Welcome back!

Well, now that I have gotten hairballs out of my system, I get to be busy with washing up the dishes that have collected in my sink in the kitchen. It is not as if it is a set of copper sinks that might look good, it is just stainless steel.

I guess that is better than the old fashioned porcelain that would stain. I just wish that the sink was EMPTY. Sometimes empty is nice. If it is not a wallet, or a glass when you’re thirsty, empty can be nice. Oh yes, do not forget bank accounts. You do not want them empty.

My husband and I have just gone through some health problems and when those happen, nothing gets done. We used to use paper plates. You know, use them and throw them away, but that gets expensive. Now, if he could just get rid of all of his kidney stones, and me get rid of the arthritis, things will get done.

Well, here I am and it is back to the body again. I have talked about a lot of things in this blog. With a blog title of Two Ton Tilly, I have also mentioned diets.

There is another diet pill on the market called - allie. I have heard that it is actually one diet pill that works. I would dearly like to lose weight. I keep hearing about diet and exercise so much. The diet part is actually a life style change in what you eat and how much you eat. The exercise part I have heard people say is easy. For some it might be easy, but for those who have limited physical abilities the exercise part can be very hard. Arthritis is more than just an ache in your body. Sometimes, it can be very debilitating.

There has to be a way for people to lose weight that does not cause pain, or endanger the person involved. Any type of diet pill taken by someone who also takes other pills, needs to be checked by the person’s doctor and checked by a pharmacist to make sure that there is a limited chance for complications.

Well, the pain monster has been striking again.The arthritis that has been bothering me these past weeks has really gone overboard in keeping me awake even when I’m very tired.

I even dreamed about taking pain pills during the time that I was asleep. It is hard to sleep when it keeps feeling like there is a white hot poker being shoved into my knee cap. Last night I got so desperate to get sleep that I had to take Aleve, Ibuprofen, and Aspirin. Of course that is also including coating my knee with muscle rub to induce heat into the joint. UG, not fun, not, not, not! I realize that I sound like I’m griping, because I am. I figure it is better to grip with the keyboard than to expose my loving husband to the gripes. He cares, and does not deserve to hear the gripes. Getting this off my chest helps. I can see the humor in dreaming about pain pills, though. The dreaming of it doesn’t help, but it does make for interesting thoughts when I wake up.

What type of shoes do you wear? I imagine there are as many types of shoes as there are people. As for me I like to wear something that has been called thong slippers. You know the type where the strap goes between the toes and only the bottom of the foot is completely covered.

I used to wear clogs when I was young. Thick soles, covered foot, the heel exposed. I liked them for the ease of kicking them off. Now there are Dansko shoes which look similar. They look comfortable and easy to wear. The main reason why I no longer wear regular shoes is having to tie them when my hands hurt from Arthritis, and my feet sweat.

Being the shape that I am (very rotund) does not make it easy to tie shoes, and having hands that hurt also makes it hard. Those shoes that I mentioned earlier do look comfortable however. Maybe I’ll check them out more thoroughly and find something that I really like.

Another thing that I have found with the heat around us, is the fact of pain.

My fingers hurt, my back, toes, ankles, my back, it seems to be every where. Cold is a hazard to someone with Arthritis, so is a change in the weather. It seems that I get used to one type of weather, then it changes, and I have all of the aches again while my system adjusts to the change in the weather, I adjust to the change in the amount of pain.

Pain killers will only go so far in relieving the aches. The stiffness makes it harder to adjust at the same time. I am not whining, just stating a fact of life. When I was younger, I used to hear adults talking about kids having growing pains. I used to think that that was what was bothering me in my joints. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized that not everyone had pain all of the time. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I had a name to put to what was bothering me - osteoarthritis. It has been with me all of my life. Most of the time I just ignore it, but there are some times that I can’t. The absence of pain is a wonderful thing, I’ve said that before. That is another reason to avoid the extreme heat outside. However, I do have bills to pay, and some of them make it necessary to go outside and around town to get it done. If the pain left and didn’t come back, I honestly do not think that I would miss it, do you?
