Patches don’t last

I don’t think that my patches are lasting the 3 days that they promise.  I’m totally putting on a new patch tonight before I go to bed because my throat is on fire and I’m not due to change till tomorrow at 1 pm.  But you know what, I ain’t living with the pain, so I’m just switching early.  Otherwise things are going well.  Spit, fatigue, weakness all unchanged.  No naps during the day today.  Trying to keep those to a minimum so that I can sleep at night.  That urinary bladder infection that I thought I had maybe cleared or I didn’t have.  All those symptoms I had over the weekend and yesterday are pretty much gone.  Granted it could be because I’ve upped my water intake quite a bit.

Had a busy day dropping by work to pick up Logan’s medication, picking Marcus up from school, picking Hektor up from school, and then taking Marcus to therapy.  Had to pick Hektor up because of tornado warnings; they were releasing the kiddos one at a time.  Surprisingly that didn’t wear me out completely and I was at his school for a good 20 minutes mostly standing in line.  I was weakest in the morning, but felt a lot better after eating every meal.  So I’m definitely sticking to my schedule on that.

Tomorrow morning is the first morning in weeks (WEEKS) that I have to get the kiddos ready by myself.  John is going to Austin for the day.  Thankfully he is coming back early, so I don’t have to finish the day with the munchkins by myself too.  If that was the case, there would be a lot of TV in their evening.  One of the reasons why I’m putting that patch on early.  Last thing I need is to be incapacitated tomorrow morning because of pain.
