I gathered up my meds today (pretty cheap stuff) and arranged to stick around for a day or two to be sure I could function normally before leaving town.
The doctor here in Pahrump gave me prescriptions for 2 weeks only, likely to encourage me to contact my doctor in Washington as soon as possible. That means I need to stay on a straight line towards Port Townsend and forgo the sight seeing along the way. So I’ll be on the peninsula in 7 or 8 days.
Today was the first day I spent in the real world, and boy does it show. The baby aspirin regimen to lessen heart attacks wreaks havoc on my arms; whenever I touch anything with my arms a bruise shows up. It’s a “blood thinner”. Then, they added plavix which has the same affect. After one day both arms are covered in bruises and I’ve got three tiny scratches bleeding. It just isn’t going to work if I have to walk around dripping blood from my arms.
