be kind to yourself

3 Positives:
chose another book to read
assembled the wreath, it could use a little more greenery
got an appointment with the PCP for next week

Our Journey Notes:
I have an early in the morning appointment with my pcp next week. Long list to discuss.

T has his next flap lift procedure tomorrow afternoon. He’s taken the full day off from work and has plans to get a few more things checked off his “prepping for an earlier than planned retirement” list before and after the procedure. We’ll see how things go on the after list — I have a feeling he might want to take a long rest — he’ll be fully awake for this one, just the eye numbed and for a short time. Hoping it goes as planned and while his vision won’t improve with this procedure, we can start planning for the next one – hopefully a full lens replacement for the new cataract that has grown in his good eye since all this procedure stuff got under way last fall.

find the good…

3 Positives:
2 coats of paint on all but the ceiling in the master bath
T noticed that things were a bit brighter in there (that’s a good thing)
Got a little reading time in

Our Journey Notes:
T’s been having more bad eye days than good this past week. He’s pulled out the walking stick and is using it quite a bit in the house, but isn’t taking it outside except for on the deck. The cataract is really impacting his right (good) eye with some significant blurriness and more. Let’s hope that will be scheduled within a couple of weeks of his next procedure in May.

I’ve got to rethink a few things — and hope that tweaking a few things will be helpful. The lists are still working pretty well — including adding a priority to some items on the short and long lists. I did skip a few things last week, and need to move those things to the top of the list for this week. Hoping the “tweaks” work in my favor.
