Today

My caregiver slept till 2pm. She decided today she was gonna organize and clean my room. I directed her from my bed. I hadn't touched my suitcase since I got home from con in September. She unpacked it, put away my clothes, and helped me process my emotions. Now she's vacuuming.

My right side from just above my butt cheek all the way to my toes hurts like hell. The pain meds helped with my back pain and migraine but it doesn't help with my right hip. We're starting to worry cuz it's been really bad for about 3 weeks. I remember my hips popped out of joint a few weeks ago. Like really loud POP. It's been hurting since.

I have bilateral acetabular impingement, bursitis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in both hips. I've also got bone spurs in my hip joints. So I've got pretty intense pain.

*inhuman screeching*

Tramadol hasn't done anything to make my pain go away. I am going to get myself a Norco. Pain spiked to 8. My hips are really bad today. I attempted to stretch... and both hips popped quite loud. My body sure makes a lot of weird sounds.

Meds aren't helping

I took a 50mg tramadol and a 7.5mg Norco at 8am and it didn't help. My caregiver just gooped my neck and shoulders and gave me half of a Norco. I've got a migraine again. But we just realized yesterday I haven't had an emgality shot since September 23rd. So we ordered another dose and I got it today. We also got my humalog today.

After 4 doses of miralax and 3 doses of docusate... Still nothing. I'm gonna drink 2 more doses of miralax today. I'm really annoyed.

Dinner tonight

The plan for dinner tonight is cheesy scrambled eggs and toast. I've got tortillas so I'll turn mine into a burrito. I need to find good quality GF tortillas for my caregiver. The last time I ordered GF tortillas, they were crumbly. They tasted good but they weren't suitable for rolling up. I'm gonna browse around Amazon for some.

My right hip really hurts. I got almost 2 hours of pain relief. It's time for Norco.

I'm gonna make lunch in about an hour. I'll probably make a turkey and cheese roll-up with honey mustard for dipping. I love honey mustard. Almost as much as I love ranch dressing.

OMG pain

I was already hurting from standing in the kitchen for 20 minutes. Then Amazon showed up with a delivery. I had to go down 17 steps to get the package and then back up 17 steps. By the time I sat down my hips were feeling like I got kicked. I had taken 2 tramadol right before Amazon got here. Id say pain is at 7 right now. I'm gonna lay down and listen to some music and try to meditate for a bit.

Good morning, the week has begun

I've got cooking class today at noon. It's my last session. We're making chicken with mango. I'm just excited to get a mango to take home. I'm gonna shower at 10am. Transportation will probably call me around 11am. Right now my back and hips don't hurt. I'm sure after standing in the shower I'm gonna be hurting. I'll take 2 tramadol after I get done.

At 3pm I've got therapy. I didn't do any homework so we're just gonna talk about cooking class being over. I'm gonna also talk about how I have plans with my QPP for after 5pm. I'm supposed to be going to my favorite cider mill. They have the best cider donuts. It's our autumn tradition every year. I really enjoy his company.

My neck just started hurting. It's very crunchy.

Pain is high

It just spiked to 8. I think I might be able to take 2 tramadol now. I didn't remember what time I last took them. Usually I have to ask my caregiver for pain meds but she let me have the bottle of tramadol in my room. So I don't have a point of reference to see when I had it. I'm gonna have to get a notebook or something.

My tummy hurts. I've got gas pains. And I have a migraine. I had a little panic attack today after dinner. I had a plate of food on my bed and some of the goo got on my hand. I ripped off the tips of my nails again but I used nail clippers to fix them. Mostly.

Dammit

My right shoulder hurts. And the pain is shooting down my arm. My caregiver is asleep so I have to wait for CBD cream.

I texted my mom to call me after church. I want to tell her about what I'm making for dinner tonight. I think she'll be impressed. I haven't made a roast in over a year. I actually mostly ate hot dogs before my caregiver moved in. I gotta get more simple things for lunch.

Good morning

I put dinner in the crockpot about 20 minutes ago. It's gonna be awesome. But right after fucking around the kitchen my hips are trash. I took 2 tramadol. I've got a bottle of sugar free juice to finish before I can go get my cold brew. I'm gonna mix my coffee with some mud wtr and cappuccino powder and birthday cake flavored syrup and oat milk. It's gonna be really yummy. I feel really yucky right now. Thank goodness I don't have to go anywhere today. I've got my last cooking class tomorrow. My skull just started to hurt. Fun times.

Winding down my night

I took my night meds about an hour ago and I just took my insulin. I gotta put my leftovers in the fridge. I feel pretty good right now. My hip pain is at 5. It hasn't been this low in 2 weeks. I guess 100mg tramadol is the sweet spot.

My neck and right shoulder hurts so I had my caregiver put some CBD cream on it. It's a little bit better now. The cooling effect from the menthol is nice.

If I'm feeling good tomorrow I'll bake some GF pumpkin pie bread. I think it'll be delicious.
