Oh, I'm BIT*CHY today. Sigh. I don't mean to be, and I tend to be it towards AJ who is just being kind and helpful. I've been taking a lot of Prednisone the last few days so I'm very on edge. Moon faced, hungry and wired. Hungry tends to bring it out the worse. I just had to take something to ease up some of the pain in my body. My hands still hurt a bit, but not as bad as the last post time. Wonder what's worse....
I ended up calming down by cutting the grass, even though it was cool out, it needed cutting. And then walking Jax for longer then I have ever walked him here. He's sleeping now - I think he was confused and thrilled with the walk. All the new smells!
I got new glasses for distance. It's not like I can't see, but I just strain a bit. I can still read signs etc. I put on these new glasses and almost threw up by the motion of looking. Yes they are great to make distance clearer but anything else is nauseating. Doc came in and basically talked down to me about how I needed them, how they would take time (yes, I can understand that, but I have never had my reading glasses make me want to chuck...), how I just had to use them etc. He came across as I had to have them to live. I got the feeling that he was just pushing glasses because that's where he made money. I wonder if I really need them.
If I use them when I drive they will make things clear, but the problem is that as I DRIVE, things will get closer. And looking down at my speed, makes the speed numbers jumpy. They aren't bi bifocals - maybe they should have been? But I have never had glasses for distance. My old eye doc said I was fine last year, so I go back to why exactly do I need them now? Yes, things are strain-y-er, but I can still see. His talking down to me and pushing the glasses really upset me. And I know I'm super-sensitive at the moment but still. AJ says we will look for someone new next year then. I don't see me using these glasses that much. I will continue to try them and see how driving works, but on the general day to day I doubt it.
I will start with the Metho injections on Wednesday after the blood work. Not crazy about needles. Ugh.
I'm sore and achy. But the pain isn't bad. At least I'm able to ease up the the eating because of it. Just need to make sure I do eat so I don't get into the hungry B.
Went and saw Anne Marie for a healing treatment yesterday. Was good and able to sleep better. I also am trying to do as she suggested - drink more water (what's new about that!), don't watch TV an hour before bed, read and relax an hour before bed. I've been working on my art room. It's 99% done. Hung up my art last night. I like the room. Just have a few things on the table that have to go else where - after those rooms are painted.
Dinner tonight will be simple. Probably soup and bread. (low carb bread). and Water.....
