the_rckMy breast is very definitely swelling. Last week, I noticed that one of my three front closure bras was painfully tight on that side. Today, I’m noticing that a second bra is painfully tight on that side when it wasn’t last week. The third bra is still okay, and since it actually has the manufacturer’s name on it, I was able to order more of that type. I just don’t know when they’ll arrive. They only shipped yesterday. My original plan was to send Scott to the Walmart in Ypsi for the bras, but the Walmart website said that the local store didn’t have them.
I managed to do the dishes and run a load of laundry yesterday. The dish towels that Scott had used to clean the fridge the other day were very nasty. I had a lot of trouble being close to them long enough to get them downstairs and into the washing machine. I also made potato soup from a mix. By the time I finished that, standing up seemed like way too much for me to manage.
I still haven’t made my character for our game session this evening. It’s been more than I’ve felt I could deal with, to the point that I’m actually considering asking Scott to crunch the numbers. I’m tired enough that I’m not very invested in anything particular about my (very vague) character idea.
I will see a nutritionist today. I think that most of the issues that made me ask for the appointment were caused by the naproxen, so I’m feeling less urgent about the whole thing. On the other hand, I’m not eating particularly well. It frustrates me that I had to figure out for myself that the problem was the naproxen. Everything I complained about was very clearly listed on the Medline entry for naproxen, and they see a lot of people who are taking naproxen and similar medications. None of the nurses I talked to had actually bothered to look at my records. The one I spoke to on Monday didn’t know what medications I was taking. She suggested the over the counter version of something I’ve been taking at prescription strength for years. She didn’t even know that I have GERD. I don’t really see an excuse for that given that all of that information is in their online system and was accessible to her if she bothered to look.
I’m still debating the question of whether or not to change my treatment schedule. I suspect that the deciding factor will be the level of swelling (which is making me lean toward doing it). I’m just trying to come to terms with the likelihood that I won’t be up to doing the usual things (mostly cooking stuff) at Christmas time.
We watched Supergirl Monday night after Cordelia went to bed and then, again, last night because Cordelia wanted to see it. I like the idea of the main villain being a woman, but I’m iffy on her being family. I feel like the places that could go are fairly cliched. Apart from that, the show seemed decent enough. I’m not hugely enthusiastic about superheroes in general. I don’t hate them or anything. I just don’t care very much.
