One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that I started listening to podcasts of the old mysteries that were made before TV. They give me something to listen to when I'm tired of holding my head up to watch Amazon videos. If anyone has suggestions for other podcasts please let me know. I'm not sure if these mysteries help me sleep are not. They are full of dramatic music that just pops up as the plot goes. They give me one other option out something to do in bed. This voice software is supposed to learn my voice but it does not seem to. There are quite a number of things that it can never ever post right. One of them is delete that. That is supposed to remove last thing I said. A large share of the time it does not match what I say so I have to say the remove command and mentioned earlier. Most of the time when I say that command it reads me what I just dictated. And never does it the first time but reads me what I just dictated. Sometimes it is once and sometimes it takes five times. The strangest one is that I will say delete that and it will bring up the print screen which confuses me. How can possibly get print out of the word delete. I know my speech is getting worse especially with my trigeminal pain is on a rampage but some of the time like today is not. It's weird that I find I have to humor a software. When I worked I spend much of my time humoring people and asked for ridiculous things. It seems like a traded work frustrations for software frustrations. I guess I can't escape dealing with frustrations by now working anymore.
Yesterday my neck pain went crazy. I think I pulled a muscle in my neck when Matt put me back in bed after lunch. I remember trying to lift my head and feeling a pain in the right side of my neck. It just kept getting worse and by the time I went to bed none of my cervical support pillows would work. I'm allowed to take one morphine between lunch and bedtime. I only do it if my neck hurts. I had the lidocaine put on my neck three times last evening. It wasn't until bedtime that all this stuff started working. Around 1 o'clock I was finally able to fall sleep. I got my wife of out of her bed about three times last night but did not wake her after she went to sleep. I call that a win but she probably sees it as still a frustration. I being a pest. Like Popeye said "I am what I am and that's all that I am". That gained a life philosophy from cartoons I watch as a kid. Sometimes I think I am a little strange and sometimes I know I'm a lot strange. Thank you again for reading my blog. Have a great weekend.
