This has been one of the most busiest, and drama filled weeks I’ve ever had. We have been hit by one snow storm system after another and it seems I was always out and about during the worst or it. I really need to move south some where. Yes I’ll miss having a white Christmas but I’ll deal with it. It’s a small sacrifice compared to having to deal with the snow and ice all winter long.
Monday brought us Liz’s birthday. Our plan was to have a girls day out prior to my appt. with the Oncologist. I got little to no sleep the night before so I was awake on pure caffeine only. We weren’t supposed to get anything other then flurries but nope, we ended up with about 3inches of the white stuff. With the majority of it falling while we were out and about. In spite of the lack of sleep and bad weather I think it went well and we had a nice time.
My Oncology appt was canceled due to a death in the doctors family and school got out an hour early due to the bad weather. However, I was able to get a short nap in which was much needed.
The rest of the week went by in a flash and is a blur. There was a lot of family drama which seems pretty much the norm for us these days. I really hope that we’ve reached the end of the drama because I am tired of dealing with all of it.
Weds I went to see my pain specialist. My pain level keeps increasing which is causing me to not sleep the best. It hurts to move, getting out of bed is a chore but I do it. Which in turn all of it is making me cranky. The doctor told me that I’ll never be pain free but we are just trying to get it to a manageable level. Ummm…pain manageable? Whatever! He increased my pain meds and plus gave me a new med to take at bedtime.
By the time Christmas eve got here I was in immense pain. Pain unlike anything I’ve felt. I was going on about 4 hours sleep in two days. Every time I would start to drift off to sleep I would be woken up by Mr. Pain. It felt like he was squeezing my bad leg in the front and trying to break my bone. I would gladly go through labor any day over this pain. I have to even do my lamaze breathing to get through the pain. So xmas eve I finally took the bedtime meds the doc has prescribed and it knocked my ass out. So much so that I spent most of xmas trying to function and not doing the best. LOL
Xmas we ended up locked out of the house. We couldn’t break in because Brian felt the need to nail shut every window in this house top to bottom. The gas light was on in my van and the extra key was in CR. I had not a dime to my name. We finally got some money put some gas in the van and drove the hour it takes to retrieve the key. It was not a pleasant drive to say the least. Lesson learned. Gonna make tons of spares and put them every where and have a few trusted people have a copy so we don’t have to travel so far when and if it happens again. It was just one of those things where we were all at fault.
I’ll blog a positive blog about xmas eve and xmas in my next blog. I just needed to vent in this one.
