What a mess! They should provide a temporary solution of some kind
that gets you free and clean water.

The newish medical problems started before the water problems.

The lady I spoke to at the Water Department said I could come pick up some "Red Be Gone," but that s-'s useless because there are so many solids in the water.

The water is still not suitable for drinking or cooking because it's still discolored and has undissolved solids in it. Fortunately due to MY plunging, the tub is draining much better (for now). The screen in the bathroom faucet has to be taken out and soaked in CLR, or maybe replaced... close to no water coming out.

I finally caught a break!!! With tax and the oil change, the cost of the car repairs was only $930! It's still a lot of money, but it's a lot less than I anticipated
There were some misadventures when I went to pick up the car, so I wasn't very happy, but it's not worth going into detail about tho.

I was not really worried about the MRI or the appointment with my neurologist. I have a couple of new lesions, but that's not unexpected. There were changes to my physical exam compared to the last one, but that wasn't a surprise either, since I had a relapse since the last time I saw him. He was happy the PT is going well, and I caught him up on all the other crap going on. I see him again in 3 months.

I got to take a look at the results for the tests my nephrologist ordered. They are pretty much unchanged since the last time I had them checked, so I am VERY HAPPY.

I am very glad that you are happy with the results.
((((HUGS)))))

I keep forgetting that as of Friday I am now 3yrs sober.

I don’t know if I forgot because I was wrapped up in all the business with the car, or if I forgot because not drinking is just business as usual for me now, and “anniversaries” like this just aren’t as significant anymore. Maybe both.

That is utterly fantastic!

Congratulations on your 3 years of sobriety. That is great news.

congratulations Kay!!!!!!
You are awesome!...time flies by doesn't?

Kay

3 years is fantastic. I'm so proud of you.

Maybe now you can also think of getting your a/c fixed as the gift
of the 3 years.

Donna

Congrats, Kay!

Celebrate every success.

Thank you all!

At long last, we have clear water again!!!
That doesn't mean that I won't be calling the water department, or city hall today tho. At the very least they have to notify us ahead of PLANNED repairs.

Our tub is REALLY clogged. I have to call the office to get someone from maintenance over to here have it fixed. I want to shower beforehand, and tidy up a bit cuz I don't want anyone in here if the place is too messy...

I decided I needed a nap on Saturday, and I slept for about 5hrs. But on Sunday, Corey told me I looked like I needed to go lay down, so I did, and I slept for about 4 1/2 hrs.
So, we never got to the laundromat. Taking a small load myself seems unlikely because I've been feeling so miserable.

I was feeling so shitty, and had no answers, I stopped taking Allegra a while ago because it was the last med I had added before my sx started. I didn't notice any difference tho. At some point (just) my heart palpitations went away... it had to be the Allegra cuz I started taking it again, and after 5-6 days on it, the heart palpitations came back. Obviously, I won't be taking it anymore.

My gastro called me yesterday while I was sleeping (odd to call on a Sunday, right?) to ask how I'm doing, and to ask why I haven't set up an appointment for a surgical consult (for the colorectal surgery I need) yet. I will call him tomorrow to let him know what's been going on.
I haven't been taking mag. citrate to go to the BR as often as I should because even if I sip it slowly and space it out, it has been making me throw up, and I have to sleep sitting up on the couch... and I thought there was no way it could be more unpleasant lol.
