3 Positives:
productive day overall
a few more things checked off the to-do list
an all too brief walk in the rain

My Journey Notes:
Right hip acting up – likely from standing too long while canning tomatoes day before yesterday. Hurts to stand, sit or lay down. I did find that putting a pillow under my right leg helped a bit, and the Icewave patches worked for about 5 minutes. No stairs today, but hopefully, things will start to right themselves a bit by this evening.

3 Positives:
Made some progress on a couple of projects
Good food
Checked off a few things on yesterday’s list

My Journey notes:
Grateful for supports that help with my short term memory stuff. Again, lists are my friend. New routines for the long term that include specific steps help keep things moving in the right direction here.

3 Positives:
I haven’t missed a morning walk in over 30 days!
Lists are still good!
I got some much needed sleep last night…

3 Positives:
Made a little progress on a project
heard from a friend
RAK in the mail

3 Positives:
Yesterday’s list – completed
Slept a little better last night
Heard a little bit of news – not sure if it’s the “catch your breath” kind of news or a “sigh of relief” at this point.
And a bonus: shopping for Father’s Day is done!

3 Positive things:
finding the positive in a very difficult moment – deep breathing helped a lot!
enjoyed a few minutes in the sunshine
brainstorming how to navigate next steps

My Journey Notes:
Stitches out. Healing progressing as anticipated. This thing itches like crazy though and the PA had to pull a bit of the scabbing away to clip the stitches. She sure did them better and with less pain than the tech did when removing the drain. I was able to clean up the site a little yesterday — but hoping to do a little more today and apply another layer of antibacterial ointment…

Next appointment on the calendar and labs too. We’ll see how things unfold in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, there are still restrictions and movement limitations remain.
