I knew that was a lot at one time. But I had to get them for my new job ASAP. I did take Tylenol. and I’m fine now. It was only a day of pain. The kind of pain that does stop.

Three days in bed and lots of hydration and Kleenex and medicine and I am feeling much better. I still don’t feel like I am completely healed, but I’m definitely feeling better.

I’m chomping at the bit to get my hands back inside the Earth and grow things we had a couple weeks of really glorious spring, like weather, followed up recently by a few days of ice and snow. Which is nothing abnormal for Ohio, but it gave me false hope that we would have an early spring. I even ordered fertilizer from my blueberries and daylilies, hydrangeas, lilacs my spring bulbs, my roses, etc. they’re sitting on my enclosed front porch, laughing at me…

I'm feeling better since I went to see the pain management doctors. I can no longer take any NSAIDs due to Chronic Kidney Disease, and I really need at least some ibuprofen for my knees. (My knees are bone on bone, now - there's no more cartilage or cushioning material left in there.)
They prescribed Tart Cherry, since it has worked for me before in conjunction with NSAIDs. They also prescribed Turmeric/Curcumin, as it is another powerful natural anti inflammatory. They work almost as well as ibuprofen, as long as I don't walk too much. I can at least get to sleep at night now. One thing I have noticed is that nothing tastes right anymore (sort of like when I take antibiotics - nothing tastes like it's supposed to). It's not like I taste the tart cherry or turmeric - it comes in gelatin capsules. It could also be due to the fact that I have had to cut down on salt due to the kidney disease. But I don't think that's it, at least not all of it. Has anyone else taken either of these supplements and noticed a difference in the way your food tastes?

I didn't take tart cherry, but I would have tried it if a reliable source would have recommended it. FYI: I couldn't take ibuprofen and my doctor wasn't going to give me anything stronger. So I relied on OTC Tylenol, Tumeric, canna salves on the knees, lots of veggies, as few carbs as possible, canna oil/edibles to sleep. Good luck. Bone on bone is no joke.

I’ve taken turmeric for the pain and it really made a difference that I could notice. I have to be off of it a month and then I’ll go back on it again. You’re not supposed to have long-term usage without breaks.
The tart cherry supplement interests me. I’ve never taken it as a supplement, but I have eaten tart cherries when my pain has been enormous, and they too have helped enough for me to notice. I didn’t even know you could get it and supplement form! For losing your taste, no I did not notice that happening to me when I was using turmeric. Take a look at your tongue and see if it is a different color than you’re used to or if you tastebuds look different. Your tongue can tell you a lot about your health. If you suspect that there’s any visible to your tongue, please go see the doctor.

On Friday we had down pouring rain so all my plans were canceled
But Saturday and Sunday I have been working for hours out in the gardens. I’m waking them back up again. I got soil delivered. I don’t put it in my garden beds because I’m just not physically capable of doing that. I have a gardener/handyman that helps me outside. He’ll do that. But for the past two days, I’ve been raking and weeding and seeding and fertilizing. Used my green House over the winter as a storage area and I’ve been clearing that out and organizing it. It’s almost ready for the seeds to get started. (Had I brought them inside and started them inside, I would’ve done it in March.) I bought a Collapsible garden wagon that I am in love with, and I’ve been hauling things back-and-forth with ease! How am I feeling? I am sore all over. My lips are chopped and my face has traces of sun all over it. I am really tired and I am assuming that tonight is going to be an early night. But this kind of soreness is a relief from the soreness I feel all winter from not being able to move around. When I don’t move, I get so incredibly sore, the kind of soreness that hurts deep to the bone entrenched in all my muscles. But the soreness I feel today is from movement, which releases all the memory of the pain from the winter, and hardens up my muscles so that we can continue doing this all summer long . It is something I look forward to every year. That has relief associated with it.

I’m really a mess of emotions. I’m grieving still over the loss of my last job. I’ve worked with the most destitute people I’ve ever worked with. Criminals drug addict prostitutes. But I came to know them as people learn through life stories, and I felt like I was making a difference in their lives toward the end of their lives. And then I got laid off. I got another job doing the same thing with the same population as in low income elderly. But none of them are as fragile and vulnerable as my last group. To be honest, I’m almost bored.
Yesterday, I saw that the company that I used to work for is hiring. Same position but in a different building but close to the one that I used to work with. Those people are even more destitute. And it pays 70 and $10 more an hour. However, that company is folding. It is in so much legal trouble nationally and it’s being sued for $6.5 billion in a class action suit. Many of the staff are included in that for not providing adequate services. So well, I could go back to , working with the truly indigent and make a lot more money, I have a really 99% chance of being sued along with the company and the company folding and I would be out of a job again. The company I’m with now has so many benefits and is so polished and professional. Their training and benefits are incredible! But I’m bored! I don’t know what to do!

I'm feeling worried about a turtle I encountered yesterday.
I was out on a bike ride along the river and I passed by a fence that was starting to fall down and something really large was at the top of it. As I got closer I saw it was a MASSIVE snapping turtle who was stuck on the fence. It looked like she had been there for a while as her shell was covered in dry mud. And.. literally she had tears coming out of her eyes. Can turtles cry? I watched her for a while trying to figure out what to do. Then another person rode by and saw her and stopped with me. Together we were able to sway the fence back and forth enough that she came un-stuck and rolled onto the ground. She landed on her back but was able to flip over to the right side. We watched her for a few and then went back on our rides. On my way back I saw she was still in the same place but had her head out looking up at the fence so I'm afraid she might have started back up it again. Then I felt horrible that I didn't pour some water on her after getting her off the fence. So, I will bike back out there later today to see if she's back on the fence or anywhere in sight of the area. She was magestic. Massive feet and a long prehistoric tail. Her face was so expressive. I hope she's okay. We assumed she was looking for a place to lay eggs. |
