Today has been a rather trying day for me. I’m thankful that the pain in the access tooth has hardly bothered me today. I have finished about 75% of the antibiotic—Clindamycin HCL—the dentist prescribed.  I presume that it is dealing effectively with the infection and thus relieving the pain.

My left leg continues to be the more serious problem. It remains weak and extremely painful from my thigh down to my foot. The only relief I have had comes from raising my legs while reclining in my lift chair. Otherwise, sitting, standing, and walking are acutely painful.

I had run out of at growth ibuprofen a couple of days ago. I went online to the My Health Vet site to put in an order for a refill. When I got the pharmacy part of the site, I read and I remembered that I had requested a refill about two weeks ago. Furthermore, the site reported that the refill had been mailed to me eight days ago. It was not at the office when I picked up the other medicine, but, with a lot of effort standing and walking, I located and retrieved the ibuprofen. The two 800 mg tablets I took helped quite a bit in relieving my leg pain, although it does nothing about my leg strength and stability.

I’ve looked into the bedroom each time I went to the bathroom in response to the actions of the diuretic I am prescribed. I’ve not seen the kittens out from their new nest on the floor between the wall and the bed. Thus, I have taken only one photograph:

Please?
