Kristi Karnopp's Diary & Blog

I made it to dialysis by 11 AM. Therapy went okay—great to some extent. I am ready for therapy to be over for good though. Ha Inc. three sessions of therapy has been rough and tough this time. I want to be DONE! I am ready for physical therapy to be OVER! Now I am waiting for my name to be called. I am using the scale now! Woohoo, even though I feel unstable on my feet yet. At least I am walking around to the bathroom and back on a daily basis now instead of using the commode in the living room sometimes. I have made some progress despite the scariness of what it feels like.

I made it to therapy with a few minutes to spare before it is my turn.

Got my phone charged to 100% this morning by 7 a.m. I am very happy to have a charged phone, too. The charger for the iPad is kind of screwy so I do my best not to move the charger much. The iPad is charged to 100% now, too. I will be leaving for physical therapy in a few minutes to wait for my ride to my first appointment.

I am going to say good morning now that I am dressed for the day for physical therapy and dialysis. Now, with it being Friday, I have one last dialysis session of the week—today, and my weekend begins once I leave the clinic for the weekend.

Tomorrow is the Tupperware party. I hope two people do not spoil the afternoon. JM and KW are the two people I am worried about. If KW did not get a gift for JP’s birthday, she will not get her $25 gift card from Amazon nor will she ever get a gift from me ever again. Ever since I moved into Garden Court on October 1, 2020, she has never came to my place. I never been to her place since JW passed way. The only neighbor I have visited since I moved in has been DC in apartment #116. DC is one of my best friends who doesn’t say anything to other people—in this case other l tenants. My distaste for KW’s behavior is one of those people I worry about at times. Anyway, my time sy Garden Court is short as I am moving someday to an apartment building that is even safer than here.

Up and playing games on my phone that needs to be on the charger now at 62% so I can have a fully charged phone for the day at therapy and dialysis treatment. I am tired and want some rest before my therapy and dialysis appointments. Yay, the weekend is coming! Woohoo!

I no longer use Grammarly. Trying to delete an account with them resulted to them taking $90 from my account in two weeks. The number we can call resulted to being told how to delete account, but it did not work. Grammarly became fraudulent and my bank had to put in a fraud claim. I got my $90 back. This incident turned out that my debit card had to be replaced, and my caregiver JP has denied me to memorize the numbers of my new debit card. It does piss me off a bit, but there is nothing I can do about it right now.

A Big Possibility JP Will Not Get A Gift, Too

I just got done talking to my friend DC about our friend and neighbor KW. I have this feeling that KW did not get JP a birthday gift. We will find out for sure Saturday afternoon at the Tupperware party JP is having Saturday afternoon. If KW did not get JP a gift, we will not give KW her Amazon $25 gift card. We will use the gift card on Amazon ourselves then, and I am not wasting my money and time of putting $25 on a card for someone who deems selfish and entitled because the Tupperware party happens to be on KW’s birthday. DC and I believe that KW will not get JP a gift. I will not waste my time on someone else who does not give cards or gifts on the birthday of all her friends. It is time for me to be honest anyway.

I really do not want to give KW anything for her birthday because she really does not deserve anything. She has never been up to my apartment since I moved into the building in 2020. Since I have been sick and out of my home, I never heard from her at all. My birthday has not been celebrated in recent years.

Final Entry of the Night

I had a lazy day all day long. The only time I got out of bed was to run to the bathroom. I safely walk to the bathroom with my walker. Yes, I can walk now. I just do not walk around when a caregiver call is not here because of my safety. This is also the first full day I can say I feel good after having a cold for a while. DH, JP, and I have all gotten sick this month. JP got sicker and DH got something similar to the floor. I ended up with a bad cold for three weeks. My left ear has begun to feel better yesterday starting to tell me air is getting into my ear, and doing some crackling-because it is opening up again. Thank goodness. Now, I am going to say good night. Good night dear people.

For the first time in a while, I am caught up with my journaling. It is a great feeling. Good morning, world. Are you going to be nice today? Lately, from the news, the world is very troubled and filled with hatred. I avoid hate whenever I can these days. There are tenants in this building who are hateful people, and I can name one person who is filled with hatred and that is BP. Trying to say hello to her one day several days ago was on deaf ears. Why was she among the tenants who were chatting in the lobby?! She ignored me, and one Friday morning she had come out making a comment whoever started the fire in their apartment was was an idiot. Ok BP, shut up now and walk away please. BP is very mean, and her frame is little person. Yes, BP is a mean little person. I do not like her at all.

JP got here around 9 a.m. and we got started for the day. I walked to the bathroom and went, then we came back out to the living room and back to bed. Yes, today is a lazy day. A good day yo relax and do nothing.

Dialysis Update

Ok, I did not use the Hoyer today. At least the technicians did not. I got in the scale today by walking onto the scale this morning. A little scary, but I did it. It was a bit tiring as well. At least I did it, finally

.

I am at physical therapy waiting for my turn at 10 am. This is my last session for a while in a few days. I am looking forward to a break. Today I have DG as my therapist, a female therapist I like a lot. Since G left, I have been having BL or DG this time around. 

JP and I were talking yesterday. Her Tupperware party is on November 11, 2023. It is KW’s birthday. She said that it is an honor that her birthday is also on November 11^th. She wants a gift from Bath and Body Works, but the prices there are higher than normal because it is in the mall. We are getting KW a $25 gift card from Amazon instead. We hope all in all that JP gets a gift KW promised JP, but we will wait and see. If she does not get JP a gift, we will not get KW another birthday gift next year. I do not like it when someone promises and does not carry through their promises. We will wait and see.

Today is physical therapy and dialysis day. Am I looking forward to therapy today? No, not really. This last session has me a little bit bored this time. I have DG as my therapist today. BL on Friday.

DH will be here in forty-five minutes from now.
