So Much for Good Intentions

So much for good intentions! Journaling didn't happen. I got a job I refer to as my Five Ring Chinese Circus but that is not all. I moved into my own place again, traveled for work, got injured at work, did long term therapy, had multiple radiology assisted epidural shots of steroids into my spine, and finally back surgery just before Christmas. Then the real fun started with coping at home alone although my son had me texting him every four hours when I took drugs. He lives quite close so he could be here in 5 minutes or so

He and other people took turns bringing me food but I had learned to cook real food on cookie sheets like my famous meat mound (which happened on a day I used my strength to make a meat loaf but then couldn't find the loaf pan.) LOL the meat mound went on a cookie sheet with baked potatoes on the edges of the pan and a veggie in the microwave.  It was almost as good as the pork steaks thrown over a package of Stove Top stuffing lightly sprinkled with water. Put in oven, set the timer, and go back to bed. The hard part was hauling my butt out of bed when the timer went off.

Anyway, I am much improved BUT still in Physical Therapy twice a week, had some Occupational Therapy, and back to PT again. Now I have Badgercare so I am seeing a doctor instead of the Free Clinic. My blood sugar has jumped. I have a tooth that is sore but I do have a dentist appointment at the end of the month. I am seeing the Certified Diabetic Educator next week. Sometimes it seems harder than working but I am hoping I will get back to 100%. There is some muscle wasting on the left side.
