I am still not up to getting myself around and I have been passed off to Chris for the next phase of my recovery.

He had to make a trip to the grocery store and I needed to replenish some supplies that seemed to be working and I wanted to go too. The Albertsons we went to has one of those motorcarts and I used that. While I may not look like I need it, I do actually need it so I could justify it to myself.

Chris made the mistake to going off on his own and catching up to me. That meant to me that I could play all I wanted and didn’t have to be focused. I tootled around the store picking things up. I love being able to do that with so little effort. I might have to consider doing it again sometime when I am feeling not quite up to par.

It was really fun to shop with easy and wave to the little girls in the toy car carts as if they were fellow drivers. I am a much happier person when I have energy.

It still hurts. The tongue is still the worst of it. I now have pockets in the back of my throat that I have to clean out. I will wait and see if that is something that will go away or not.

I am still weak and my guts hurt. The pain meds have still yet to get all of the pain covered. It is taking more than I had anticipated. Currently I have two appointments (that think they are at the same time and I will have to fix that) Thursday in Berkeley/Oakland. I have a ride back up for that and an offer to spend the weekend in the South Bay again. I just need to see what I can and what I want to get covered for Thursday night/Friday. I can take care of myself at this point but it is the crawling to the kitchen type of taking care of myself. I have been doing a good job asking for and receiving help to not tax my systems to their extremes.

And I did have fun tootling around the grocery store.
