Back to the pool!

Yes, I actually returned to our own home one yesterday, swimming pool that is, since Friday the PA, physician's assistant, gave me the go ahead to normalcy, whatever that is.
And oddly enough the sore in my ear as I had said, before going to her that it was almost entirely healed, but still hurts when I miss the foam ear doughnut placed upon my pillow that Hubby cut out as per my ear specs/size needed as per PA recommended. I almost did not use the medication that she prescribed since the sore was hard to locate, but I did according to her directions.
My thought is that perhaps it will help with the pain? I will call Monday/tomorrow if it still appears healed to verify she wants me to use it due to the pain.
It does seem odd that when not in the doughnut hole the direct pressure causes severe pain, wonder why that is?
Oh well... a little mystery in life.

I suppose with my darn bursitis in my right shoulder that too will have to be looked at by my other PA in orthopedics.Maybe not though since I have re-begun my ROM, range of motion, water exercises for it once again. Between my ear and shoulder late night TV has been a godsend for distracting me while dealing with this sleeplessness caused by the pain even with two medications in me to supposedly deal with it, Baclofen and Gabapentin, but lower doses. Even Hubby has been understanding with letting the TV  stay on in the bedroom rather loudly since my hearing is slightly less, knowing that if I leave to go into another room my chances of falling back to sleep are lessened.
So many shows have had finales and Dave Letterman is retiring with Wednesday being his last show.
This new young fellow after him, James Corden, he took over Craig Ferguson's late late show; we had watched James Corden in the movie of Into the Woods last night, a Netflix rental. He played the Baker, a wonderful enjoyable musical PG movie, good old fashioned fun with Merril Streep and additional bevy of familiar talented named actors.
Broadway shows in the home; how terrific!
On weekends one of my favorite shows, Bones, is on in reruns on NBC, Saturday after SNL at one A.M. and Sunday night also on NBC at midnight, its usual channel is Fox on Thursdays at eight for new shows.

I seem to be more of a night owl these days, but somehow still awake before seven A.M. too, thus my many naps.

It's crazy with the new contraption actually working for helping take the pressure off that left ear and another bed pillow that helps you sit up in bed thingy, cannot remember its name, keeps my right shoulder elevated while on my left side, its used sideways, strange bed contortions but it does seem to work as long as nothing moves out of place, ha, oh what fun, NOT! Good thing we have a king sized bed.
My numbness in my lower extremities is well exaggerated when I try sleeping on my back, most likely due to the Multiple sclerosis as far as I have been able to decipher/glean from online information, although I see my neuro in a few weeks and I will write that down as another question for him. My three toes on my right foot are also constantly numb, and my arms and legs are considerably stiffer when getting out of bed in the A.M., but also after naps, scary at times, truly.

These medical explanations on my blogs bore many, forgive, but they are for my own cataloging and to access later on for remembering.

On that note dear folk allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with whomever you wish and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
