D D No rest for the weary

The first part of  January I began to have pain in my arms when I laid down and it STILL persists.
Wake numerous times during the night with pain that feels like a BAD toothache halfway  between my shoulder and elbow. No joints there and I don't have the pain when I am sitting or standing , so it can't be arthritis.
Have an appointment that DIL Deb made for me April 8th with her Primary to establish myself a doctor while we are here for myself and maybe he will have an answer for me. Maybe.................
Get a lousy nights sleep and most times I hit the couch at 3:30 just so I don't toss and turn and disturb hubby's sleep.
Not that the pain goes if I lie on the couch.......sigh!
My son is usually asleep on the other couch or watching TV when I get up and we both doze off now and then til daylight comes.
It's been his habit for years. The past three or so years he wears a sleep apnea mask IN BED.
On the couch...No.
I'd like to blame this on a mattress, but while my grandsons is older, mine at home is just two years old this April and the one in North Port looks fairly new. 
It CAN'T BE the mattresses !
Both hubby and myself haven't been adjusted by a chiropractor since we left home.

We both need it BADLY.  I shit you not!

Hubby's left foot has alot of swelling in it that concerns the visiting nurse. 
His blood pressure is dropping. Was 100/64 yesterday .  Another concern of hers.
He has been taking his fluid pill at 6 a.m. and does gripe LOUDLY that he wants to stop taking it as he pisses every fifteen minutes he says and worries that he won't get to the bathroom in time. 
He chose to take it at nine when he got up this morning so he could get some extra Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's.
Maybe I won't have to hear his usual "what the fuck are you trying to do to me" today.
So far....so good.
The nurse wants him to get a doctor here, but he can only have one Primary doctor through the VA and he sees him in Massachusetts.   DIL Deb is calling the VA Clinic here today to see what they suggest he do about his swelling and B/P.


FINALLY his pain med arrived from the Boston V.A. Pharmacy by Fedex or UPS yesterday. I ordered them the 23rd along with some other med's and the others came last week by REGULAR mail. Go figure!
I can breathe a sigh of relief until I order them again on April 18th.  Every 26 days I can call to have it refilled. It's lousy when the 26th day is a weekend or holiday. 
At least now I still have some of the ones his doctor at the rehab place relented and gave me an RX at Walmart's Pharmacy. :0)

Showered and dressed while he was sleeping.
Had some Weight Control Quaker Instant oatmeal ( flavored ) with sliced strawberries for breakfast. 4 Points.
Think I blew any weight loss yesterday when I ate my leftover bowtie pasta dinner from Valentini's.
Can't remember the name of it, but it had roasted chicken strips, broccoli , tomatoes bowtie pasta and was cooked in an oil with garlic and ??? 
It was so yummy Saturday .  I ordered a small salad without cheese or croutons and my dressing on the side before I DUG INTO IT.   Didn't want to stop eating it, BUT I did.  :0)
Now I finished it off. :0(
We need to shop for the makings for salad today. We are OUT!

Had a good T Storm early yesterday beginning around 3 a.m.  It was needed. It was overcast most of the day and today the sun is in and out too.  Highs in the 70's.  No complaint here. ;0)

Myself and my chubby dog Ginger need to walk the cul de sac today.  Sunday I pushed hubby around it so he could see the neighborhood.  Earlier Ginger and myself hoofed it. 
Then back to help hubby take his shower, Gets mighty humid in there. 
Hope that shower chair on wheels arrives soon or SOONER.   I know................poor me.;0)
I shit you not!


That's All Folks!
