Day 3627

 I woke up at 8, played games,and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Then I went out to the car and got the new bathroom lights.

Installing the lights took 3 hours.  There were several trips to the garage.  Early on I strained my back.  That made moving, much less climbing on step stools very painful.  I had to drill mounting holes in the new mounting plates.  Wire nuts were of course a problem.  When we installed a light bulb it was clear that they were much too bright.  I was hot, tired, and beginning to feel sick.  We went to Home Depot anyway.  I barely made it home ahead of the diarrhea.  

 I'd developed a nasty gut ache to go with my back pain.  I thought that eating half a dozen Club crackers might help.  Nope.  After about an hour I threw them up.  At that point I gave up.  I took a shower and went to bed at 4.

Going to bed didn't help.  The gut ache disappeared to be replaced by the worst case of shivers I've ever had.  I was really shaking.  Eventually they stopped and I fell asleep.   I woke up after 8.  At that point I was just feeling exhausted.  Of course my back hurt every time I tried to turn over.

I couldn't sleep, so I played games until about 11.  Then I put on the CPAP and went to sleep - eventually.

I'm going to give Mounjaro one more week.  If I'm seriously sick next Monday I'll call the doctor and ask for advice.
