Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

I did have a happy birthday! My brother texted me in the morning to invite me out to lunch. It was a rare treat to go out socially at all, and I don't get to see him often, so it was very nice. I took a nap when I got home, and we ordered out for dinner. Corey bought me lovely anniversary and bday cards, and was in a good mood again. Everybody remembered my birthday- with the exception of one of my aunts and my cousin, who also "forgot" the two prior years, so whatever.

I'm sorry that I haven't been on the forum lately. I feel like I missed a lot... too much
I've been losing time, which tends to happen when I'm overwhelmed. I've also been waking up later than usual because I have been feeling especially tired and shitty.

I had a PT appointment on Monday morning at 9:30. I felt terrible when I got up, but felt well enough after my shower to go. But when I got there, just on the walk in I got so dizzy and lightheaded, I had to tell the receptionist I didn't feel safe to get into the pool and had to go home. I laid on the couch until noon because I had the ultrasound at 1pm.

Thank God the test for blood cancer came back normal!!!
All the u/s showed was that I had enlarged lymph nodes in my groin. My PCP referred me for a consult with a general surgeon for a possible biopsy. The appt. isn't until August 14th. I hope that they will go away by then, and the appt. will be unnecessary.
I still have an MRI scheduled for the 17th. I see my neurologist on the 20th, and the MRI will be useful to him, so I guess I will go through with it.

NOW the right side of my (exterior) throat is swollen and I have swollen lymph nodes above/under my collar bones. Still no fever. I don't want to send a message to my PCP right now because I'm certain he thinks I'm a PITA and/or a hypochondriac. I'm thinking of waiting until next week to message him about it if that s- is still there... IDK... I will have to think about it.

I got my new Keurig... I ended up using my 20% off coupon from BBB, but still paid more than I wanted to to get the one I wanted and had the most positive reviews. So far, we're both very happy with it

The AC in my car has been blowing hot air for a few days now. Driving has been miserable! I bought a can of refrigerant yesterday. I guess it's easy to put in... Corey will be doing that this afternoon or tomorrow morning. The fact that we have to do that at all doesn't bode well. We probably have a leak or something...

We should start seriously considering buying a new car soon, but we are overspending, and will have to tighten our boot straps a bit... like stop ordering out so often, and stop buying things like Keurig's and Coach bags lol

Rocky is doing okay. I got in trouble with Corey last night because he caught me letting him lick some ice cream cake off a spoon
He's been all over me this morning, following me everywhere and constantly seeking attention, which is a little unusual for him, but I'm not complaining

I have to do grocery shopping today. The trip will be even more unpleasant than usual with no AC in the car. I should have gone this morning when it was cooler, but I am dragging a-

I have been turning my A/C off when I get out of my car. And then
when I get in turning my car on. And then turning it on. Usually
within a short period I get cool air. If I leave the air on, then I get
hot air most the time. Usually this works, sometimes it doesn't
if its really hot outside.

Donna, it's been really hot here, too. I know you are heat intolerant like me. Have Dale buy a can of refrigerant to put in your car for you

I remember how much you spent to fix your AC, Bizi. I really don't want to pay for an expensive repair like that. I'd rather keep filling it up with freon until trading it in to buy a new car, but I don't know how realistic that it is. Depending on what the problem is, the refrigerant could leak out really fast.
Corey hasn't put it in yet. He got home late from work yesterday, so he's going to do it today.

I have no idea how I got my a- to and through the grocery store yesterday, but I managed to do it, even tho I should not have done it. I wish I knew WTF was wrong with me so I could get on the road to feeling better because this just f- stinks. I can't tell you how f- miserable I feel, and how frustrated I am...

Yes, Kay Dale has put in in my car once already this year. And will
again if necessary. Its just that it will get bad again and that is
the pits. So I do what I can to make it work.

Just life. I try to never go out in the really bad weather.

I hate "helping" Corey do anything because he gets anxious and very unpleasant. Since he won't read or listen to directions, but I will and did, and watched him do it, I know he didn't add the refrigerant correctly. But the air blowing out of the AC is a little bit cooler now, so he must have gotten some in there. IDK if he wants to buy another bottle and try again today, or what, but I could probably do it myself if I read the directions enough times before doing it.

We went out to lunch to celebrate our anniversary yesterday. We went to a Japanese restaurant that opened recently and sat at a Hibachi grill. The food and entertainment was excellent! I think it's the best one we've ever been to. It was very nice to go out together.
I've gone out socially twice in less than a week... VERY rare.

We have to do laundry today. Tons of fun!
