Sweaty, exhausted, and feeling oddly accomplished. We’re now settled into our room and are trying to get comfortable. For now, I will enjoy the cats at J’s and get kitty loves when I can.Īnyhow, we loaded up the minivan with quite a bit of my belongings and hit up In & Out Burgers for dinner. No way I’m breaking up that power trio even if I could. While I’d take him back in a heartbeat, he’s settled there and C&D have become accustomed to having him in their lives.

I got to see Fletch! OMG! He’s so stinkin’ sweet. We made great time, dumped our meager belongings at the hotel (a $200 room for $35 because J works for the hotel chain and this is one of the perks), then headed over to my sister’s. And honestly, I’m in awe that J does this trip frequently. Two chatty little ones and two chatty grown-ups. This past Tuesday, J and I drove her kids up to Vegas to be with their dad. So I’m taking what I can get this time around and will schedule more for September when I go back to get the remainder of my stuff. I’m also supposed to have a pain management appointment after, but there’s a problem with authorization (of course!). Thus, my San Diego doctor was kind enough to set up the test I needed. However, this particular study did NOT include transportation for 2-3 appointments a week for the first month and I most certainly can’t afford to Uber 70 miles round trip that often. The study would have covered the scan and whatever treatment is necessary. While chances are this is another health problem related to Covid, I opted out of the study here because it ended up too far away from where I live. It’s necessary since I’ve had intermittent bouts of urinating bright red blood. We’re doing a quick trip to get as much of my belongings as we can fit in a van and also for a bladder/kidney scan (one of the more exciting exams one can ever schedule). Then it’s back to Phoenix with my friend J. I’d try to squeeze it in on Monday while I’m there, but that’s not optimal as far as timing and such. Of course, I need to make a special appointment with my ophthalmologist in San Diego very soon. I did the whole close one eye to test my vision thing and BAM! All I had was colorful blurry blobs in my right eye. I woke up and my eye was a little sore, a little itchy, but nothing major…until I started to get on with my day and realized my right eye felt “off”. It’s just a worsening of the cataract that I needed to have surgery on last year, but didn’t because I had nowhere to stay during the surgery and recovery time.Įverything was fine until about 10 days ago. It’s been about that long since I basically lost all but the blurriest vision in my right eye. It’s been on a near constant loop in my brain for the past 7 to 10 days. What that woman, Lord, been doin’ to me…” Marshall Tucker keeps playing in my head these days.
