I Need Some Ice for My Bag

I'm afraid today's entry is going to sound remarkable familiar. I awoke at 8:30. I didn't feel all that good. I took levox, Tram, Prometh, and Cyclo. By noon my stomach cramps had become much stronger and had developed a predictable rhythm. I took more tram and Cyclo. I wasn't able to do much so I played Coloroid on my phone. 

Another symptom I've had all long but never really said much about is fatigued is crawly skin. My response is to scratch. the top of my head is the worst. My entir scalp feels like it is swollen, hot, and inflamed. John got the hot water bottle, filled it with ice, and put it on my head. It really helped. I'm beginning to wonder if I have a rash on my scalp. Its so bad I've awakened to find myself scratching it. John told me the other morning that he saw me doing scratching while sleeping, too.

By 2 I fell asleep. I know John did work stuff in the morning and came here to organize his truck. Hayden was very laughy this afternoon. Jana was tremendous gentle whenever she came in to check on me. She found my ice hat very interesting. She also went out to get me some more cookies. 

I've been trying to communicate with my brother via fb but he hasn't responded to any of my posts, questions or otherwise. Very weird. I posted some new pix today. On of myself in the late 80s. I'm not particularly fond of it but John likes it. I think it makes me look too cute. I got a couple of posts on it. One from Francie telling me how Hartsog I look. I'm not sure how much I really look like them. At first I saw it but now that I've taken several second looks, I don't see it. I'm enjoying the getting to know you process with all of them. So far I've got Francie, Leslie, Julie (all sisters), and Heather. Heather lived in Lansing and knew Rob and Rich from high school. The sisters tell me there's another sister in Ca and a brother. I haven't met either of them. 

I want to get a couple from our wedding up too. If Phil doesn't get the pix up of dad in Korea, then I'll do it. I'm sure there are others but I'm not sure what yet.
