Are you wearing green today??? I'm not..my sole green shirt has stains on it so It's off to the salvage bag. so...what's going on in my life after the last post..quite a lot, I think!
I finally got my Access pass.... The first time I took a ride I thought I would never get back home! For my 3 PM appointment my ride came around quarter to ten. This appointment was in Seattle, mind you - not clear up in Bellingham or somewhere - I was the only passenger and we arrived at the Tukwila transfer station and I transferred to another bus...still the only passenger....picked up a new person....then a round=about trip and finally arrived at the Polyclinic at2:30!!..Then I waited for the bus which was to come between 3:30 and 4.....it did...I was the second passenger and we picked up another one at the "addiction and rehab center" - which I never even knew was there...Off we went round and round...finally ended up on the West Seattle Bridge because passenger #3 lived there...okay...back across the bridge and another somewhat harrowing trip through Seattle and ended up right behind the SE Seattle Senior Center at the apartments there..dropped off #2 and while backing out, the van clipped a parked car. The driver did get out and looked to see if there was any damage and determined there was no damage...then it was my turn....and I got home at 6:45!!!! I could not believe it! so...yesterday it was time to go again...It was my first day back to volunteer..so they picked me up about 10:30...and we went to the SE Bellevue Park & Ride.. to pick someone up....and...wonder of wonders got on the freeway. The driver didn't get off at the right place to get me where I needed to go..and I questioned him about this but he had to pick up another passenger...in China Town and then got right to my place...and I only was a half hour early so that was okay..then the ride home came when it was supposed to (between 4:30 and 5), and we arrived at the Tukwila station for another soul....I got home about 6:30 - sort of in time for a cold meal of corned beef and cabbage they were having down in the social room. So that trip wasn't nearly as bad as the first one...still...I had best plan to take the entire day whenever I need it. Not so sure I like it...but it's what I need to get around so I'd better suck it up and get used to it.!
I have finally found a physical therapist who is making my back feel better....she is massaging my back muscles which were really tight. The massage lasts several days before I start to ache again. She also tapes my back tight - thus I stand up straighter! To get to the PT I use a senior service called Hyde Shuttle....free....but it only goes around Renton so I can't use it for my Dr. appointments....
I have been having trouble swallowing things..so need to go for an Endoscopy on the 26Th...guess my esophagus has swelling. I won't have to rely on Access then...they put me out so Dian will take me. Not really looking forward to that.
Since getting to the pharmacy is now difficult, I decided to get my meds by mail...so signing up for that. They send my prescriptions one at a time...90 day supply...I cant figure out why they do it this way.. I wish they would hurry and send my sleeping pills quickly.....maybe on Monday...the first ones they sent was for the nasal spray I have been using for constant runny nose...it is great stuff but 90 day supply is 9 little bottles of the stuff. I now have a dozen...I hope I live long enough to use them up! I am sure this will straighten itself out in time and I will be pleased with this service.
Well...better get Fritz out for his afternoon walk....sky is blue so better get at it..it was snowing this morning ...talk to you later...
