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.

My Journey Notes:
This week has been a little crazy trying to find an affordable med for the migraines — let’s just say we still haven’t found one that doesn’t wipe out the budget and that isn’t a triptan based med which I have developed a sensitivity to. Calling the dr’s office again this morning asking him to pull the prescription for the last prescribed med (over a $1000 a month for 8 pills with insurance) and go with what I’ve been doing the last 5 months.

The countdown for next month’s surgery is on. Just under two weeks now.

My Journey Notes:
It’s been an okay few weeks. The lists and notes continue to be good things to keep me on top of things. I’m even keeping on top of some exercise 6 days a week. I feel off when I don’t get my walk in. We have a few things to take care of this weekend including taxes.
