How Are You Feeling Now?, 🤔,😀🥺

Anxious. Sometimes I have a lot of anxiety during the night and I can't sleep. It's not just emotional, I have restless legs, and restless everything, really. I've tried lots of different things but nothing helps for more than one or 2 nights, then it's back.

I've had the anxious restless legs before and know it's quite disturbing and uncomfortable. Have you talked to a doctor about it, just because I think there may be a medicine for it.
 

Nervous about my dental appointment today. It is 40 miles away and I hate the drive, the traffic, the location of the office (bad section), the waiting room wait (lots of people), the long wait (they are slow) and the procedure (cleaning). This is the only place that accepts my insurance.
 
Medicare checkup yesterday, blood count good, cholesterol very good, weight good, monitored medication toxicity levels good, Memory test possible early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. I struggle with memory loss and forgetfulness. Other than the above listed conditions, I am as fit a teenager on drugs.
 
In a darker place. General sadness. Have an eye appointment tomorrow because honestly, my right eye is giving up. But it's not that, just a gloomy outlook that would need a very long post to explain. Sometimes life is a slog, isn't it? I mean, every damn hour feels like you need to smash through a wall. If I think too much, I got worse.

So music is playing right now. Some orchestral stuff, with lots of strings. Not uplifting, but about the tone I feel at.

How did your dentist appointment go? Are you glad it's over with or something else?

Fantastic. Paid off my house yesterday. Totally debt free. Good retirement income. Not wealthy but we have enough. Maybe after 40 years of always owing on something I can relax.

Had I kept the house I owned, I could have done the same by now. I actually have more in savings than I paid for that house and all I'm looking for is a decent manufactured home. I had bad neighbors and that neighborhood was under a mandatory fire evacuation 2 or 3 years ago. That's a stress I could do without. I should have bought in this town not that town in the same county. But it was 2001 and they were giving loans to every undeserving person and everything was sold sold sold.

Today I feel apprehensive.
 
Ooh my back, I strained it yesterday somehow. Across lower and radiating upwards. I'm using my walking stick.

I have discovered something. Isn't it strange just how much you can get done when you slow down and prioritise? Instead of rushing.

I cannot stand up for long just now, so I split every task into doable sections, just no bending. I rest and warm my back in between jobs.

I've managed bathroom cleaning, cooked lunch, washed up, mopped the floors, just now weeded round the driveway using my long handled wire brush.

I've pushed my luck enough though.

Back aches are the pits but you are doing your chores still and that's commendable! And you know when you've done enough too. Please be careful too not to injure your back more. I'm saying that because I used to push my luck too much and ended up in the emergency room. Sounds like you're taking care though.🤗
 
I'm feeling relieved after a rough time of it. The management company here has strange ways of dealing with tenants who are at the end of their lease time. I'm so glad everything is okay now and I have a new lease. It was a very scary experience but it's ok now. Thank God!
 
Even though I am having difficulty getting through this illness (PMR), I still keep a positive attitude that I will get better, although I am being told it can go either way, which includes complete blindness. I am considering calling either the Mayo Clinic or the Cleveland Clinic and ask if I should come there for treatments. They are listed as experts in this field. Its a tough decision at this time because my diagnosis was just made last month and I haven't yet given the doctors here a real opportunity to conquer it. Maybe I am too anxious or I have over-expectations of a quick recovery, which there is none.

I do push my luck, thanks for the warning. It is always tempting to do things as soon as you feel a bit better.
So I am resting but gently moving about. You have to get the balance right because of course you can freeze into stiffness.
But thanks, better today.
