I kinda feel like one of the nurses in the hospital wards. One of the things I dislike most when in hospital is how they keep checking on you every couple of hours on your bowel movements. It's worse when it's in the middle of the night and they keep interrupting your sleep to do that, take your blood pressure and dispense your medication.
Once, I was woken up 6 times in the night and I was so completely stoned the next morning that the doctor panicked because they thought I was having a relapse. Puhleease, try to be coherent if you have 20 different medications in you and were woken 6 times during the night!
Anyway, this is a much saner and civilised version of the status checks.
Bowel movements - none of your beeswax but I'm still waiting for my housemate to get out of the loo. Who says women take a longer time in the loo than men?
Dermatitis check - I ran my hands over my face & neck and pain was on a level of 3/10. An improvement over yesterday where it was 5/10. So that's fairly good.
Pain check - 3/10, which is very good. Back hurts just a little but then again I have not done any standing or walking yet. Neck hurts a little more than normal though, which is a little puzzling. Not sure what is going on there. Hands feel good too, but again, it's because typing this is the first physical activity I have used them for. Let's see how they go after I prepare tea. Hips and shoulders feels sore but that's normal but at least the legs, knees and ankle feel quite pain free. No migraine or nausea too! That's beyond brilliant. Feet and toes a stiff though even after the warm-up exercises. Sigh. Glass half full though. Psych.
Hydration - I do not feel parched as I normally do so that's great. I wonder what changed as I did not change any my hydration routine yesterday.
Mystery sweet taste in mouth check - For the 1st time in a week I do not have the persistent sweet after taste on my tongue. That is such a relief. I was starting to worry if this may be yet another wrench hurled into my failing wheels. Will monitor just in case. The fear is strong in me.
Vision check - It's good. The left eye irritation of last night is gone. Am not sensitive to light today and the swirling lights are not in resident so I am a happy camper.
Energy level - Quite high as it is still a fresh day so I better take advantage of it and go sort out what I am going to prepare for tea.
OK, the left shoulder and arm are starting to hurt at an increasing speed with all this typing (so the left side cannot hold out for more than 40 mins - that kinda sucks) so I better rest for a wee bit now.
