Tuesday was more of the same. Cindy came in and fed the boys and then she fed me and I stayed in bed again. I felt bad for Dude so I asked the Woofpack if Dude could tag along with Robby on his puppy play date and they said he could. It was a big relief that Dude was going to get some exercise and apparently he spent all day running around in circles and playing with all of the other puppies. Cindy and I started straightening up and purging around here, it will be nice to have that done. Adriana came by and she and Cindy took everything off the shelves in the garage, dusted everything down, put a bunch of stuff to the side so I could go through the next day and see what we can get rid of. Robby and Dude came back exhausted. Rosa came in and fed the boys and then fed me and then went home after cleaning up, we decided to wipe everything down in the mornings and in the evenings to make sure we were clean. I'm getting a little tired of staying in bed but I'm afraid to get up and it's not any fun getting up and then having to sit in my room in my chair so it is easier to just stay in bed. Rosa came in and fed the boys and me, claimed for a little bit and then went home. I watched TV and listen to music for a while until I fell asleep.
Wednesday was just more of the same. I canceled Susan mostly because of the scare and mostly because I wanted to get up. Karen came in and we did some personal care and a nice long hot bath. Even though I can't go anywhere at least I can cruise around my house and cruise around outside. Adriana came in and cleaned out the kitchen really well, I got to go through the kitchen and the stuff from the garage to see what to get rid of so that felt good and also it felt amazing to get up and get out even if I couldn't go anywhere. I started watching the news and paying more attention to this coronavirus and it just keeps getting scarier and scarier, usually, scares don't last this long but it's lasting a long time as supposed to go on for several months. my mom hasn't been feeling well but is now really sick, I don't think it's the coronavirus because horses more fever, stomach ache, and diarrhea in the coronavirus is more fever, coughing and sneezing. You never know so she barricaded herself upstairs. Cindy came back at 11:30 PM to let the dogs out to go potty. I listen to some soothing music on calm.com until I fell asleep.
Thursday was another relaxing day. Karen came in and I decided that since I was going to have to stay in bed I might as well get up and start working out on my FES exercycle, it makes me nervous just sitting around not moving. It felt so good, I exercised my arms for three minutes, my legs for five minutes, my arms for another three minutes and then my legs for another five! It felt amazing! I went back to bed and Adriana came in and she and Adela started putting potted plants along the fence that fell down area. Adriana sent me some pictures, it's going to look incredible! I'm so excited! They asked Rosa to stay and fail in at her other job because a bunch of people called in sick so Adriana came back over and fed the boys and me, she came back over again at 8 PM to let the dogs out and then Cindy came at 11:30 PM to let them out one more time. This is such an amazing family, I don't know when I would do without them. I stayed awake all day and finally got to sleep after Cindy left.
Friday was another relaxing day. Karen came in and fed the starving boys and then we did some personal care and a nice long hot bath. My arms were so sore from writing the exercise cycle yesterday, it just felt like somebody was sticking my arms with nails and then I remembered I didn't take my gabapentin last night that was part of the reason. I decided not to try the bike again today because there was a little red mark on my butt, I don't want to get a pressure sore. I'll try it again on Monday but maybe not as much, start out slowly. The rest of my body feels great, personal care went a lot faster and I think I was back in bed by 10:30 AM. I listen to a podcast, listen to some music, watched a couple early episodes of the marvelous Mrs. Meisel and slept. Joy came by to take Dude out for some exercise and then took the boys out to go potty and got them some water. Adriana came in and brought potstickers, I told her I was craving them yesterday… How sweet is that? I'll probably be sorry later but they were delicious. Everybody has been so sweet and helpful, I don't know how to thank them. Cindy came back at 8:30 PM to let the dogs out to go potty and then Adriana came back at 11:30 PM to let them out one more time.
Saturday was another relaxing day. I was going to get up but it was supposed to rain and be cold for most of the day so I decided to stay in bed. The Woofpack came to get Robby for his puppy play date and I forgot to ask them if Dude could tag along so we just left him in the dog run for a while and he was happy. Cindy came in and fed the hungry boys and then fed me. Adela came in and did some yard work, Adriana was going to come in and help her but it was supposed to rain. Adriana came in and we went through a couple of closets and got rid of some close that I don't wear or I can do without, it's so hard to get rid of my stuff but I really trying and now is a perfect time. Cindy did some laundry and then went home. After everyone left I watch TV for a while and then Adriana came back at 4 PM to take the boys out, feed the boys, feed me and brush my teeth and wash my face. I watched TV and played cribbage online for the rest of the evening. Cindy came back at 9:00 PM to take the boys out and then Adriana came back at 11:30 PM to take them out one more time for the evening. I don't know why but I haven't been able to sleep really well so I stayed awake all night and I was even awake when Cindy came in at 730:30 AM, I was exhausted but still couldn't sleep. So I watched TV and listen to music and tried to go to sleep.
Sunday I was going to try to get up for a while but it looked like it was supposed to rain all day long. Cindy came in and fed the boys and then fed me and put me on my side for a while to give my butt a break. My mom has been having the shooting pain in her head for the last couple of days and nothing seems to help, she was on the phone with an on-call doctor yesterday and they sent over some gabapentin but that just made her dizzy so she had to battle through it again. I finally texted Kelly and asked her if she could take her up to urgent care but she told me my mom didn't want her to come around here because she didn't want her to get sick so she made her some eggs and some scones and left it outside of her door. She did a couple loads of laundry before she left. I was hoping that I would fall back to sleep and sleep the rest of the day but that didn't happen. Omar came in, he texted me the other night and said that he was back from Mexico and wanted to know if I have anything to do for him, I have such a long list. He replaced the light in the garage and then went to Home Depot to get some hooks and put a lot of the decorations on my new fence, he's so talented and it looks amazing! Adriana came in at 3 PM and fed the boys and then fed me before she took off, I was too tired to go through anymore closets but we have all week so it will get done. She took off but said she would be back either 9 PM or 11:30 PM, whichever time she doesn't come back Cindy will to let the dogs out two more times. I watch Dr. Phil for a while and then played cribbage online. Cindy came in at 9:00 PM to let the dogs out and get me a gabapentin, I just can't fall asleep and it's so frustrating… I hope this helps. Adriana came in at 11:30 PM to let the dogs out again, they have been so nice about this and I just feel like I wish I didn't have to ask them to do it anymore but I don't know what else to do. I decided to watch a beautiful day in the neighborhood, I LOVE Tom Hanks.
