Packing

What a busy day! I spent the day yesterday packing, seeing my hospice team, and just over all getting ready for our trip. I did discover that when on hospice more packing and stuff is involved. I have an  emergency med kit, my normal meds to take, and paperwork that has to be on hand at all times. Add that to the "remember to pack" list and just the meds start to fill a bag.

The visit with my nurse went well. They are changing up some meds too hopefully help my headaches. Ive been suffering from their return all week. So for now we go back on the steroids, and are trying a new pain killer. We will test it and see how it works for me. I really cannot explain hope much I loathe steroids. hate hate hate hate them. At the same time if they help my headaches, then I guess Ill try them again.

I felt like we won the lotto today. We had 2 cases of little debbie snacks basically fall into our laps. We really really really appreciate them. (not that I don't have enough sweets already….I still have bags of m&ms) I have enough sweets to last a very long time at this point. But Im not refusing my favorite snacks…who in their right mind would!??? So my thanks goes out to those than supplied the snacks.

We have loads of things planned that I can't wait to do on our trip. I just have to remember to not over do it, and just take it slow. I don't want to come back and sleep thru christmas due to a simple family trip. :)
