Since I am not a techno-savvy person, it took me awhile, but I managed at last to post on RTD's Facebook page how pleased I was with Hector, the driver who helped me with my neighbor the other day. I hope they can do something nice for him.

(In case you're wondering, see yesterday's post.)

Still have not complained about being utterly ignored by the park patrol. I really should do that, I just hate complaining. But--BUT--they do need to be more vigilant. That's what they're here for! Okay, okay, I'm gonna gripe.

Ugh. Now all I can think about is griping. I don't wanna.

Should I?

So I'm sitting here listening to my son and daughter-in-law playing a video game. They have on headphones and are carrying on conversations in-game with each other and at least one other player who I cannot hear. They're kind of hilarious at times. I'm in headphones, too, but every time my music stops, I end up listening to them while I choose a new album. So funny.

(Just a side note--I can still hear them over the music. I like it loud, but I'm not crazy. Ha ha!)

As I mentioned yesterday, I started physical therapy for my hip. I guess I should say hips, although the left is worse than the right. side to side mobility wasn't enough to even be measured. That's discouraging!

My therapist gave me some exercises to do at home, and I must say: Ouch! But I am doing them. Stretching out the old hamstrings and calves. Forcing some side to side hip motion. Then trying to walk everyday. Nothing drastic. But, as I said--ouch.

I finally made another doctor appointment. I was supposed to return in three weeks, but--hey, this is me we're talking about. Broke, as always. So it had to wait. I know my doctor wants me in physical therapy every week, too, but broke people need to go less often. Oh, well! She;ll forgive me.

I have to say I'm a little worried about all this, though. I have been on anti-inflammatory medication all month, and at first I felt better, but then the pain started getting bad again. My fingers and toes are so painful! It hurts to type or hold a book, and my handwriting looks atrocious! It hurts to walk. Nothing on me wants to bend. I'm tired all the time, but I can't sleep. I know I'm a raving insomniac, but this is worse, because it is pain keeping me awake, on top of my ever-talking brain!

Oh, boo hoo, Someone tell me to shut up, please.

Anyway, more P.T coming up this week and doctor next week. Hurrah.

The doctor suspects Lupus. I asked before, but got no real information. Does anyone out there know anything about Lupus? What might I be looking at here?

When I started reading the "Game of Thrones" books, I was also reading a couple of other books at the same time. But now that I'm in book number four, I just have to read it exclusively until I finish book five. This is good stuff, people!
