I forgot to mention, the reason my hip hurts 24/7 is because I have arthritis in it now.  So it's not just inflammation, like it used to be.  So that is why it hurts so much more than it used to.  I had posted previously I have a lot of pain, new pain I hadn't had before and that something was going on with my system.  Well, infection and arthritis can do that. But I have more pain than just those two things.  I will have an ultra sound done on the 17th.  Could have done it sooner but, I need to recover first.  I have to see my eye doc for a check up on the 17th too, and I am going to ask if he has other meds I can take for my eyes.  I would love to not have floaters.  They are making me think I am seeing something that isn't there.  It is really annoying!  I don't know if they can flush them out or what, but I will ask.

And, this problem i am having with not being able to lift my arm... well I can lift it, but my wrist can't exceed my head.  Even washing my face gets me winded.  But trying to wash my hair and towel dry it nearly causes me to pass out because I can't breath.  The x-rays came back clear, my lungs are clear, and my doc just don't know why I can't lift my arms.  So we are going to see if maybe some physical therapy might help.  They are making arrangements for someone to come out here to access issue for me.  They will know if this is something that can improve with therapy or if there is something more wrong.  I have had that happen, where one doc doesn't know what the problem is, so they pass me on to someone else who says, they are the wrong kind of doc for what I need and then I get sent to someone else.  So we will see where this takes me.

So Steph made it to town for that interview, and she thinks it went well.  Then on the way home, she gets a phone call from another company who wants her to take some tests.  She had put an application in some time ago for a office assistant in Superior.  Well, that was like, 3 weeks ago.  We had forgotten all about it.  So she did the on-line testing last night.  And then they contacted her and said she did really well on the tests and they would like her to come in this morning for an interview.  She told them, due to the roads being so bad, if she could come in on Friday after work.  So she will have another interview.  This job is only part time and I don't know if it has any benefits like Panera has, but she will find out. It sounds like they want to give her the job already because of all the screening they have already done, but she is going to ask if she can think it over and get back to them if they do offer her the job.

She was really excited to find out that she did really well on those tests.  I told her, EO & I have always known she is really smart. Even as a baby we could see that she was a thinker.  But she says she just doesn't feel like it.  I tried to encourage the kids to "think" and "reason", just as the Bible encourages us to do.  Also to try and look at the "big picture" as well as to "look down the road".   They can all see now how the world fails to "anticipate" or "plan ahead".  



I forgot to increase my pain meds for my hands last night.  Man they have given me some honkin huge pills.  At least the giant blue ones I only have to take for a couple days.  Then the big antibiotic is also limited time too.  I have 2 other pills that are not here in this pic that I have to take.  I'm such a pill popper.  Oh, plus I didn't put any of my extra pain pills here, these are just my regular daily pills, not my "mega pain pills".
