Wheatfields, how did your friend's neurology apt go today? I hope the doctor could give her some hope and encouragement. Thank you for your prayers. I always appreciate them.
I had my Botox injections yesterday. I decided not to go down another rabbit hole regarding the paint fumes. He was quite a bit off schedule anyway. He does not say much anyway. I was very calm and especially since I was in the room and could see the syringes right there. I did very well and I am so thankful. I had 8 injections and before we started he was toying with the idea of increasing the dosage and asked me what I thought. I said yes, I am game. Then when it came right down to hooking me up to the EMG machine he quickly looked at what he called his cheat sheet which was a screen on his computer and he said I have changed my mind and am going to give you the same dose.
I have to trust the Lord in his decision. I had my Bible study praying for me as well. I did not get my laundry done yesterday so I have been doing laundry today. I was fooled into thinking I couldn't smell the paint odor and I realized that my tonuge was burning, I had a headache and I was feel mentally off again. Even though I am getting a new ceiling fan installled in my living room tomorrow I tried to turn the current one on tonight and it wouldn't turn on. My painter had it all wrapped into plastic while he was painting and something was not getting the needed electricity evey though the light worked so hopefully when I get the new fan installed that will help. I have also been very fatigued which is another side effect of toxic inhalation. I have still not tried the gas mask. I think I had lulled myself into thinking it was not needed but it really is. I am safe in my bedroom so I will sleep well tonight.
I am a bit discouraged tonight. This was one of those days that everything went wrong. I already have a dishwasher that has been leaking on the floor and has ruined my linoleum so I figured I could get that replaced after the carpet layers come on Monday. Today when I put my first load in my dryer I heard something metal fall. It was the clamp that keeps the door closed. My washer and dryer I bought right before I got my bc diagonsis in 2014 so they are old and not worth spending the money on a tech visit. So I rigged up a way to use my floor mop handle to keep the door closed. I opened my fridge earlier and a whole box of butter came flying out all over the floor.
On a positive note I had my mammogram on Tuesday and when I was at the Arboretum on Wed to get out of the house I got a message that my scans were NED. I am happy about that and I need to keep telling myself that is much more important that my dishwaher and dryer breaking!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend.
Love,
Nancy

Oh Nancy, I am so sorry to read the many things that seem to be happening all at once. Yay for the mammogram results that put it into a better perspective. I truly pray your injections work really well for you and you can get your fans, floor, and appliances all replaced. Just think of the oasis your home will be once it is all finished. I have never heard about someone being as sensitive as you. I pray things die down quickly.
