My card got refused again today! They say now they've gutta snail mail me a new pin. Now I have to WAIT for the snail mail but they say it can still be used as a credit card. This sux cause I used up all my cash, I'm cashless!

I'm having major issues trying to use my master money debit card! It got refused yesterday when I tried to use it so I called the bank this morning to say wtf! They had to reactivate it! I tried today and same issue! I called again they said its active. The only thing I can think is because I don't have good fine motor skills I could be pressing the wrong characters. This is very frustrating!  

I took my scoot to Wg's today cause they say rain this weekend. I got a beach chair! I had  bought one b4 from Walmart but someone stole it when it was delivered to my biulding here:(! I need a fan too but that will wait till next month!

I couldn't do hics today cause putting on and wearing a sneaker on my right is irritating to corn on my right little toe! The pain was unbearable!I've been able to get my tax returns from '15' and "14"!KJ did them on turbotax! I just did a forgot password,made new pw, stored it in notepad! Google chrome saves it too! I really like chrome and not just cause it saves pws, it's easy to use and it's also easy to search the web too!Tomorrow I've got no plans as of yet but they're saying rain is coming so maybe I'll do a Wg's  scoot. I'm thinking of going back to work on my bike! I've just gutta get the new batteries connected right! My apartment is spotless! I've got a new homemaker and she's the best one yet! She even dusts everything. 

Tomorrow HH makes a home visit then I gutta scoot to Wg's cause I'm out of some stuffs! No rec tomorrow night :(.

I went to the dentist today! He had to do more deep cleaning.I got confused cause I've had it done many times b4 and it was done in one visit.I was asked if I wanted to be numbed but I never was b4 so I said "no". It's not bad but this time he did more scraping deep below my teeth into my gums with the metal scraper! I think it's done now, they took another impression for the partial they're gonna make. 

I didn't do laundry today cause there just wasn't enough to warrant spending the $4 to do it! I did have one task to do,email HH to say I'm not doing hics tomorrow cause of an 11am dentist appt. That's part of leading a Responsible successful independent life!  

I've just gutta give myself a well done Jamie!I'm living an extremely successful independent  life being a survivor from a brain injury! I believe I do better than some non brain injured people,ex my brother! I'm able to live within my means living on a fixed income! Pay all my bills on time, get to all my appointments,and I don't drive,stay healthy! I think as tbi survivors go I'm leading the way :) !

It's hot in my apartment! I don't wanna turn the ac on so I'm dealing with the heat the same way I did in my Quincy apartment, wearing only my boxers. Tomorrow I should scoot to Wg's for weekly shopping !

I can't remember what happened today! I'm safe and feeling good now and that's the important thing.Oh yeah,and I'm happy too!

For two days now my throat has been on fire! I ran out of emeprosolve! I asked my homemaker to go to Wg's yesterday and pick up a med I had a script for and tell them I was out of emeprosolve! She forgot the emeprosolve! I just went to Wg's and had them fill a script for this! It was burning so bad last night and this morning I couldn't do hics! I just took one and it put the fire out :)! 

I've gutta get going on my laundry soon! It's just too hot,I did fire up my ac though,the thrifty guy I am but gutta think of my comfort! I'm getting a lot of those "junk" calls on my cell! I get the number on caller id,call back and it always says "disconnected" .

Peopod came with all my stuffs. Putting all the freezer stuff was a breeze after HH organized my freezer,and I kept it organized too. I did all my trips for the week too. I'm enjoying all the comments on my fb post bout living an independent life! I guess I just need lots a reassurance about lots of things!I am a proud survivor though! 

I was checking the status on my peopod order then started searching for items I used to get. Cube steak was an inexpensive type of steak was one! The trick is to marinate the heck out of it,so I put some teriyaki and soy sauce in my cart.  

I was doing a peopod order and my card kept being refused. I had plenty in my account so I called and said WTF! They asked me my security questions then unblocked it! I was able to complete my peopod order! They are delivering it tomorrow btw 3.30-9pm. So many things to go through and keep my focus. 

Today I had pt at noon. I got pt approved to walk short distance again without an assistive device ;). I used to be then I had a few falls, I am again! Still working on being approved to do it in public! Then I scooted to the store with LQ walking along with me! Before I forget, yesterday I was scooting back to hics from Quincy market and a beutiful young lady started walking with me. She started a conversation too! That just makes me feel good,a beutiful young lady comes up to spend some time with me. Tomorrow I gutta get to Wg's to get some stuffs and I gutta do my monthly  peapod order!Fed-x delivered that one handed cutting device today too.

I took a nap this afternoon,when I woke had no clue as to what happened today! I then figured out what day it is then it all came back! I'd be concerned if it didn't come back. Tomorrow I've got pt at noon then I've gutta take a scoot to the store and maybe Wg's!

I've been to hics then right after the dentist! They finally started doing a deep cleaning! A person came in and said we're gonna start with the anasteadic!I said "why, I never had it before for a deep cleaning"!Then the doctor came in and just started scraping my teeth into my gums. I'm supposed  to have this done every year having periodontist disease! They also approved a partial whatever that is so they took impressions too! Now gutta make some dinna!  

Tomorrow is laundry day! I checked my value on my card today and I've got just enough to wash and dry a load!

Kinda a crazy day! I woke up to my door buzzer going off! It was JR from hics, nobody could get in touch with me! I was sleeping in today. It's nice to know that hics has my back! Still it through me off a tad. I had pt at noon then lied down for a bit! Tomorrow I gutta scoot to Wg's and get some stuffs but I'll get up when I get up! No pressure!  

I 'Fed' up big this morning! I was planning to have an upper endoscopy done at BED hospital in Boston done this morning but I guess I had to fast for this! I just had coffee this morning but I'm the type of person who can't lie! I went all the way into the city for nothing! I was supposed to have a companion show up too but they never showed, I wouldn't have done it a 2nd time without anesthesia anyway! 

I got way too anxious  to have my ultrasound done! It's  hard for to hold my bladder given my prostate and kidney issues and I didn't want to risk embarrassment! I did struggle through getting laundry done today though and now I'm both neuro and physically beat! I'm having difficulty ambulating around cause this corn makes it painful! I tried cutting it off but I just have issues making my body parts to work in unison! :(! Tomorrow I've got hics!

Watching that 70's show and keep flashing back to hanging out at town forests and later Mike and Donna's doing the same thing they are ;)!

Tomorrow I've gutta get an ultrasound done of my kidneys!  I have to drink a 24oz bottle of water at 9am then NOT empty my bladder until its completed! That will be very chalenging given my prostate issues and kidney issues!

I got a fb text this morning from Bri saying my bank had called Ed saying "there seems to be fraudulent charges on your account"! I knew of a few I didn't recognize but I've got to wait until Monday to call about them!I've now gutta change my contact person for Citizens bank!It seems Bri knows best how to contact me, maybe I should make her that person!
