I called her last night and she said they put a metal cover over it to protect it from pressure. fortunately she was able to wear it with her shoe. She said it did not hurt.
Home health is there today and they will know how to treat it...or so that is what the walk in clinic people said.
It will require dressings I believe....sigh
have a great weekend!
I have the morning off because a client canceled last night, wnted to be seen next month.
So I thought I would have some time to do some charting.
Instead, I read some of the paper, got on line and read my different forums and face book, email etc. I had put some oil on my hair, I should of last night....Part of the treatment of my damaged hair....I will shower this morning and wash my hair and deep condition it with a "mask" I do this every time I wash my hair now...1-2 times per week.
I told my therapist that I have this issue with showering. I would like to go to the gym and really work up a good sweat on the tred mill but then I would have to take a shower....
She did not respond.
I have no idea what that is about.
I got up at 7:30 this morning...and actually thought that I had enough time to go to the gym and work out because I already had planned a shower for today....
did not happen....
sigh

Shower completed!
Letting my damp hair dry a bit before blow drying it.
I get my hair colored/conditioner tomorrow afternoon, no more bleach ever again on this hair! I do see a client in the morning, not until 10 so I can sleep in still, she is close by so will set the alarm for 9.
I will have salmon for lunch today always yummy.
Seeing a hospice client this afternoon. I only volunteer once a month or so, my schedule has been so busy that I had to turn them down for a while there.
I work sunday as well, going to see three people in the same house, in the afternoon so can sleep in and have brunch with hubby before I have to go.
Nice people.
I love my job!!!

I actually did some paper work!
And survived a planned trip to whole foods for friends and fun.
Trivia night in the bar. We did not do that well but had fun!
And I did not drink and had fun.:)
Ate too much but hey, there is always another day.
My client tomorrow is further away than I thought so I will have to get up earlier.
(should that be then or is than correct?)
Oh well.
If I get to bed at a decent time then I can still get a good night sleep.
thanks for reading!

Hi, Bizi,

How many visits have you had with this new therapist?
I am glad that she helped you with the toe issue.

======
Yes. Do this your way. Take care of yourself. Good job on tracking it.
Maybe pick your own number. Do it five days at a time for 20 times. That gets you to 100.
We do not have to do our taxes that way.
Starting this year, hubby is supposed to walk his stuff into the IRS office and let them do it for us!
(There was a big snafu last year, so the IRS will do it for us for now on.)

People do not understand unless they have this same "non-showering-type of bipolar."

I hate washing so much that I used to go to the gym and come home and not shower at, all,. . . . even waiting a few more days.
It was extra gross because I consider the gym to be a germ-y place.

Lately, I do not go to the gym and I shower about every six days.
I force myself to shower/wash to avoid rashes.
(As you can see, I am not embarrassed about it.)
It is crummy but that's how it is.

thank you mari,
I am glad that at least you get it.

Bizi, I'm so sorry about your client's toe… I thought it was a little nick… and I made light of it. I'm sorry. I'm glad it doesn't hurt her, and I hope it heals soon.

I'm so glad you had fun at trivia night AF! :)

We will both be pampered at the beauty salon today! I hope your hair comes out the way you want it.

It's strange your therapist didn't respond re: showering. It seems like something that she should have commented on. I don't think it's that unusual for people who are bipolar. A friend of mine (also bipolar) showers once a week.

It is nice to have friends that can understand what we go thru!

me am home alone hubby has a gig.
he won't be home until 1030 or so....tried to get one of my friends to do something with. Nope it is raining and they are poops.

very blond now.

Bizi, I am drooling about your yummy meals :D.

Massage has helped me a lot with my sore shoulder (I suspect mild osteoarthritis) and I hope that will help you as well.

massage therapy may be allowed using the HSA health savings account.
I would have to ask the human resources dept, that is have jeff ask.
We are supposed to have $1300 in the account but it says 0....so jeff needs to go and find out.

tonight I watched 6 episodes of the big bang theory show in a row.
It is a funny show.
I never watch stuff by myself. I was thinking earlier that I could easily drink the beers that are in the cupboard...no one would know.
But I thought that I am strong enough to do this challenge.
So instead I ate 2 apples and drank some grapefruit la croise sparkling water, sunflower seeds, almonds, dried cherries, truffles....I am stuffed.
We ate pizza for dinner tonight, not very good. Even though it was a paul newmans one supposed to be healthier than other pizzas.
It was just fair.
Not convinced that it was cooked all the way.
Jeff said some of his was cold.
He had to hurry and go to his "Sky liners" gig.
Think 1940's big band music, 18 piece jazz band.
He looks great in a tux!
I have heard them perform a couple of times before. Not really fun to go by myself.
My friend stephanie said she would go with me next time in 2 months.
He is due home in half an hour so that is good.
Maybe I could clean my bathroom floor.:eek:
I think I could do that in a half an hour.
It is sticky from the hair spray build up and every time I spray wet my hair it just makes it more sticky.
YUCK!
I think I will clean it, gasp!
