Jalál (Glory), 10 ‘Azamat (Grandeur), 169 BE – Saturday, May

It’s a hazel nut café mocha day, at least until I finish the
carafe of coffee I made this morning. Once I’ve finished that carafe, I’m
making another because I’m sure the day isn’t going to get much better. I’m not
sure it will get worse, but it isn’t going to get any better.
It’s Saturday. Mom doesn’t go to the daycare center on Saturday
or Sunday. Since Monday is the observation of Memorial Day, she will remain
home that day as well. Due to straining or bruising my right knee some time in
the last week, I can’t standup, sit down, or walk for more then five or six
minutes at a time without excruciating pain. This isn’t a problem until I have
to take Mom to the bathroom. It takes longer then six minutes to get Mom into
the bathroom and back to the living room.
At this point, I haven’t considered the process of walking
her up and down the hall. She needs the exercise, but I’m not sure I’m up to it
today. I think a knee brace would help, but going to the medical supply story
until Tuesday is out of the question. Even then I’m not sure I can afford a
knee brace until my Social Security check comes in and I can’t get a
prescription from my doctor until June 6 and I don’t think I can wait that long
for a knee brace. At least not when my knee hurts the way it does when I’m on
it for an extended amount of time.
I just finished my second cup of café mocha. I also just
realized that I left Mom’s walker where she can pull herself up with it. Since
Mom isn’t walking very well today, it isn’t a good idea to leave the walker
close to her. If she gets up, she may fall down even with the walker. Therefore, I think I need to close this, post
it, move Mom’s walker, and then get me another cup of café mocha, but this time
with two tablespoons of hot chocolate mix.
