I'm back

It's still cold. Big surprise! I'm waiting for hot water for tea. I have medicated myself and need some rest. I worked today which might not have been a smart thing. But I needed fresh air...and I got plenty of it. With white flakes. Horizontal white flakes!

I still have this cough that is rough enough to unblock something internal. I sound like a 75 year smoker. Wait a second...I mean I sound like a person who has been smoking for 75 years!! Yeah! That's what I meant!! The fever is gone which is a good thing. Since it's impossible for me to have a hot shower tonight (see previous post)...I'll settle for steam from the tea cup. Small sacrifices. Actually...large sacrifice.

We have to go to the VA tomorrow in Big Spring. We'll put a few more miles on 'ole Nellie...

It will be at least an overnighter so I can hopefully soak in a hot and preferably screaming hot tub. I should take some eucalyptus with me. Or melt a jar of Vick's in it.

I'm surprised the VA called back as quickly as they did for Husband. DR in Ft Stockton had said it would most likely be 10-15 days to co-ordinate all tests needed...so this is great. I can't remember if I explained all of the 'back issues' (I'm sure I have) but the condition may (finally) be at the surgery level. And at this point, the damage is exacerbating the leg and foot pain. A vicious cycle. Makes Husband a pain the ass to live with. Even more than usual.

I'm drinking tea with milk and sugar. It's good. I should shake some cinnamon in it. Wait a second...I'll be right back.

Mmmmm...good. I used to drink it this way when I was young.

I guess I'll get some sleep now. It will be a long day tomorrow. Have a good one!

Afterthought - maybe I need some cinnamon on toast??
