ROUGH DAYS

i sit here - 2 fans going and still dripping hair and clothes....
i have been away from the computer for a few days as the heat is so unbearable that it actually hurts to just sit here and try to type...
the sleeve garment is out of the question for these past few eays. as it gets soaking wet very quickly
i'm sure the swelling is worse
the physical therapsit says it isn't but it feels that way in the heat....
the drugs i take to prevent cancer recurrence cause awful hot flashes
the prednizone for PMR (remember that ??!) causes hot flashes and the weather only adds to them...
much of everything else is the same except for an increase in pain medication to try and keep the pain at bay....it still is there but the edge is a little less....
a new dog hwleing next door after having a very quiet neighbor for 20 years has my nerves even more on edge than ususal......
on top of that the refrigerator and freezer quit in the midst of the heat yesterday - repairs to the defrost mechanism fixed it but cleaning out spoiled food and now today faced with lots of sticky towels, sticky shelves and a really sticky floor is adding to my frustration level....
the doctor is playing with a day on - a day off with the prednisone and i can feel my body going nuts with the change....
so to put it all together
whine, whine, whine......
all is can say is i have a right to whining....
i want my life back....and today it isn't in sight....
