Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1695 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Opens The Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Prayers Will Be Answered' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Responding To Generosity'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip, I immediately fall back asleep, since I'm certain noisy PIG mum's gonna get really loud in one hour!
- Like clockwork, @ 8:05am, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip; after this second one, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
- At 8:15pm, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me put a crop top on; she's smart and remembered not to gimme anything with metal since I'm going for my MRI today! After helping with that, she leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
- PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing but Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Only amazingly, she puts the toilet seat down for me! Bumbum feels very loved. XD
- After brushing teeth, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast is one bowl of yummy Special k lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and the PLATE (not the toast itself?) very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.
-
That done, I wash and dry Era and then climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car before buckling my own seatbelt. PIG mum's delighted; dad'll drive us to the hospital this morning and she won't have to!
At the P.A., dad parks in the ten minute drop off zone and accompanies us to the radiology reception (we haveta catch a lift) before leaving to buy groceries and telling PIG mum to call him for pickup.
Nick's still here! Lol I'll try remember his name for 2027. XD
A Korean nurse fails with her first needle attempt to get me cannulated; she returns with a Filipino male nurse who succeeds with the second jab, phew! In my relief I say thanks in Korean first; when the Korean nurse starts laughing, I realise I've said thank-you with the wrong language and repeat the word again in Filipino, which makes the Filipino nurse laugh since he wasn't aware that I knew any of his language! XD
The MRI goes for about twenty-two minutes, I think? The nurse said she'd put some AC/DC on for me; I decided they weren't bad but Linkin Park's better since they do angsty but after I came outta the tube the nurse told me 'twas actually Cold Chisel!
Nick wheeled my trolley back to the Radiology reception for my post-MRI scan then took me back to the waiting area and even grabbed a warm blanket for me, aww~
I asked PIG mum to please summon the nurse for a bedpan since I needed to pee; afterwards, PIG mum fed me the Crunchie chocolate she'd picked for me from the stash Kat got me; I was very impressed that she'd picked my favourite Crunchie!
Suddenly the phone rings. The nurse manning the waiting area picks up and speaks briefly into it. When he puts down the receiver, he tells me, you're good to go. The doctor's reviewed your scan and everything's fine. Wow, it's only 12:40pm!!
The male nurse removes the cannula and then holds a cotton swab over Era's cubital fossa for a while, since she's bleeding a bit. Then I'm good to go!
Good timing: dad arrives just as I'm walking down the ramp towards the lone bench available and we climb right back into the car. Somehow, dad's got a chicken royale that PIG mum and I share half of?
Back home, we all eat two-minute noodles for lunch. I drink one huge mug of the powdered green tea from Aunty Nga; once I'm finished, I take the bowl over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late and takes me for walkies somewhere.
Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
