I can't complain that it's rainy, because I have until recently been saying California needs so much more in the rain! But it is cold, and it is gray, and I have been struggling with my brains again.
Different friends have been posting about getting the covid vaccine. I'm glad for them, and the same way that I will be glad for me, considering everything that we've all put on hold for the last 12 months, or even longer.
I went looking on Kaiser's website about what are the criteria now for being eligible for vaccination. One of the criteria is a BMI of 40 or over. So out of curiosity I plugged my numbers in, I climbed on the scale for the first time in over a year, and I have now broken 230 lb. Which I don't know that I feel some kind of way about it. It sort of just seems like a datum? Maybe that's a healthy way of looking at my weight. Anyway apparently I am a possessor of a BMI of 39.8. Which I guess strictly speaking doesn't make me eligible for the bump up in timeline to receive the vaccine. And my brain has not been letting me go out and dig and research for other appointments to get it. Every time I think about that as something I could possibly be doing, I find it flittering away like it's a butterfly? Straight out of my brain and something else distracting comes on in to my head. I click the next link or I change social media sites or I get up and make myself a snack. On the upside I'm currently working on my snack and a glass of water with a slice of lemon in it. Because I was just advising other folks who I know who had reasons to be taken care of themselves during a grief process, that you need to take care of the physical body so I'm taking my own advice and that's a good thing.
So what it is, is I'm fat, I have diabetes, but it's pretty well managed. I believe our numbers are under 7.5, generally, which is according to the CDC website the tipping point for being able to access early vaccine. The question that I had was does my blood clotting disorder count as a serious enough condition, considering that it too is very well managed. And I haven't yet had the courage to email my doctor about that specific question.
Okay I'm going to go ahead and eat my late lunch, drink my water, and hopefully I will I want to try calling my mom? And maybe after I eat I will have the energy to try doing that. I've been in some pain lately, from an unexplained pain in my hip socket, which has drawn the knee, and the ankle with my previous injuries there out of whack. And I don't know what yet to do about it. I'm working on some different things physical therapy wise, and I took a Flexeril last night to be able to sleep and my ankle and my knee both readjusted themselves this morning during the usual regimen of stretches and the hip got worse, and by worse I mean more painful so whatever is going on in my hip is a problem
