Sunday, September 27, 2020 I chose to stay in my jammies all day. It was a hot day, high of 97 F. I spent time on Suburban Married Lady before doing dishes and making supper. I took Emily out in my jammies and robe, using the 6-ft. leash and attached collar that I retrieved from…

The Rest of the Week
My mouth was numb pretty much for the rest of the day on Monday after having that filling. I was very hungry but I waited an hour or so before eating, and I deliberately tried to chew mostly on the other side of my mouth. I spent a little time working on Arlene Taylor’s web…
Dentist After Lockdown
It was exactly 4 months after this cleaning was originally scheduled (May 21) that Golden State Smiles was able to reschedule the appointment. I arrived 10 minutes early because I didn’t know exactly what to expect, other than being instructed to wear a mask. There were 6 chairs in the waiting room that normally held…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 12
Tuesday, September 1, 2020 We had a rather uneventful shopping day in Alameda–post office, Walgreen’s, Safeway. I put Linda’s buttermilk in grocery bags that zip, and she also took the corners very carefully and slowly so nothing could have spilled. I was glad to see Julie Whitehead facilitating the meditation and discussion. The topic was…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 11
Tuesday, August 25, 2020 I really needed this online group today! When we got home from Alameda this morning, one of the grocery bags in the back had turned completely upside down onto the floor of the back, and it was impossible to open the door without getting one of the half gallons of Linda’s…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 10
I’m still obsessing about the edema in my feet! The tingling and numbness is constant now and there’s additional pain in the joints of my 3rd and 4th toes on my right foot. I have ordered a foot massager with the trigger points, compression socks (knee-high), and a metal shoe horn, which are due to…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 9
Today started at 0-dark thirty to get to Alameda by 8 o’clock and into Trader Joe’s senior line, which was the shortest today that I’ve ever seen it, only back to the South Shore administrative offices. My shopping went fairly quickly and they had everything on my grocery list. Except for what I knew I…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 8
Linda had her first Zoom meeting with her rheumatologist yesterday. Apparently, he isn’t seeing any patients in his office. I think it went well. We went to Alameda today, first to the post office (outside mailbox), then Walgreen’s and Safeway. Everything went well. We didn’t get home until 3 o’clock, so there wasn’t time to…
Kaiser Pain Management Group online, Session 7
Today was a busy day! It started at 0’dark-thirty when we got up early to get to Trader Joe’s by 8 o’clock for the seniors line, which actually went pretty fast today. Safeway took longer, only because I was looking at low-carb ice cream and verified that all three brands—Rebel, Halo Top, and Enlightened—have monkfruit…
