Quiero Perderme En Tu Cuerpo in Thirty-Three

Good evening my friends, hows it going today? It’s been so freaking hot, but it IS August in Arizona. Fuck. My. Life.

At least it hasn’t been super humid which I’m grateful for because that means it’s actually cool in my house 75% of the time. Midday sucks, so I try not to be home at that time. blargh.

Anyway, so i haven’t written in like 2 weeks I think. Maybe longer. Fuck, I don’t know. Let me check....

Almost 2 weeks. Where the hell have I been? Well lets see....what has happened since then. I think we went to the Nothing More concert that Saturday after I wrote, which was really good. They had a local (i think) band play first, Eyes Set To Kill, which they were pretty good. Bad Wolves (newer Zombie cover) played for like 30 minutes and they were ok.

Nothing More was freaking awesome yo. That was Randy’s birthday present from me. Hah. He had mentioned he wanted to go so I bought him the tickets for his birthday. WOO!

Errrhhhmm....We’ve been doing the Keto Diet since about the 12th of July. So this thursday will be 4 weeks. I’m down about 11 lbs. I keep fluctuating +-2 lbs so I take that into consideration, but the fact that the weight IS coming off, is awesome. I saw my endocrinologist, I think I wrote about it, and she prescribed me a different injectable med, Ozempic. Supposed to help with the weight loss as well. She was happy to hear we’re doing the diet too. My A1C has not changed. She did up my thyroid med though. Not a lot.

Hmmm lets see what else has been going on. Randy put in his 2 weeks notice with JJs. They demoted him and took his hours down to 15/week, so he started looking for a better job....and found one. $2.50 more an hour. He starts on the 20th. He had hoped to work through the 17th…which would have been his 2 weeks…but they called him this last saturday morning before he was supposed to go to work and told him that he was done. So he gets a 2 week “vacation”. He’s excited to start something new and more casual. He’ll be working at a call center doing customer service for Costco to start with. Soooo that’s good. I’m glad he took the initiative to step back and realize he needs something slower.

Annnyywho so we haven’t been doing much. I had to buy new shoes because my sketchers weren’t cutting it and they were actually hurting my feet. I have been having really painful heels and its frustrating because I can’t really figure out what to do for them. I’ve tried hot foot baths, icing them. The ice seems to help the most, but it’s uncomfortable. I might do an ice bath. lol. we’ll see.

We’ve been trying out a lot of different recipes for this diet and there’s been few that we haven’t liked. We found these things called Shirataki noodles. They are made out of a certain yam or something but we also bought the ones made with tofu, so that’s pretty good. we had spaghetti last night and I actually made fideos the other day with our taquitos.

Oh yeah, Randy is down about 20 lbs! He’s doing great. He feels way better, and I do too. There’s a lot of foggyness in my head that is gone, so that’s good. I still have my bad days. I definitely have more energy.

My physical therapy is going ok. I’m just super stiff because I haven’t had any Kevzara in over a month. I ‘m taking the plaquenil but I don’t think that does much. I start the Rituxan tomorrow though, so fingers crossed that this is the one. I’ve said that many times already, but we will see. The infusion tomorrow is 6 hours long, so that kind of sucks. blargh. But hopefully I don’t have any kind of reaction to it otherwise it’ll take longer or I won’t be able to take it.

I’ll have to find someone to pick me up from the infusion too, probably. Randy had to change his physical therapy because it was at 8....and he changed it to 2:30. I don’t think I’ll be done by then, but then he’ll be there until 4. So blargh that still sucks. I don’t know how I’m going to feel afterwards though so that’s also a problem.

I canceled my PT for thursday, because again, I don’t know how I will feel. It is essentially chemotherapy so yep.

Uhmmm I don’t know what else to say for now. Hope you all are doing well. Take care!
