Dee is still very poorly with pain stemming from her spine we think and it seems to be deteriorating rather than improving so our lives are mainly confined to home at present. The waits to get appointments isn't helping her very much so we help each other as much as possible.
Six days without an entry and I planned at least once on each of those days to do it. Last night I told Dee to make me do my blog. That was my intention this morning when I got up and I had some vague idea what I could write about. Needless to say that my priorities didn't remain once I got in my chair and headed to the toilet. My brain decided I could manage a shower today (not before the toilet obviously) so I focused on that. So after my wash and dry courtesy of my Clos-o-mat toilet (I'll add a link to these elsewhere) and shuffling back to the bathroom half shower ready (I took my lower clothing off in preparation/energy saving mode) I turned the shower on ready, finished undressing, hung a towel where I could reach it from my shower seat and gingerly shuffled into my disabled persons shower cubicle (no I won't be posting photos :-)
It was just like heaven. Well not quite as peaceful and relaxing as I suppose heaven is visualized by those who believe in it but having water flowing over me was lovely. Just needed to sit in one place and reach everything with my handled scrubbing brush.
The last six days are a blur to me in bits and in piecing together what I did and how long for etc. I know I've done quite a bit on and off (for someone stuck in a chair having a no-motivation week) but I remember some stuff, just not the order it occurred in.
I know that in the last few days my feet are not so swollen and I don't know why. I have not changed my medication apart from getting some Apple Cider Vinegar food supplements. I have been having to wee about every 30 minutes (so that's where fluid is going) but I don't know if it's an MS thing (along with the brain fog) or something else.
I've also been out with Loki a few times and it's been a nightmare a couple of times when other dog owners seem to look down on me and treat me as if I'm stupid and shouldn't be out on my own, never mind walking a dog. I won't go into detail (mainly cos I can't remember precisely anymore lol).
I've also had several trips up to Aldi shopping and a trip to the chemist to pick up my Tazanadine (which I took two of when I got home, and shortly fell asleep). They have a weird effect whereas your eyelids just fight with your conscious self and tell you that they are shutting whether you like it or not. I fought for a while but next thing I knew was waking up and wheeling into the kitchen to do something and spending a little while longer sleeping in the kitchen.
Been looking at engraving machines on YouTube to buy so that I can be a little productive, so any advice appreciated. Also 'Follow Me Drones' but they seem a bit expensive for what I would use one for.
Dug out our Akaso Action cam so I can take some videos when I'm out and about.
That's about it I think for now apart from a photo of Loki as a puppy and a car parked in the way, not as much as some people do, like the nob at the end of the back lane who parked his car obstructing the easiest access for me to get to town and back.
