July 8, 2013 Monday Afternoon

Spent Friday night watching a couple movies.  Watched the movies Come Out And Play and Parker.  Both were very good movies.  Come Out and Play was a horror thriller and very good.  Went to bed around 10 PM.

Saturday morning we were up by 7 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  Not only was it hard for me to go outside with the bright sun on my eyes, but it was very hot and humid in Milwaukee all weekend.  Spent most of Saturday watching Most Shocking TV on Tru TV.  Since there was not much I could do in 'sunlight', we went to a movie Saturday afternoon.  Now I see why we don't go to movies very often and watch them at home after I download them.  It cost us $50 to see the movie The Heat.  The tickets were $7.50 each,  popcorn and a soda was $14 (which we shared), the large pizza was $16 and throw in gas to the theater .... $50.00.  The movie was very good and we laughed during the entire movie.  Was so nice and soothing on my eyes to be in the dark theater.  The ride home was horrible on my eyes from being in the dark and I sat with my eyes closed most of the ride home.  I looked at Tony at one point as he was driving and said 'don't think that I am watching the road, I have my eyes closed because they burn so much'.  Tony looked at me and said 'me too'.  We both laughed.  Got home and spent the rest of the day and night watching more movies.  Watched the movies Dead Man Down and Safe Haven.  Enjoyed both movies.  We both were in tears at the end of Safe Haven.  We both cry watching sad movies.  Heck, Tony is in tears most mornings when I catch him reading the obits.  I keep asking why he reads the obits if they make him sad.  Went to bed around 10:30 PM.

Sunday we were again up by 7 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  Decided to go pick up Tony's mom and have breakfast with her in the morning.  Had a nice breakfast and drove home along the lake front.  My eyes still hurting in the light.  Came home and watched the movie White Frog.  White frog was a great movie and worth finding to rent and watch.  Gay themed about a young gay kid who died before coming out to his family.  Took a short nap with the dogs after the movie.  Got up and spent the rest of the day watching more TV.  Sunday night we watched the movies Mental and Dark Circles.  Dark Circles was the better of the two movies.  Went to bed around 9 PM for a round of lovin.

This morning I was up at 6:30 AM.  Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot, and Tony a kiss on his way out the door for work.  Tony was not feeling well when he left for work and told me he wish he could just stay home today.  Too bad he is the owner and boss, has to go there, but could leave early?   I am sure he will be home by 5 PM beat tired when he comes home tonight from work.  Went to my 10 AM eye doctor appointment.  Doctor thinks my eye is healing great and also thinks I should cut down on the pain meds.  He says 'four pills a day is a lot of medication'.  I looked at him thinking, four pills are honestly not enough.   Oh well, thankfully I still have more pain medication or I would be at my doctor's office or emergency begging for more.  The pain in my forehead and eye gets a hair better each day but is still very painful.  Light is horrible and my eyes are very sensitive to light.  The swelling around the eye is better and all my scabs have healed.  So now I just need to get rid of the horrible pain behind my left eye.  Doctor said it could take a couple more weeks or month and told me to come back in two weeks so he can look at my eyes again.  Also told me to refill and take another round of the anti viral for the Shingles.  Stopped off at the bank on the way home to deposit the check I got Saturday from Batteries Plus.  Go my full refund from them for trying to screw me out of paying for new batteries for my scooter when I swear they never even opened the battery box.  Happy to put this behind me and cash the check.  I did post another comment to my first one on their website to say they sent me a check.  I still stand by the fact I think they tried to screw me.  Took a long nap with the dogs this afternoon.  It is hot, humid and rain all morning here in Milwaukee.  Feels like we are in the tropics.  The sun is out now and it is very humid and hot, in the 80s.  The air conditioning has been on since Friday. 
So, my Shingles is getting better with each day.  My head and eye still hurt enough to take pain pills to try to get rid of the pain.  Other than that I feel I am healing good, just not fast enough.  The pain and sensitivity to light are my main problems right now.  Best just to stay indoors in the dark and not outside in the hot humid brightness.  I also could sleep all day and night, but hopefully that will improve as I start doing more and feeling better.
