Feeling Better

I feel better today than I have lately.  I wasn't really aware of not feeling good before, but I feel better today.

The cause is pretty clearly that I now have yesterday's urologist appointment behind me, and everything is fine.  It's odd how the mind can work on the body.

Urologist Appointment

I went to the urologist today.  After a long wait, my brother Jeff and I finally got in an exam room, but the wait proved to be worth it.

I am still cancer free, and I don't have go back for six months.

Another Aide Problem

Yesterday, my aide Tiffany told me she wouldn't be here today because she had to take her son to the doctor.  So, assuming Tiffany told her boss, the company had at least a day, and probably much longer, to find someone else.  It failed.  Janeka had to do the shift.  Nor did the company notify Janeka, my team leader, that the shift was open.  Janeka only found out when I asked her who would be here today, and she called to find out.

Part of the problem, of course, is that the company struggles to find staff when new situations come up.  It can't hit a curveball.  Another part of the problem, however, as far as I can tell, is that it tends not to tell anybody it couldn't find replacement staff.  That leaves its clients in difficult situations.

Sidewalk Stuff

Johneice and I went outside after supper yesterday.  It was a wonderful early summer evening.  We went all the way around my apartment complex.

The sidewalk we followed isn't flat.  It follows the lay of the land and has two or three fairly significant swales.  Presumably it was simpler to build it that way than it would have been to level the land along the sidewalk's course.  The swales aren't huge and my power chair deals with them easily, but it is interesting to see how the sidewalk was built.

Easy Weekend

I had an easy weekend with my bathroom visits.  I was able to urinate easily enough to stay away from real pain.

I have a scope at the urologist Thursday, and that's about how these things go.  I get in a good place just in time to have another procedure, which can throw me off again.  Oh, well.

Eating Out

Last evening for supper, Johneice and I went over to Target, and I had a small PizzaHut pizza at the Starbucks inside Target.  Ain't capitalism grand?

It was a nice night to get out, too-- warm, with a bright blue sky.

Heat Tonight

I think the Heat will win the NBA title tonight.  I hope the Spurs do, but I think they had their chance Tuesday night and failed to close the deal.

If the Heat win, it will not have been a dominating playoff run.  An ill and injured Bulls team gave them some trouble, and both the Pacers and the Spurs could easily have beaten them.  Anyway, Yodit will be pleased.
