time in the studio playing with paper and glue
comfort food

My Journey Notes:
Back in the insomnia cycle. We’re 2 nights/days in. I hope this cycle will be short-lived.

T’s first day at work post-op went about as planned. He has half a day off today to visit with the surgeon again and see if the pressures are continuing to fall. He’ll go back to campus on Friday with hopes of being able to work at the computer for a little bit of time and not completely stress his eyes out. Let’s hope the restricted to light duty note is prepped and ready for him this morning at the office and he can pick it up while he’s there… they didn’t call back for us to pick it up Tuesday afternoon when we requested it the first time and they were closed yesterday by the time T and driver were heading home from work.

My Journey Notes:
Making a list of things “of concern” to discuss at an upcoming appointment. Hoping it doesn’t get much longer or that a few things become more of a concern between now and then. Thankfully, the daily notes/to-do lists are still very helpful overall and keeping me on track for most things. So grateful for that. The daily routine is also a help and I do find that if that is altered, the day doesn’t always go as planned and it’s harder to get back on track.

more rest

3 Positives:
T is getting the advanced medical treatment he needs
Insta-care did a great job this go round despite being totally swamped when we arrived 15 minutes after opening.
We got to bypass the ER for admittance to the hospital and not have to pay that fee.

My Journey Notes:
I’m exhausted. It was a long day yesterday at insta-care, but I’m grateful we didn’t have to wait in the ER for another admissions review. They took him straight up to his room and didn’t leave him in the hall way. Now, I guess it’s my turn… I’m starting to come down with this crud. Started meds last night. Fingers crossed we’ve caught it in time.
