I went to the doc today and she wanted a bunch of blood. I went to the lab and the idiot decided to fish for a vein instead of listening to me. She blew the vein by going up and down and back and forth hoping to get it. She finally gave up but only after it started bruising with the needle in there. There was also a large lump. Great.

The cat is living up to Tom’s favorite nick name for her. POOPCAT!

Darn you Amazon! Why must you tease me with your Amazon Fresh?? WHY?
I received an email this morning that says Amazon Fresh will no longer have pick-up locations. That is a big pita because they do not deliver to my centrally located Ballard address! In addition to it being helpful while I am a gimp… it was making Tom very happy because he hates the grocery store. None the less… that is over and now I get to listen to his whining every time we go to QFC or whole foods.
Today I have officially been off one foot for six weeks. Who would have thought I would make it this long? None the less, I go to the doc on Monday and should be allowed to walk.
Also, to those dorks that want to keep Denny’s in Ballard…. it would be great if you could come clean up the homeless people that are now sleeping there with their comfortable mattresses. Tom is tired of getting yelled at when he walks by.

Well, it seems the real estate agent I used to buy my condo was on Oprah today. Oprah (or Nate?) redid his entire house in Kirkland. There is more information here. It was pretty nutty. Anyway, he’s an agent with Windermere. If you are in need of a house, you can find more information about him here. What is up with Oprah actually being interesting lately (well for me at least… Tom still hates it)? Anyway….
In other news, since Tom is into those weird interent things like 4chan and ED… we were down at the local Scientology church on Sunday. There are some pictures however since I am gimped up, we stayed in the car. If you are at all interested in my lame pictures, you can find them here.
My foot is doing ok but I am very worried about walking on it. It’s very sensitive and still painful. I guess I’ll worry about that next week.

Today on Oprah she has teenagers who had weight loss surgery. A 13 yr old who went to Mexico with her mother to have lap band. She said the reason she had it is because she was just gaining weight and had no idea why. She also laughed after each answer to Oprah’s questions. Yeah, the location of the moon caused the weight gain. I totally have the same problem. Darnit! (puke)
I hope someone gets these kids help. Addiction transfer is very high with weight loss surgery. I would hate to see a 16 yr old addicted to the bottle because they learned to self sooth with food. What is wrong with this world?
Therapy, diet, exercise. Rise and Repeat.

I went to the doc this last week and lost 2 pounds. I am doing pretty decent for being off one foot. Anyway, when I go to the foot doctor and see how weird my leg looks I said “so I lost two pounds this week” and she said “yeah it was muscle… er was that the wrong thing to say?”
Yes, that was.

I am now out of the cast and into a really annoying blue boot. I can wiggle my foot around which seems to cause intense pain my calf and hamstring muscles. I am still two weeks out from walking but none the less, I am moving along. I finally was able to itch like a normal person and get the icky surgery goop off my leg. The scar on my heel is really screwed up and I am not ok with it. As such, I refuse to look at it and even more refuse to touch it of course. Tom seems to really enjoy seeing it.
Yesterday I rolled all over downtown Seattle and had my hair done. That was an interesting experience. Why does it seem like all Spa/Salon places are not ADA compliant? This time, I had to roll down a very steep hill to go in another door to get to the bottom floor. I also got to ride on my first wheelchair elevator. That was fun once he figured out how to use it.
In additional to the foot issue, I have a slight thyroid issue. I had another set of lab work done this week and even after 2-3 months of treatment, my results actually went in the wrong direction. It explains why I am always dragging during the afternoon. Anyway, she doubled my dose so hopefully that will help. Work has been extremely stressful lately so it would be nice if I don’t need toothpicks to hold my eyes opened after 12PM.
On the way to whole foods yesterday, we saw someone wearing a jacket that said “911 was an inside job”. At first I thought, what is wrong with 911? Is it a joke from the 411 folks? What? Then Tom read it out loud and I realized he was talking about 9/11. Darn.
Oh and I am really tired of the cat waking up at 6am everyday. I know your nose is cold kitty… I don’t need to verify this every morning.
