next week I have an appointment with my cardiologist who I really don't like. I haven't checked my BP since I last saw her at least 3 months ago. The battery is dead.
When I had my appointment with my BHH nurse for my injection she was concerned about my BP being high. It's normal for me. I've had high BP for most of my adult life. But it's high enough to need serious meds.
Tomorrow is my appointment with my pain specialist. Shes my favorite doctor. Shes so nice and accepting and very considerate of different identities. She hugged me when I couldn't do the cortisone injections the first time I went. She was desperate to help me and she decided we could at least do a torodal shot in my butt. It didn't help but I was grateful she tried to help me.
I'm gonna shower in a half hour and figure out what I'm gonna wear. I'm getting picked up just after 1 pm. Pauley is coming with me.

Just commiserating

I want to do Christmas cards but I don't celebrate Christmas. I celebrate yule. It's a really meaningful celebration. I'm gonna look for classic Yule dishes and try to cook some really nice things.
Food and drink of Yule: Cookies and caraway cakes soaked in cider, fruits, nuts, pork dishes, turkey, eggnog, ginger tea, spiced cider, wassail.
I didn't need an excuse to buy more eggnog but here we are. And I'll make a really yummy turkey tenderloin with cranberry sauce and spiced virgin apple cider for the cool people.
I've never cooked a whole turkey. I don't think I have a container big enough for the turkey to go into the oven. But I can get one at the store by me. I think. I'm really excited. I can show Pauley what the holiday is all about.
I got a delivery from Amazon today. I needed a new can of spray on deodorant but I couldn't decide. And it was more than hmmm gosh I can't decide. Either my strong masculine side will get the Mando all over deodorant or my effeminate side will get a vanilla coconut spray deodorant so I can smell pretty.
Oh! Wow, in an unprecedented event it appears Nox is coming from the right field to *reads card* carry the pitcher off the field and put him in a garbage can. Why not both?
Both fragrances arrived yesterday. I've used the coconut scent and it's lovely. The Mando that I got has the scents of bourbon and leather. I haven't tried it yet. But I suspect it's gonna be awesome.
I'm gonna call one of my care team members, my peer support marshmallow friend. We go out to eat each month. She said a restaurant by me is really good. I think I'd like to try it.
Shes like a mom to me except accepting me with all my quirks. We both walk with walkers. We both lost children in different ways but loss is loss.
I'm starting to get a migraine. My hips feel much better. But my tummy is a wreck. And my vision is trashed which is causing my migraines. The only way to fix it is surgery. My doctor doesn't want to do surgery. I've got an appointment with her next week. I see my Endo on Tuesday and my pain specialist on Wednesday. I'm very nervous about the appointment with my pain specialist cuz I got discharged from PT about halfway through. My PT therapist said she is afraid to damage my right hip and my lumbar.
I'm just hoping to be able to do the MRI soon. That was my only reason for being in PT. Fingers crossed.

Ugh

I need to shower. I smell like a corpse. Even though I am doing much better with the help of the gummies but showering is very difficult because that's when my hair falls out the most. But it's 430pm and we are going out for ice cream at 6pm with our neighbor. I reached out to her and asked if she wanted to go on an adventure with us. She said it sounds like a good idea. It's motivation I guess. I usually shower 1x per week unless I have multiple appointments during the week then I shower 2x.
Well I have missed last week cuz I was dealing with really intense hip pain and I couldn't stand up for more than 10 minutes. I'm really in a lot of pain and the gummies don't even take the edge off my hip. I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be doing PT. It's doing more damage than good.

Feeling better

The only pain I have is my right hip and my legs are very swollen cuz I have water pooling in both feet and legs. I haven't had a gummy yet. And I don't need meds. The gummies have been amazing. I'd be miserable if I didn't have them.
*Pauley went to get the mail and we got 3 packages so we opened them... 2 packages of CBD gummies and a pack of 16 servings of pumpkin spice flavor IQ Joe. I had to get it.*
So I just ate one of the gummies from today. It's a giant tub of peachie rings. I got them from Groupon. No really bad aftertaste. I'll check my hips in an hour. I'm gonna make a really fancy coffee treats. I've got a bag of pumpkin spice coffee,I've got pumpkin spice flavored sweet cream foam from Aldi, and I have a bottle of pumpkin spice creamer. I'm BASICALLY a white girl with after market software. Except you know...I'm a boy! Not to be mistaken for Pinocchio. He who controls the pumpkin spice controls the white girls. I never saw Dune but I hear they have a spice problem.
I don't feel good. I got sick twice today already. But my tummy doesn't hurt. It did an hour ago. My face is itchy flaky and oily as hell. My scalp is really itchy. It's got new scabs and they burn.
I think we're gonna watch a movie tonight. Either To Wong Foo...or What Dreams May Come.
I just took a big drag off my disposable vape and OMG I coughed so hard I almost peed my couch. Fun times. Now? Well now I'm stoned and I'm craving cheese. Like... Put a corn tortilla on a plate and put a mound of shredded cheese on it and microwave for 1 minute or until your cheese has melted. I then roll them up like a taquito. I like to dip mine in plain yogurt or ranch or sour cream. Yes I'm currently hungry but I talk about food and coffee and tea all the time so this is no different.

