Nice Day Today
Today my back is feeling better. I don't know what it was that caused it to be so off yesterday. It's not fully healed and back to normal (I'm on a heating pad right now, actually), but it's so much better than yesterday. It hurts less today with no Vicodin than it did yesterday on Vicodin. I took some Excedrin Migraine today for the headache that's been following me around for over a month and a half now, and that seemed to work. I spent the day feeling pretty good overall. I was in minimal pain and my mood was good. I had the windows open and I was enjoying the mild weather and the breeze. I love being in Miami sometimes, and December is one of those months where it's good to be in Miami. I wish it was a bit cooler (it was in the mid-70's today) but it's still nice. Overall, it was just a really nice day. I hope I have more of these days.
Since November was a more difficult month, I'm hoping that December will continue with the trend and be a good month. So far it's been a good month. I had a bit of difficultly the first day, but since then I've been good. I hope to keep myself out of the hospital. I'm going to try and go see the bad doctor tomorrow, and see how it goes with him, what he wants me to do. I want to try and see the good doctor first, but if I can't see him then I will see the bad one. I will settle for that if I have to. I need to talk the good doctor into accepting people without insurance lol. He and I are on good terms, since I work at the clinic and see him there occasionally. He stops by and says hi when I'm working at the information desk. He's a nice doctor.
Mood today was good. I went for a walk today, and had a new record for my 2-mile walk: 54 minutes. I'm going to have trouble beating that time! I was feeling great today and wanted to walk more, but I didn't know how far I could go without pushing myself too far, so I just did 2 miles. I probably could have done 2.5 miles, but I wanted to be careful. I didn't want to push myself since my ankle has been giving me problems lately. Plus, I wanted to have the record time for the 2 miles rather than push myself farther and get not such a good time. I might have even been able to do another 5k today, but I wanted to be cautious. Now I know when I feel good I can push myself and still be able to get a good time on my walks. Not only did I make good time, I had a good time. I was listening to my music and good songs came on, and I was singing along with them. I was almost dancing while walking listening to some songs.
Today I was in bed for a decent part of the day, on the computer and reading. I was thinking of a Stephen King story lying in bed this morning when I woke up, so after being on the computer for a while I got up and read the stories I was thinking about. I love Stephen King stories, especially his short stories. I want to start reading Joe Hill, his son's books, since I hear that they are good. Geo was giving me a hard time today about not wanting to watch a horror movie, but I love horror stories. It's just that in a book there are no jump scares. I just didn't feel like being jump scared tonight. It's rare that I will feel like it, but there are times when I'm okay with it. I was kinda upset that Geo made such a big deal out of me not wanting to watch a silly movie, but oh well. I dealt with it okay. I just went and ate dinner and let him get it out of his system and came back and talked to him when we were both a bit more rational. Not like we were fighting or anything, just wanted to give him time to calm down a bit, and for me to be able to think more clearly.
Food today was okay. I ate a decent amount of calories today, and good food. I had 2 bananas and some carrots and ranch dressing along with my regular chicken, corn, and today cookies and ice cream. I also had some yogurt. I've been trying to eat calcium rich foods and take calcium since I'm on the Depo shot and it can lead to some bone loss. I have to take calcium without vitamin D, though, since I spend time in the sun and I get too much Vitamin D. It hurts my hips when I take calcium with Vitamin D, so I eat Tums. Stress today was high when Geo was giving me trouble, but I passed it over fast. Sleep last night was good.. I got about 12 hours plus an hour nap. Mood today has been good again... let's hope I can have another 2 good months in a row! Actually, all good months from now on!
