I don't know

I have no idea why but I have been ill for the last five days. I have no fever, no pain, nothing to pin down. I can barely walk. My legs feel trembly and I cannot get my knees straight. My legs feel bent at the knees all the time when I walk. My chest feels like someone is sitting on it. Those are my vague symptoms. ???

Tommy has offered several times each day to come from Birmingham and take me to the doctor. So far, I have rejected that.

Saturday morning about 5:30 I was on the floor and could not get up. I did not fall. As I was leaning over to pick up something, I sort of got off balance and just slipped to the side. I sat before I fell. The sitting was a conscious attempt to keep from falling. I was not dizzy or felt off balance. As I sat there with my knees up, I could not straighten out my legs because of what was in front of me. It would be three hours before I dared call my friend to help me.

Finally, I put forth the supreme effort and got myself  turned around where I could stretch my legs out and get over on my knees and reach for something on which to pull. I was hot and sweaty when I finally got up, got a cold washcloth and wiped my sweaty upper body, cooling me down. It took an hour lying still to calm down and cool off.

Each day, I feel a tiny bit better, not much, just a less awful feeling.  Since I barely leave my bed, I think I need to get up more. They get you out of bed in a hospital, so I will get me out of bed every day, several times each day. Going to the bathroom does not count. By Tuesday, I should go to the free dinner.

I have been very frugal in many ways. I have not gone shopping for anything. However, each night after 9 pm, I have gone to get fast food. I don't have to negotiate traffic, wait much for anything. I have only done this the last three nights., but won't do it tonight.

Since my hair is disgusting and very dirty, I cannot get out of the car. Between nasty hair and not feeling secure driving in heavy traffic, I missed going to the Farmer's Market and getting squash. Not one person had an opinion on squash casserole, so I will try what I remember.

Tonight, I must get into the kitchen and cook the turkey tenders. I might make coleslaw if I have the energy. There! I will have something to eat. I do have lettuce and tomatoes. I can make the squash casserole after going to the market on Tuesday.

When Tommy comes on Tuesday, I might go to the doctor. I don't know.
