X-Rays And Stuff.


Yesterday my mother had her X-rays done on her hip and spine to try and find the cause of her pain, pain so bad she can hardly walk and always has to lie down. It took a whole hour, which is odd for X-rays which usually only take a few minutes. She said first of all they had the wrong hip marked off on the form and she had to correct them( duh; they're just sooooo half-assed here, I swear!) and they had her lying down and changing positions it made the pain so much worse and she hurt even more all day. They said her doctor will have the results next week. I hope it's nothing too serious, like not cancer or something, which worries me since they took so long taking all the images. What did they find ( a mass?) that they had to take so many images, or did they just want to get view from every angle to make sure they didn't miss anything? Hopefully it's just arthritis or merely wearing-out due to old age or something and nothing too serious. As for me and my Rheumatoid arthritis, it's getting worse and I'm always so stiff and sore it hurts to walk now too and it's worse when I wake up in the mornings I can hardly even move and all my joints are so stiff and hurt I feel like the Tin Man. Even my fingers but also in my knees, hips, wrists, back, ankles,neck, elbows, etc. and it makes me wonder too with such pain and limited mobility if maybe with my bleeding disorder I might even be bleeding into my joints,too?

My hubby also went out so I blasted up the Reggae and then he ruins it by coming back and then he walks into the room and just takes over and turns off my music and changes it, the asshole. No news on his dad so he must still be holding up ok and still holding on. A thought went thru my head that he's going to die today but I haven't heard anything so far so hopefully not. I was also sitting out the front and I saw this guy walk by carrying a big black rifle with a telescopic lens! I don't know if it was real or not or maybe a paintball gun( as those things can look pretty real) but it freaked me out like What the f*ck? What is this, USA? and I heard a radio ad for Arts in the park but it sounded like Arse in the park and I just about died laughing and saw on another product Delicious since 1923 and the thought occured to me, So what does that mean, that it was disgusting BEFORE 1923? and another that said Proudly Canadian since 1955 so I thought to myself, So that means before 1955 you were embarrassed to be Canadian?

It's also soooooo ungodly, oppressivly hot out there with the heat-wave, temps in the mid- 30 C range with humidex in the 40C's it's too hot, even for me and even out in the shade the air was so thick I could hardly breathe (likely worsened with my breathing problem) and it felt like something heavy was sitting on top of my chest and my lungs felt tight and constricted and it was hard to breathe and I even felt light-headed and tired from lack of oxygen and had to come inside and have a nap. I'm still short of breath and struggle to get enough air. It's just awful.
