An Evening Entry/Last Entry of the night
With this entry being the last one of the day and now being evening and past 10 PM a little bit, I need to say that I have had quite an evening at home with no caregiver here after 4 PM. I have been watching Midsomer Murders until my internet/Wi-Fi went out. I called Spectrum and got it fixed, but I could not set my Wi-Fi on my TV because the TV remote fell on the floor, and I hav to wait until DH gets here at 7:30 AM. Despite my anxiety being aroused this evening, my ears are finally cooling down. When anxiety creeps up my ears get warm but are cool to the touch. When Spectrum resolved my Wi-Fi issue within twenty minutes and hung up. The poor man thought I was yelling at him, but I was not. I was anxious and mad that the Roku remote fell on the floor. Now, I have to wait until DH gets here at 7:30 AM to get the remote off the floor. I will call Spectrum tomorrow morning and talk to someone to send the gentleman my sincere apology even though before he hung saying, ‘she was yelling at me’ to his co-workers around him. Yep, I heard the man say that before he disconnected the line. I, personally thought, the man was rude by saying something to hid co-workers, but I am okay with it now anyway. I am still going to call Spectrum in the morning and call him on his discretion being stupid at time. Yeah, he was being dumb.
With the Roku TV remote on the floor until DH gets here at 7:30 AM, I have uploaded Pluto TV and Tubi onto my laptop. I will fiddle with my Roku system in the morning. The Wi-Fi is now working with me being online on my phone and iPad. I am watching and listening to Midsomer Murders on Tubi right now since my Roku remote is on the floor underneath the table at this time. I have told you that I have had fine despite being at dialysis today and out the door by 2:55 PM ready to go home for the next two days for Thanksgiving Day on November 23, 2023, this year. At least the Wi-Fi works in my home again with SpectrumSetup-6B tonight.
With having to go to dialysis today on Tuesday morning, JP and I saw a large crowd of tenants in the lobby. The truth is one of the tenants said hi to JP because they saw her on the third-floor hallway from the ground floor because she was tall enough. I believe it was KH who said hi to JP. Anyway, we got to the ground floor and saw KW, JRS, KH, and a few others. JP recognized a neighbor and tried to help her remember how JP knew her. How sweet. This neighbor was new to me. I never saw her before. By 10:55 AM, my ride made herself known that she was outside. She was there for twenty minutes, and no one called to tell me. Anyway, JP and I did not join in on the big crowd of conversation this morning. When my ride arrived, we went outside and said our goodbyes and went our separate ways until 3 PM.
While JP has been nursing a headache all day, I was doing my best not to have an anxiety attack and have a crying spell at dialysis being dialyzed. Dr. A talked to all of his patients today, and when he got to me, I have to say I was happy ro see him to discuss my progress and last week’s labs. I am doing fine even though my potassium level was slightly elevated at 5.8, but that is not too bad. I had eaten some mashed potatoes a couple of days ago or three days ago. I also told him about the progress I was making at home and we no longer use the Hoyer or sling anymore. We still have the Hoyer and sling in case I have a fall while the caregivers are here. I am fine with my progress now. JP has plans for more progress of having more independence and do things on my own again.
JP’s Plans
Okay, I am fine with what JP is planning for my future at home. She wants to get rid of my old hospital bed and get my newer bed back in the living room so I will be closer to the bathroom in case I have to use the bathroom at night. I guess my dad and his wife SBK want to get me new furniture for the living room. I am excited to have my bed back in my bedroom myself, but with the holidays of Thanksgiving coming through New Years, I have to say that I want to get through and wait until until the first week of January 2024. I just want to survive the holidays and the switching the patients’ days at dialysis all around during the holiday season. I go back to dialysis tomorrow on Friday, and then have a Thanksgiving dinner with my parents on Saturday. I just want to get through the holidays right now. But JP has great plans I am going to work toward her goals for me as we plan to move back into the bedroom.
