Two Medical Offices, one tetanus shot, trip to the pharmacy- - one long day




When my caregiver looked at my arm this morning she changed her position on whether I should go in or not have the wounds look at. Since she is one of the few people that I really appreciate my life and their opinion I decided I would do that. The clouds are still bunched up so the sun was not out yet so the heat had not gotten out of hand. I was kind of hoping that the rain they keep suggesting might happen would happen but not today. Now, not only did I have the wound on my arm to consider and the wound on my leg I developed some sort of sore throat but I don't or can't figure out why it is or however it came from. I can barely swallow so I figured it great as long as I'm at the doctor's office / Hospital we can check that out too. I was hoping that's going to be able to get in and get everything taken be back by 1:00 so I could be working on my arm bike and doing my 60 Minutes on the bike. I get to the hospital however and get to my clinic and they tell me that I can't be seen by them till tomorrow sometime that I really need to go to InstaCare. I should have done that first another I was just hoping to get us hope I didn't have to make a lot of travel Arrangements but what the heck? I had to take a bus that runs on one hour headways which is a lot of time waiting but finally got on the bus Which took me close to where I needed to go got off the bus and rolled to the clinic. These guys are great and they were concerned. I really haven't been concerned my kids are really concerned and my caregiver is concerned just me I wasn't concerned. They had to wait a little bit not significantly however. They did the whole doctor thing on my arm cleaned it up wrapped it with a new wrapping and gave me a prescription for some medication to kill whatever it is I have four tablets a day- - talk about overkill? Which is okay my nurse practitioner means business they got me wrapped up and soon I was out heading home in the afternoon day sun and the day it turned hot!


Today is Wednesday and the reader knows that I wash my clothes on Wednesday and I had my caregivers start the wash. I waited an hour then went down and collected my clothes and brought them back to the apartment. I pride myself on folding and hanging up clothes as soon as I bring him in from the dryer but not today I wanted to get out and get the stuff I need to have done done. No I'm too exhausted. I'll have to do it tomorrow if I can find the time. I did do my arm bike today maybe that's all so why I'm so tired but anyway have a good night all is well the wounds are healing..
