What's Going On.
 

It was already 83 degrees when I left for PT this morning, and the pool area and water were very warm... not great conditions for me. So while I still did do all my exercises, I didn't do as many reps as usual.

If I wasn't in rough enough shape, now I have really big lumps on both sides of my goin area, and I'm getting sharp pain when I walk (and exercise). I also have smaller tender swollen lymph nodes in my armpits. I did a home test for a UTI, which was negative, and I don't have a fever or any other new symptoms aside from an upset stomach. I have no idea if this is in any way associated with the other BS I've been dealing with, or if I'm just really, really f- unlucky...
I have an appointment with the NP at my PCP's office tomorrow at 4:20pm, but if things go South before then, I'll go to Urgent Care, but someone would have to DRAG ME to the ER.

I wanted to wait to go to the dispensary to get more medical MJ until they had stuff in stock that I've tried before and had worked well, but I had to go today because I'm almost out. So, I had to buy two new kinds. I hope they work well...

I'm going to need a nap soon.

My anxiety has been up and down. I took an extra 1/4mg of Klonopin again this morning. I could use more, but then I wouldn't be able to drive...

I HATE that my appointment with the NP isn't until 4:20. It's nap time for me, and it'll be hot as hell out, but I had to take what I could get.
I'll give them some pee, and they can take blood, but I'm tired of all this f- ridiculous testing I've been having.

I have to hit the supermarket this morning. I was hoping to go really early to avoid the heat and the pre-Fourth of July crowd, but I also have to pick up scripts which won't be ready until 11 for some reason. It's about 9:15, and already 84 degrees out...

Take some more clonipin if you have extra.
I wonder what your NP said?
I am sorry you are going thru all of this.

I have LOTS of Klonopin... Even tho my anxiety is highest in the morning, and I need the Klonopin the most then, I'm just not comfortable, and I don't think it's wise, for me to take more than 1 1/4mg and drive. I take more when I get home if I feel I need it.

The NP didn't seem to have much experience with swollen lymph nodes in the crotch lol So, she asked the other NP (the doctors were all on vacation) for her input. Lyme disease came up, which would explain ALL the symptoms I have been having, but that would be too easy, wouldn't it? She's testing me for that, and a UTI, and ordered a CBC with diff (that I'm aware of). My eosinophil count has been high since September, so there's that, too...

I'm so very sad because I think that my Rocky is going to leave us soon :(:(:(
He doesn't seem uncomfortable at all, and we plan on letting him pass away peacefully, but if he starts to look like he's suffering at all, I will take him to the vet, who would probably want me to have him put down :(:(:(

I so hope you are wrong about Rocky.

Thank you, Bobby.
I hope so, too.

Animals can be amazing. I had a dog that looked like she was ready to pass several times, but the vet kept giving her another chance. She ended up living another year before we had to have her put down.

I am sorry about rocky, how old is he?
what are his symptoms?

I have no clue how old Rocky is, but I sure understand how sad that
can be.

We have had quite a few we had to worry about. Right now for a few
years we have worried about our oldest dog, Nipper. He joined our
household when we moved into this house when Derrick was 5 or 6.
Derrick is now 27. So he is 21 for sure. He disappeared on Friday
night to Saturday afternoon, I just couldn't find him. My husband was
missing part of the time working other houses getting things done.
I had to make him come around late on Saturday, to find the stinker
because he was worrying me. Expecting him to have gone and
died somewhere. Well I don't go in the basement, its just not safe
when I'm by myself. So he went down there and came back with
the little stinker. He was down there, and he is pretty much blind
and hears very little. So he had just walked in front of Dale, and
he carried him upstairs. He walks up and down the upstairs all
the time, and Dale says why wouldn't he walk up the stairs after
going down. I said, well the upstairs is covered and safe for him,
but the downstairs isn't he could fall all the way down I'm guessing
is why. And its cooler down there. It had gotten hot in the house.
Somehow the houses air had gotten turned down.

So now when he disappears he goes down to look or someone does.

Silly guy he just kind of runs the house. But he seems to think he
will live till he is 100 years old. But we realize it could be any day.
He is older than most chihuahuas are.
