Good Morning, Everyone
Jim can never see to sleep on Sundays nites and he has been retired for I think 8 years now! I am still working and should be the one tossing and turning on a Sunday night lol
I feel good about the week ahead. I am a tiny bit up but that is to be expected after the weekend--at least for me. But now that I have my head screwed on right and will take it one day at a time, I believe in myself again

my doctor in the pain clinic has scheduled the first knee block in both knees. She did an X-ray and I had a bone denisty my lower back pain is due to serious deteriorating disks. Severe in the lowest one. I have to take a 24 hour urine sample tomorrow. I will return to the lab to turn that in and the no. 2 sample already done in refrigerator. I shop tomorrow so I will brig a large bowl and a lid if I have to go. And Scott suggested I go in commode next to my bed and he will empty it into these 2 jugs the are shaped weirdly. Tomorrow I will try to get more grape crystal life. beans and rice. I staying in my insurance so I will more likely to be approved by this insurance for the knee blocks. The doctor there said I need therapy for my back pain. I take 3000 Tylenol a day for pain. Both my knees and back hurt when I try to walk only treadmill. I have to get a new bone doctor after Friday. I will be scheduled for recast the infusion for my bones I got last year. Scott agues with me for the infusion it takes 17 minutes. But Scott likes to eat at that hospitals restaurant. It is a community restaurant with good food. I will continue to get the chicken potatoes and green beans. I am supposed to get another Roku 32 inch tv I can pay off in August. That will go in front of my bed. which is at the end of the living room near the window. I cant work the roku from my bed since the the rtv is at the end of a table that is close to the kitchen. it s an open room but I need 2 spots to watch identical tvs. it should arrive by 7pm tonight. I can pay for everygthing I bought so I can pay new rent in December when I begin paying a new rent. I have paid my rent through November. If I get some deductions I might be able to get a cashiers check act the end of November but the thas to be seen. I will ask the Dr. at the pain clinic or my new bone doctor for a referral to physical therapy. I'd like to go nearby except for construction to get it there. That is the closet.

They do 2 knee blocks on both knees weeks apart and if my pain improves I get the ablation which would last for 2 year.s I could lose weight and deal with the back with her then. Whether I can get shots there or an ablation I do not know. Also maybe I could get a referral to the spine clinic for them to look.

I am struggling too. i ordered the week Nutrisystem which is 25 days not 41. I am going to eat the Moms meals I get on weekends to make up. It will be a struggle to lose weight oherwise. I get food that is delivered from the pantry here Saturday for people over 60 years. I get wahts available. I got some plums this weekend. I have some brown rice left and may be able to afford that in coming month too. The Nutrisystem is coming in 2 1/2 weeks. I ordered each month. I hope the prices doesn't overlap. i get more moms meals August 4. I am eating once a day. i am getting some cash out of the bank to look for some easy meals when we shop Thursday after Wednesday. I have to call QVC so they won't charge me for the tv Scott took to Post office Friday. I got the tracking number and will tell them it takes so long to get it. Another Time Scott did not get the tracking number. I will call QVC today. I am paying Scott's computer and my computer. I have 12 months to do that.
