make my health a priority

It’s been cold and raining here non-stop all day. I’ve been out in it a fair bit, doing stuff for work. My back and hips are stiff and I feel chilled through. I’m glad it’s the weekend and a holiday’s coming up. I need the rest.

He did an exhaustive test and took xrays and blood work to check my renal function to see if I can take meds for the osteoporosis. God, it made me feel old.

My SO is having surgery on Wednesday. I have to drive him to Atlanta for this (about 3 hours one way). If all goes well he’ll be in a sling for a month and cranky as a toddler without a nap. If all does not go well he could bleed out during the surgery. I will be glad when it’s over but I’m not looking forward to my honey’s recuperation!

I need some rest. I’m sick again. But I’m needed at work. I’m needed in the studio. BJ needs me at night. It’s good to be needed but I need some rest.

This cervical stenosis I have is serious stuff. It is so frustrating not being able to get care for it!

And tomorrow I’m supposed to re-certify in CPR. No one is going to want to use the dummy after I’ve sniffed and snorted all over it!

Cold or flu, who knows? I think it’s a cold. But I’m exhausted.

As always, I will get the seasonal flu shot. I probably will not get the swine flu shot as I am not in one of the threatened populations. But I encourage everyone to get whatever shots are appropriate. You really don’t want to mess with the flu!

Daily constant use of the computer has aggravated my wrists/arms. I don’t know how long I can keep it up.

I am exhausted from a cough that won’t quit.
