All about my feet
Originally I only had two appointments yesterday, one with lymphedema and another with wound care (in that order) but Wednesday I returned a call from Scheduling and found that Dermatology could get me in at 1430 Thursday, which would have made for a busy afternoon, but Wednesday right before I left for the Stratosphere Dr. Lal called and asked me if I was willing to come in at 0840 Thursday since they'd had some cancellations, and of course I agreed.
This meant getting up at an awful hour of the morning on Thursday, driving up to the VA, getting my wounds dressed, and getting my glasses fixed before I headed over to the nearby McDs for breakfast and the Sonic on Craig for fluids. Back at the Stratosphere, I bashed out some bloggage and lit out for my lymphedema appointment. That went well, and I had some lunch at the canteen (chicken salad and mediocre sushi) before getting my claws clipped & calluses sanded. Feet felt very weird after that, but no matter; I went back to the hotel and did not stop at the NSSAB orientation's last two hours because I was feeling very tired. It was probably the sushi, or maybe the tacos and egg rolls I grabbed for a snack. Maybe both. Anyway, I fell asleep around 1800 and slept through until 0700 this morning...so I got up, pounded out another blog post, cleared the room, and hit McD's on Paradise and Dunkin' on Lake Mead before topping off the tank at Maverik.
Originally I'd planned to do some shopping at Walmart on the way home, but instead I just went to Sam's Club for Claritin-D and a large box of fig bars which are usually about $6 for half a dozen up here but the large box was about $13 for 36 bars, which was a lot better deal. Then it was over to CFA for some hate chikuns and fluids before the long drive home. I did stop in Beatty to get some wild game jerky for Rob, but the post office was closed so I guess I'll mail it tomorrow, because once I got home and unloaded the car I didn't want to go anywhere, and I didn't. Tomorrow I'll hit the post office and mail some things, go to Raley's for stuff I'm out of (eggs, tea, & yogurt, mostly) and maybe Family Dollar for water additives.
That's the plan, we'll see how it works out in reality.
