Nothing new, same issues . I miss the people here. I have been really struggling the last few months. I have been really trying and it seems like I am going back instead of forward.

I just noticed that I have the sounds of thousands of insects in my ears. Tinnitus??? Lovely, another fun thing.

Iamwhoiamwhoami OP October 12th

I think I might attempt to get the strength to get up and at least sit under the shower for a few minutes.

Iamwhoiamwhoami OP October 13th

It really is a pain to try and crawl back under an old comforter that all the fill material has shifted into all the wrong places while I am still plenty damp from the shower. The thing almost sticks to my skin and I am in too much pain to straighten out.

A little ringing in my right ear . Whenever I nap again maybe it’ll finally disappear or at least drop to a level I can’t hear.

I actually have new sheets and comforters packed away. I’m thinking of possibly putting them on the bed right before I go in to the hospital for surgery.

That might depend on my strength. My arm strength is really weak, I knew that they were slowly getting weaker since this ordeal escalated a few ago. But the last couple of days, especially today they seem to be a lot weaker rather quickly. I did do something stupid to verify and maybe it proved me right or wrong. It was a 40 pack of 16.9 oz water bottles. It took everything I could muster to pick it up then I used the rollater walker seat to set it on and moved it slowly and painfully from the front door to the back room . Then I nearly dropped it because my legs were saying enough is enough. I set it down and literally crawled to the bed and pulled myself up and in. That was sometime earlier today. Maybe that contributed to the noise in my eardrums.

I managed a little more than just sitting under the water, I managed to wash my hair and the basics .

I should be proud of myself for the little things. But I continue to play the self blame game. If I hadn’t been so stubborn headed when the back and leg pain began, I wouldn’t be where I am now. But my stubbornness in regards to pain usually involves ignore it block it out and continue what needs to be done.

Stubbornness I think must be one of the ancient seeds that grew in the base roots of my early days. That trait I think has prevented me from being me.

Ok, I think I need to try and soak my disgusting feet while the skin has a little moisture left in them. I am guessing that I will have to try to do that in the wheelchair, that hurts the least for sitting in.


Iamwhoiamwhoami OP October 13th

I got the hot water into the foot massager thingy. This will be the first time I have used it . I think I bought it a few years ago, planning to use it but never did. Anyway I need to let the water cool down for a bit it’s a little too hot for my wimpy footsies.

Hopefully I don’t fall asleep before I get to use it…

@Iamwhoiamwhoami ooo! A foot massager ❤ next time you use it out a bit of bubble bath in ❤ what's it like??

@Tinywhisper11

I don’t think I can use bubble bath in it. It is ok , I can’t feel the tiny massaging bubbles, so it felt like putting my feet in a small bucket of water.❤️❤️

@Tinywhisper11

I am going to try to make it through the maximum suggested time for running that massager soaking thingy. Which is a half hour. So about 25 minutes to give a few to shut it off.

I have been falling apart most of my life , it is just that now the frame supporting it is ancient and decrepit as well so it’s falling apart in bigger pieces. ❤️❤️

❤️Embracing you in a loving hug ❤️

Tiny bubbles are blowing around my feet and I can barely feel them. I feel the heat but barely the massaging tiny bubbles. Must be the nerve medication.

I wish I was not as far gone as I am. I am fat, ugly, old and a mental wreck. I feel like my mind is trapped at age level of a kid . I handle things like a kid when it comes to myself.