Geez not again

Last night I took one dose of spicy tincture but it didn't kick in until this morning about an hour ago. I'm so stoned. I'm gonna go eat something. No I'm not. I should make coffee. No Pauley should wake up. Ugh
But on the plus side I have no pain

Hey

Things just keep happening to me.
Bilateral intermittent exotropia.
Bilateral femoral acetabular impingement.
My back is a dumpster fire.
Cortisone injections should last 3 months.
Mine lasted 2 and a half weeks.
PT is really not going so great.
She's afraid to damage my spine.
She's been trying to massage my hips.
Except she says my hips feel like there's marbles.
She said my hips are the hardest she's felt in a while.
I'm gonna take a gummy an hour before my appointment and see if it helps. I'm giving the gummies till Saturday next weekend. If I can be pain free for a few more days I'll be shocked.

Feeling much better today

This morning was really rough with waking up to a ginormous patch of ringworm. I waited for Pauley to wake up so she could put some medicine on the wound. It was bleeding a little bit this morning.
I took one gummy at 9am and another around 1pm. I have no pain. I haven't taken any of my pain meds today! I don't have a migraine either!
I ordered another jar of the gummies using a different email address cuz otherwise it was gonna be suuuuuuuuuper expensive. I also ordered a dropper bottle of CBD/CBG tincture. And I'm pretty sure I ordered another thing of samples of gummies. I'm quite serious about finding different ways to stop my pain.
The second gummy today was taken with hydroxyzine just so I could meditate deeply. Except I fell asleep and had some awesome dreams.
Something I expected was feeling high which I hate. I don't feel high. I feel like I could hug the whole world.
Of course now I've got a serious case of the munchies. I'll have some pizza for dinner tonight. But I'm really craving shawarma and falafel and poutine.
Emotionally I feel great. I'm alert, focused, and happy. This Feels amazing.

Pain relief options

So the meds kinda work sometimes which absolutely sucks. And the CBD cream I have takes the edge off the pain but a 6 is still a 6. I remember from about 14 years ago I tried THC gummies and they knocked me on my ass. Then I tried CBD gummies and I was taking them because of severe insomnia. I slept sooooooo good with those goofy peach rings. So I figured I'd try to find a gummy for stress and anxiety relief. I found a company that has a "free jar, just pay shipping" and they retail for 70 bucks! I ordered a jar about 5 days ago so there's quick turnaround.
Guess what arrived today!!!
I was so excited. i opened the box and took out the gummies. I opened the jar and sniffed but it was... Chemically. I knew these wouldn't taste good but they smelled like serious business. So at 330pm I ate 2 gummies. An hour later my mind was calm.
2 hours later I noticed that I didn't have any pain.
Wait... What?!?! How the what the what???
Yeah. No migraine. Back felt great. Hips were a little stiff but they didn't hurt at all. And I had gotten sick 4x this morning right before I got them... And after eating the gummies, my tummy felt wonderful. I have chronic GI disease and I'm usually complaining about my tummy hurting.
I told Pauley about how good I feel and she was shocked. The pain started coming back about an hour ago. So 330pm till 10pm. That's definitely a change of pace. I just took half of a gummy to help me rest better. I'm curious about what kind of dreams I'll have tonight.

Tomorrow

I have pt at 3pm tomorrow. Im super anxious. The last time I had PT with Molly I got discharged after 6 weeks because it actually made my hips worse. My hips are actually a lot worse since then. So I'm worried. The plan is to see if I can do aquatic therapy. They think it would be more effective. I'm trying to be optimistic.
Pauley got home last night at 1040pm. I was napping when she got home. It's been a rough couple days. We have fun plans for the weekend. Im hoping I'm feeling well enough for it.
