It took me 35 minutes to get to work this morning. Don't know what caused the traffic to be so slow. Went to get a cup of coffee and couldn't even pick up the cup with my left hand; my elbow was hurting so bad. Kim looked at it and it was swollen, red and feverish. She said I needed to go to the doctor. I had an eye appointment at 9:15. Of course, they dialated my eyes, but my eyes are very healthy. She changed my prescription and ordered my contacts. (They never have the ones I need in the office.) After leaving there, I went straight to Seawind Medical Clinic. I used to go there exclusively, but changed to a doctor closer to work. Seawind is clear across town. I had to wait for three hours to see the doctor in an office full of sick people with the flu. I was able to sit away from the majority of the people who were so sick.
When I finally saw the doctor, she said I had tennis elbow. I laughed and told her I hadn't played tennis in almost 40 years. She gave me a funny look, looked at my chart and said "No way!" I said "What's wrong?" She said "I thought you were in your late 30's. I can't believe you're about to be 56. You have taken very good care of yourself." I laughed, said "Thank you, but I think you're the one who needs to see the eye doctor." It did make me feel pretty good though. (Now if I could get my body to look that good.) My blood pressure was up - 150/90. Gotta keep a watch on that, too. I think it was up because I was in pain - elbow and headache from having my pupils wide open for so long. The Dr. told me to get a band that goes on the forearm and gave me a prescription for the inflammation.
When I got in my car, I found three calls from Daddy. He needed me to buy groceries for him after work. I made it back to work at 2:30. Only got a couple of day's timesheets done, so I'm still behind. Will really be playing catch-up the rest of the week. Would normally have worked till 5:30 or 6:00 to catch up and not have to show so much time for sick leave, but I had to leave at 4:30 to buy Daddy's groceries. Because it was the first of the month, the store was packed. And Daddy had a long list, so it took till almost 6:00 to get the groceries. Took them to him and put them up, then took him to the AmVets.
I was so tired when I got home and I have a really bad headache. Tabitha and Trent came over with chicken and dumplings. God bless her. I was thinking about going to PoFolks and getting a bowl. For some reason, chicken soup or chicken and dumplings just make me feel better. Vance just wanted french fries for supper. He's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow to find out the results of the ultrasound he had done. I'm praying for a good report.
Grandma Rose called to chat. Mac is back home and doing great. Praise the Lord.
Okay, I'm really getting tired. I'm going to bed. Goodnight and God bless..........
