Started physical therapy today for my rotator cuff tear and saw an orthapedic doctor who gave me an injection of cortizon to try and calm it down some.

Mood wise I am up and down. I was finally allowed to have my granddaughters for the day on Saturday. My Dgtr in law was perfectly fine with it but my son really hurt my feelings and said some not so nice things to me. I was happy and excited to have the girls but mad and angry at my son. Had an awsome day Saturday but physically I have been paying for it Monday and today. It was worth it but wish the pain wasn't so bad. Have been dealing with a lot more head aches than usual but I think this weather of rain/snow and sun off and on is really affecting my head.

Got see my granddaughters Saturday and was allowed to have them for the day. This really made my day for me. However my son was an ass about it which caused conflicting emotions. I was having a good day when we had the girls but I have suffered more physical pain because of it. I take it easy when I need to which helps me get more done though it takes longer.

been trying to take it easy... I am experiencing more headaches than usual and I think its from the weather and lack of rest. Was able to spend time with my granddaughters for the first time in 3 years so emotionally I am doing well. Reducing stressors helps.

For the last two days during the day I haven't had a headache but by time bed time or a few hours before bed time I have a horrible headache. Been going to bed to try and sleep to escape the pain. Been off my blood pressure meds for 4 days or so. I have dr appt wednesday to discuss blood pressure medication. Been a bit achey but other than that body wise I have been doing good. Last Saturday I was in tears off and on due to body pain so what I have now is definately an improvement even though I am still experiencing pain. Amy was with us over the weekend and told me she was sick all day yesterday and I am hoping that my stomache ache isn't a sign that I am getting sick too. It is 3:47am and I have been up since 1am due to my stomache ache.

Well we finally moved March 30-31 and as usual I did too much and ended up hurting worse and firing off a bad flare. Was out of it for a couple days and as I started to recover I had to start putting things away so we could cook. Been very slowly putting things away and sorting out what goes back to storage. Some days I can get a bit done and other days I can't. I brought my pedal excersiser back to the apartment so I could start again and I am sore from that too. Can't wait until things settle down. Too much work and too much stress causing migraines and pain.

so I took my night meds and crawled in bed. Our dog came and nudged me as she wanted to go out potty. Took her out and crawled in bed. Just before I was about asleep she nudged me again and was insistant so I got up and let her out again. First time she just peed the second pooed. Figured I reall get some sleep now but jumped in the shower first as the cold air outside was making me hurt. Before I could fall a sleep she nudges me again. Took her out and she went again. I dont think she is feeling good. Now its 1:55 am I still havent gotten any sleep and I am hurting bad so I took a pain pill. Waiting for it to kick in and then will try going back to bed again. Been very achy since the move and I still have a lot of things to do.
