I am so looking forward to this weekend and being able to rest up a bit. It has been a week of running around and appointments. I think I work harder now than when I actually had a job and was forced to work 60 plus hours...or perhaps I just feel it more.
It has been raining quite a bit lately...an event that is always welcomed in the desert lands of West Texas. I was secretly hoping that my doctor's appointment would be cancelled, as I hate driving in the rain.
The nurse practitioner as expected doubled my dosage of high blood pressure medication. Hopefully I will soon get it under control. On a positive note, I did not pay $95.00 for the office visit but $59.00 and my medication still falls in the $4.00 generic category even though the dosage is higher.
When she asked me if I had any other problems, I hesitated for a minute...then told her that my legs had been hurting due to the weather. She told me to take Tylenol. Did not want to mention anything about my diagnosis of Fibromyositis as I could see dollar signs dancing in my head.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Sometimes, I think I am psychic...remember I mentioned that only for one night we were the second seed? Well, I was right...only for one night, we are the sixth seed now. However, I do remember back when I followed the Houston Rockets, they managed to win a back to back championship against all odds and in that same seed...so why not us?
We had a severe electrical storm Wednesday night. I could not for the life of me get a decent reception either on the radio or online. I got one of my hunches and knew we would lose...so I just turned off the radio. While it does not rank up there with that prior "unmentionable loss"...it still stung!

Re-scheduled appointment
Last night the phone rang at 10:41 p.m. (yes, we still have a landline telephone) thought it was rather late for someone to be calling but picked it up nonetheless. It was the local hospital letting us know that the machine had broken so our appointment for this morning had to be cancelled.
This morning the telephone rang at 7:56 a.m. it was the hospital again letting us know that a technician was on her way from San Antonio to fix the machine and if I could bring my mother in this afternoon. I told her definitively not! Her tests require fasting and I was not going to let my mother go without eating until then and what was to guarantee me the machine would actually be fixed?
I believe she must have still been asleep and I snapped her out of it...she agreed to have someone call me back AFTER the machine was actually fixed so we could re-schedule her tests. I really did not mean to yell at her but sometimes I wonder what the heck some medical personnel are thinking!
In a way I am glad the appointment was re-scheduled because my legs in particular my right leg hurt more than usual since the pain began a couple of weeks ago. The pain begins in the upper thigh and it feels like my veins are stretching and I have a burning sensation. Today even the back of my leg hurt and it was a struggle to walk.
One of the reasons I began this blog was to document my day to day life due to my CRS (if you do not know what that is look on the upper right side of my blog). I remember this happening to me but only on one leg back in 2009 or was it 2010? However, I do not recall on which leg it occurred since I did not have a blog then :-(
That was the main reason I decided to have a Del Rio doctor. My doctor was voted the #1 in Del Rio in the local newspaper survey...so it is difficult to schedule an appointment with him. By the time he was able to see me, the pain was gone.
