Monday moans

 I almost went outside today but stopped myself at the last moment for what I don't really quite remember right now. I had been working all day trying to get myself with enough initiative that I would dress warm, cross the street do some shopping and get back in time for the evening news. I just couldn't pull it all together and pull it off. I've been working on kid letters off and on all day besides working on my word puzzles. Really have this weird belief that doing these word puzzles is doing me good. I can't prove anything but I still feel that way. Oh I did pump my arm- bike for an hour I felt that was productive. So the day hasn't been a truly lost cause. The days are supposed to get warmer by a few degrees so I'll be heading out more often. Tomorrow of course I have and my meeting downtown, assist for the first time in 3 weeks. I'm kind of getting excited to get back into the swing of things. I just hope my body will let me do so I'm feeling a little bit unsettled tonight. I'm totally free of Critters in my urine. This of course is a gift from the course of medicine I'm taking for my tooth or extracted tooth recovery. It's always a pleasure to see Crystal Clear urine. The bladder infection well come back as soon as I work through the last of the meds but that's okay I don't have to have a clear all the time. I'm not sure if I told you all about the fact that I run a low grade infection all the time because of all the catheterizationing that I do. My urologist indicates that that's common for people with spinal cord injuries who have to external catheterize. The body more or less protects itself one way or the other. I guess I don't really care one way or the other myself except for unless it gets me down and I can't be out enjoying my life or freedom. Everyday my room gets better in my mouth for the tooth was extracted. Now I'm just being bothered by the suture that seem to be striking out. I spend a good part of my day wiggling the sutures with my tongue just wondering if they'll stay in. As of the first of February I don't have a couple more days before I am seen by the dentist again to make sure that everything is going all right. I do at this point. I think I dodged the dry socket diagnosis. I don't think I've really ever had dry socket and it certainly scares me the way they talk about it and how I don't want to have it. It's very much that whole parent scaring the child into doing something supposedly good.

I'd better wrap up this blog now. I know it might be somewhat short but I just want to get the blog written before I try to write a few more letters tonight. At least that's my plan. I want to make sure I have enough time to either make corrections to the letters are to make sure that I'm able to print out all the documents and envelopes that I will need to in the next couple of days. I still have a week before I have to really mail them out so I'm sure I've got the time
