It looks like I didn't do a post for yesterday, sorry about that. I have had bad headaches the last couple days, including today.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful except for a couple of things: I got the sheets, which were MUCH nicer than expected (6 for $40 I didn't have high hopes). Here is a link: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PGVXDWR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Anyway they have tons of elastic, deep pockets, very soft and luxurious feeling, almost dry when I took out of washer and fast dry (important sometimes), so far very impressed.
And I got my astragalus (herbal roots for immunity). I made a tincture with some and made a decoction (boil herb in water for half an hour) with the licorice root as well. I plan to drink a little of the tea every day for the next few days as I AM coming off a course of antibiotics.
The doctor called and said I do not have a bladder infection. I believe I have interstitial cystitis. Bladder pain and irritation with no infection. But the good news I can eliminate it by avoiding acidic food/drink, cutting out the soda, cutting out aspartame, etc. It won't be a fun process but I think I will really benefit. And I am tired of bladder troubles.
So I will try that. Diet soda is not worth losing my sex life over. It's just not. I am disabled enough already I don't need more problems, especially one I can likely fix.
I got another nice card in the mail, and some gift cards which are very appreciated.
I went to bed early.
I woke up and had another headache. It's my birthday. Not quite how I planned to spend it. I took something.
I had given Ron the "panino" snack it is fancy italian salami wrapped around mozzarella cheese. He loved it when I gave it to him with his pills this morning. I will have to get more.
I was up anyway so not a problem when he asked for a bigger meal at 6:30 in the morning. I gave him the choices and he wanted the enchiladas. These were made by the "Bueno" food company and Ron was a huge fan. He gobbled them up (I cut them and then he ate them with his fingers).
I had a pretty uneventful morning, my aunt sent me a nice text message, I did my God Time, etc. I took a nap around 11:30. Cleo got into bed with me, walked around on me, purring, wanted lots of petting, etc. She feels very safe when I am laying down. She won't get in my lap if I am sitting anywhere but she will walk around on my chest if I'm in bed. Paws... pressing on all my vital organs, and she is a heavy girl! But I didn't mind. Eventually she lay down at the foot of the bed and I fell asleep. Headache came back (curses!). I took something for it.
It is gone now. I ordered some food delivered. We both ate.
Ron had a rough morning for pain but is OK with Voltaren and Lidocaine cream. He is OK right now.
I am going to check the mail in a little bit.
Ron got himself on the toilet chair and I changed the sheets. I like to do that every day or two. I am just glad he is independent in the toilet so I feel OK about leaving him when I go to work. But he always appreciates a hand if I am home and we have discussions on the turd, size, consistency, etc. {laugh} Stuff you never think about when you fall in love but no one else I'd rather help.
And I got to put the new sheet on his bed and he says it is nice.
I do spray down the rubber sheet with cleaner every time I change the fitted sheet, it just seems prudent. I use the unscented stuff so it doesn't bother Ron. I haven't exactly found a manual on this sort of thing.
A family member who raised children told me about the layer the rubber sheet, fitted sheet, trick on the bed so I can just pull of the bad part for cleaning later.
I cut up 3 pounds of sharp/extra sharp cheddar yesterday, froze half. Cut up cheese cubes are great for snacking. I plan to give Ron some with his pills in a little bit.
Done. And I took my last antibiotic.
Not a bad birthday. I will open my present from my parents when they call. I did open the card, she likes to make cards out of cat photos and this one was Baby Girl.
