I’m glad to say that things have improved a lot from yesterday and my hands continued to improve during the day.
I think I may have identified the cause of the problem. I have been adjusting the day I take the pills on and have probably stretched things to breaking point. The pharmacist was late with my prescription last time, which moved things on a few days, then I had to move them on a bit to return the pill day to Saturday night. It has to be then in case the stomach trouble, which can be a feature of taking Methotrexate, cuts in. It’s much better taking the pills on Saturday night and being uncomfortable on Sunday. Taking them during the week and being poorly on a working day is not convenient, and being ill on our joint day off on Wednesday is a definite no-no.
As usual, the cause of the problem is down to me. I am hoping that ordering the pills earlier will cut out most of the problem. However, as yesterday’s post shows, I can still have problems even when I don’t order pills that I don’t need.
Nothing much happened for the rest of the day, I cancelled the online grocery order because we only need a few things to top up, and have plenty of all the staples. That’s what happens with online shopping. I could get them to bring as smaller order but it’s £4.50 to select and deliver and another £4 if I don’t make the £40 minimum order. That’s too much just for the convenience of getting up in the middle of the evening to accept groceries, and substitutions. We will shop for bread and a few bits and pieces this week but don’t need much.
We had the second part of last night’s Chinese takeaway and i didn’t really enjoy it. I think we may have broken the cycle of ordering takeaways, and our palates may have changed for the better too. At least some good will have come out of the lockdown.
The picture is the owl sculpture from Harlow Carr gardens – was it really only two years ago? I was able to walk a lot better, and I still had a decent WP editor which allowed plenty of pictures and video clips. If only I’d realised how lucky I was…
I am happy to hear of your better day. I am sorry that you feel that the new WP editor doesn’t let you put a lot of pictures in. Have tried a gallery?
My “new” WP editor is from several versions back – it’s attraction is that I can actually work it whereas the new and improved version was completely unusable on my old computer. I may give the new one atry at some point now I have upgraded.
I have just bought a new computer in an effort to get things going a bit quicker. It hasn’t come yet and I am awaiting it with trepidation as setting it up will be nervous work.
You may be pleasantly surprised – apart from a fixation on making everyone sign up to Microsoft and Google I found setting this one up much easier than any other I have ever had. Fingers crossed for you.
Good news.
I am glad your hand is better today. Nothing worse than sore hands unless it is sore feet.
Yes. So far, my feet aren’t anything like as bad as my hands. 🙂
I am pleased you hand is better. Did you manage to pick up those chocolates in reasonable condition?
They were fine once we brushed a bit of fluff off them, thank you. 🙂
I made delicious steak sandwiches tonight. I love eating out, the whole dining experience, but my food is good enough to eat on the regular
Yes, w should have more faith in ourselves. 🙂
👍
Wonderful sculpture! So much movement in it. Glad your hand is feeling better.
It’s very up and down at the moment, but I’m feeling better because I think I’ve worked out why. If I take my pills like clockwork and it still happens I will have to think again. 🙂
