Daily Update, July 8, 2024

    On Monday, I phoned Safeway pharmacy to order a refill. {Smile}

   Then I phoned my podiatrist. The gal suggested an appointment to get the nail looked at, and probably removed. I'd rather not remove the nail, but it's got a fungus that's still under it, so... we'll see what can be done. {smile}

   I also phoned the surgery's nurse. The first time, I left a message. The second time, I got her. We learned that the hospital will call me about scheduling a CT scan when they have confirmed things with my insurance, which hasn't called them back about this yet. I also asked about a binder for sleeping at night. She recommended trying the same one I'm using in the daytime first. If it really doesn't work, I can get another then. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that, but not much. I was a little late because of the game again. She seemed to be asleep when I went in, but opened her eyes when the nurse spoke to her and kept them open looking around at things even when there weren't many pictures. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. but I wasn't very far when the nurse interrupted me, saying he was sorry, but he needed to take care of Mom, and no, it couldn't wait. I asked about continuing later, but he thought it would be best to read more the next day. {smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises, my standing arm weight training exercises, and my leg exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then late in the night, after I cleaned myself up after everything else that I did in the evening, I did my arm swinging exercises and my sitting arm weight training exercises, with a small break int eh middle of the sitting arm weight training exercises. {Smile}

   After breakfast, around the phone calls, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. After lunch, I read some comics and web fiction. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did a little paperwork, but mainly I found Dennis. We teamed up, and Azurette and Michiel joined us to do a story arc Dennis had. Pierogies joined us for in the first mission or two. It ran a little into time to read to Mom, but the last mission was short, so I stuck it out. I didn't get the hoped-for badge, though Dennis did; it was his story arc, so he should. He said we could try again a different way some other time. {Smile}

   Between reading to Mom and dinner, I began writing this up, as well as doing the exercises, because it took the nurse a while to help Mom. then after dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Pierogies, who invited me to do a mission with him. We ran it. Then he left for bed, happily tired. Next, I did some paperwork Then I played on a character who's been stuck in the tutorial, waiting for me to get her out of it. That night I got her out of it. I also chatted with Nox and Kitten on the chat server. Then I cleaned myself up. After that, I did more exercises. I also wrote a little of this and made more notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
