A new day...

Morning :coffee:

I managed to get a few more hrs. of sleep last night/this morning. Had a couple bad coughing spells yesterday that hurt like a SOB. Sneezing this morning...unpleasant. I had to take the lidocaine patch off this morning because it was making me itch & feel kinda yucky. I will put one on later after I take a break from it.

I'm trying to figure out if I can create a fog effect on my island through the use of one of the furnishing items in game (the humidifier). That would make my island more interesting. If nothing else if I could get the effect in my cemetery that would be awesome.

It's difficult to sleep because I can only sleep in one position. It tends to make other body parts hurt because I can't roll over to alleviate things. Sleeping sitting up was causing strain on my neck. My recliner is broken so I can't use that. Even so the bar to close the recliner is too much to pull with a broken rib.

I got a follow up appt. on Monday morning to determine how long I will need to be off. Pretty crappy way to get time off from work. :(

I fell asleep watching CSI on Pluto. It's supposed to be windy again today...*RME*...& get to 81° today. Might need the AC. We'll see. Since I got this rib thing going on I don't feel good so I've been a little cold.

Have a good day.

Will they give you codeine for the cough? After a month of agony a new doctor put me on codeine & it worked instantly. The coughing had been creating more.

I sure feel for you.

Because of all the druggies in town they don't like giving out scripts for narcos or codeine. If they do it's as little as they can give. Not enough to do any good.
 
  • Benzonatate is a medication taken orally to suppress coughs. It has an anesthetic (numbing) action similar to that of benzocaine and numbs the stretch sensors in the lungs. It is the stretching of these sensors with breathing that causes the cough. Benzonatate begins to work within 15 to 20 minutes, and its effects last for approximately 3 to 8 hours. Benzonatate is unrelated to narcotics such as codeine which are frequently used to suppress coughs. (Another frequently used cough suppressant, dextromethorphan, which is found in many over-the-counter cough and cold preparations, is a derivative of the narcotics.)

Each day we are blessed with a new day. Today I had no plans to return here this soon. But I have decided that I no longer want to allow people to control my life with their proclivities. We are all who we are. And one person should not be given the power to destroy the world for another. I'm sick of letting people hurt me just because they can. Today is a new day. The thing that took me down is now a thing of the past. I refuse to dwell on it or even think about it anymore. What's done is done.

And on that note...we are seeing a decrease in COVID numbers where I live. However I'm not certain how long that will last. With some states opening up & dropping mask mandates on top of that new African strain that's supposed to be in the US by April if it's not already...I just don't think we are gonna do well with this. I hope that millions more won't lose their lives to this virus.

Landlord came today. I think he might have actually got the faucet in the tub fixed. 😲

It was 72F today. Might get some rain overnight.

We have some new employees at work again. I had to train one yesterday. Not my favorite thing to do but the supervisors seem to prefer I do it.

I got off one of my anxiety meds cuz it was making matters worse I think. I've been feeling better since.

My brother had an incident the other night and had to spend 7 days in a psyche ward. His anxiety is way worse than mine & he had some sort of meltdown. Part of which was caused by the COVID he had. He wasn't sleeping either & the dr. never dealt with it. Because of the virus they have to stay 7 days and get a court order to get out. Poor kid was scared to death. This is a trying time for everyone. I think it's important that we try to be better to one another. There's enough hate & scamming going on in this world without everyone else joining in.

That cat looks like our beloved Audra. She's been gone for more than 25 years now but I still miss her.

Thank you

@OneEyedDiva yeah I broke a rib coughing.

@RadishRose ...I kinda wondered about that.

On the bright side I did get a very nice email from my boss wishing me a speedy recovery but telling me not to worry because I had enough Earned Illness to be off till I need to come back. LOL! I've got 254 hrs between the EIB and the ETO. So I will let the doc know that on Monday. That's like around 30 days? If my math is right. Which is iffy.

Willie...I prefer coffee too.
 
Monday

Not doing nothin but resting. I gotta go out Friday & pick up my other narco scrip. Then I'm back in till Monday. I will let the doc know I have some time to burn to heal and maybe she'll let me hang out at home.
