Painted in Every day scata

I’ve created a private “book” to document everything that is going on with the workers comp. Of course I have it on my computer, and I’m making sure to keep a log on my FibroMapp too. I’m really bad about documenting my pain levels on the damn thing. I keep saying that I am going to do better, but I never do. But now it’s a necessity. I like the app because I can send my pain charts to myself in a pdf to print out.

Today is my first appointment with PT. I’m not taking any pain meds so I can truly tell them the extent of my pain. If I take my meds, I’ll probably say “well, it doesn’t hurt too bad” or shit like that. I’m also going to ask them for copies of the care plans etc. If (gods forbid) I need to take this to a lawyer, I want all the documents.

Yesterday, P wouldn’t let me do the vacuuming because of my back etc. But while she was doing the vacuuming, I heard her say “I always have to do everything!” so I’m going to make sure she knows that she won’t have to do “everything” from now on, no matter what is going on with my health. Fuck that shit. I’m really sick of her saying that. I do the majority of the cleaning and cooking.

After I heard her say that, I made sure that I was the one to cut the grass, even though I hurt so so bad doing it. I did not want her to utter those words again. I’m surprised she didn’t say it again today while she vacuumed downstairs.

Yesterday I was very busy with one of the fibro groups on fb. It was Fibro awareness day, and we were all very chatty. It was nice :) We weren’t complaining much, we were actually having a good time for a change!

Trying like hell to get people talking in Bipolar to the Max group on fb. We’re thinking about doing contests with gifts. I created a mug with the group name in my Zazzle store, and I’m going to design a t-shirt today. I figure it would be good to give away things with our name on it.

Speaking of group, I better get off of here and post there. And I need coffee.
