1:30 pm - Kirkpatrick Monuments to pay balance of our headstone.

Later in the day I decided to leave the WhatsApp Family Chat. No one wants to hear about my woes and I don't like feeling ignored. I try to communicate on a deeper level and my family replies with one or two words, or just an emoji, if they reply at all. I feel like I'm not that important to my family and I'm still hurt that no one has phoned to speak with me since Dennis died 5 weeks ago, not even on Thanksgiving Day. I know Christmas will be the same. Being alone by choice hurts less than being ignored.

Today's Journal 

I took the Lyrica last night for the first time. One pill, before bed, as prescribed. It was only 25 mg but I did sleep better and I had less numbness and tingling through the night.

When I got up this morning it still wasn't too bad. I got 7 hours and 45 minutes sleep, with a score of 83. That's the best I've had since this all started 6+ weeks ago. The symptoms worsened as the day went on but I still think that I'm a little better today than I was yesterday.

My doctor is starting me on the smallest dosage and I'm only taking it once a day to see how I react to it. He's going to call me in 2 weeks. If it's working great I can stay on this dosage or if it's only helping a little bit he will increase it for another 2 weeks. It won't cure the problem it's just to help you deal with the symptoms. 

I guess if it works for you you take one in the morning and one at night. Apparently with my particular condition (nerve root impingement) they can prescribe as high as 250 mg per day (for some conditions it's even higher), so 25 mg is a pretty small dose. But you have to be cautious because it can be very hard on your liver. 

I know you can't tell from only taking one pill but I'm hopeful that it will give me enough relief that I can get a decent night's sleep which in turn may help my body to heal faster. That's the plan anyway.

Today I began decluttering my clothes closet. I moved my winter coats back down to the main floor and hung them in the coat closet by the front door. I packed up a couple of jackets and some clothes I know longer wear. I also grabbed the clean clothes from Dennis' laundry basket and put them in a box to donate. I'm not done with going through all my clothes. This may take a few days.

I'm still in a lot of pain and having problems walking and doing stairs. It's been six weeks!

Today's Journal 

I decided to get back to decluttering. I did Day 7 of the 30-Day Organizing Bootcamp. 

Day Seven - Under the Kitchen Sink 

I took everything out of the cupboard. Washed the shelf and the sides. Then I put white sticky shelf liner down, organized all the cleaning supplies, got rid of a few items, and then put it all back again. 

---

Afterwards, I noticed that there was a voice message on the landline phone that I had not listened to yet. Apparently the message was left at 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning. It was from Kirkpatrick monuments letting me know that the headstone has been engraved and installed at the cemetery. 

Oh my God. I had no idea. If I had listened to the message yesterday morning I would have definitely gone to see it yesterday and I know that John and Lise would have liked to have come with me to see it as well. 

I designed the front of this headstone and Dennis had hoped that he would live long enough to see it in person. I hope somehow he can. 🙏 

I called Wendy and asked her to come with me and Tickles. We went for a walk first and then we ended up at the headstone. It turned out beautiful. I know Dennis isn't actually buried there yet but it still was emotional to see our names on a stone in the cemetery.

8:00 am - appointment with dental hygienist to have my teeth cleaned. The last time I was 10 months ago, on December 14, 2023. 

Earlier this year I missed a dental appointment because it fell on the same day that Dennis had an immunotherapy treatment and I had to cancel it and somehow never rescheduled it. 

Today, the dental bill came to $192.85 but my portion of it only cost me $21.00. The new government dental plan for low incomers covered the rest. Thank goodness.

3:30 pm - 5:00 pm: meeting with financial planner at RBC.

I received a small life insurance policy and my advisor helped me figure out how to stretch it to last as long as I do. That will depend on how long my cancer stays at bay. I will no longer get Dennis's OAS and only 60% of his CPP. We needed every penny of those government pensions just to get by. I will have to tighten the budget quite a bit further. I hate to talk about money while I'm still grieving the loss of the love of my life but I have to be practical as well. Damn, I wish I wasn't in such physical pain while I'm dealing with all of this.

Orange Shirt Monday

Monday, September 30, 2024

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The day honours the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. 

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.
