April has been a rough month. Whether my discomfort can be placed on the weather or not...is anybody 's guess. My pain has increased. My sleep pattern is sleep until the pain wakes you up and then sleep some more.
I finally got re-enrolled at the Wellness Center last week. My enrollment is for the pool only. The Wellness Pool is kept at 92 - 94 degrees.
I'm quite sure this will be the temperature of Heaven. As you enter, you can just feel the pain melt away. Their exercise programs are mostly geared for senior citizens and I fit right in.
I tried out a few classes and have settled on Arthritis I - pretty much the easiest one there is. I have a long way to go.
Really shows how hard this last setback has been. A decade ago I was teaching water aerobics - at all levels - including high intensity. Now I'm trying to keep up with severely arthritic senior citizens.
Miss Lilly is doing Camp Grandma while Mommy gets through finals. We went to the Wellness pool together Sunday.
Yesterday, I went first thing to the clinic. I have what I though was a boil on my left collarbone area. It was showing signs of infection, I have been running low-grade fevers, and it was really hurting! I decided this thing needed lanced!
I just did a walk-in to see my favorite PA. I built Lilly a fort with hospital gowns - she was happy. They numbed me up a bit - I was happy. My PA cut into the cyst and nothing happened - no drainage. Now she wasn't happy.
Whatever this cyst is it is deeply embedded into my tissue, is infecting the tissue around it and the PA could not go any deeper. She hooked me up with some strong antibiotics and said to stay out of the pool. Now I'm not happy.
This intrusion now has my shoulder red and angry. Lilly and I came home and played Pajama and Movie Day. We were both happier!
I also have an appointment in two weeks to get this thing really removed. Time to go change the band aid - joy.
