3 Positives:
lots of progress made on current project
new furniture covers are in place and they make the room look lighter
another mostly veggie dinner – yumm!
Our Journey Notes:
day 2 has passed – only my PCP has reviewed all the tests.
3 Positives:
talked with both dr offices yesterday
15 cards assembled, only 5 more to go with this set
chef salad for dinner last night – yumm!
Our Journey Notes:
FINALLY: Phone call from the surgeon’s office. No lesions on the brain. That was the good news. However, there is still concern regarding the cervical spine issues found earlier where there are lesions, stenosis and pinching of the spinal cord. That’s not going away. Blood work ordered. Talked to PCP – same response. But he also ordered bloodwork — so it’s off to the lab at the clinic to get that donethis mo rning since I do have to go in fasting for one of the tests. Hopefully they’ll have things read and ready for a next step by tomorrow, though I’m not holding my breath with the surgeon’s office.
3 Positives:
Roof bid accepted – start date soon
Last piece for the challenge nearly done
Went through a myriad of old program CD’s yesterday to see if they would work and tossed a bunch! I have a ton more of digital images to go through now.
Bonus: Missionary card box needs one more card and the order will be complete. Hoping to finish it today.
Our Journey Notes:
T has another post-op appointment this morning. He’s still having some pain and itchiness. And his eyes are really tired by the time he gets home every evening from work. Fingers crossed that everything is working as it should.
Nothing from the orthopedic surgeon’s office yet re: MRI results and next steps. Hoping today is the day the PA/office will touch bases with me. If not, sending a message through the app requesting a call or tele-visit ASAP. It’s hard waiting when you know they’ve got the results and have looked at them. I know it’s a busy office, it’s just hard being on the waiting end.
I hope your day is a good one.
3 Positives:
T got a blessing – his surgery is tomorrow
a very nice “catch up” with friends last evening
and a welcomed haircut for me
Our Journey Notes:
Waiting on the surgical center to call with T’s time to show up. We’re hoping that the proposed time listed on the patient portal at his Dr.’s office is still the same. Last time they called late morning. Ride arranged for tomorrow.
Brain scan appointment for me is closing in. Hoping to have some more definitive answers sooner rather than later – though I should be able to read the radiologist’s findings by Monday afternoon. Let’s hope that the next appointment to discuss the findings won’t be six weeks out.
3 Positives:
quiet reflective time
boxes checked off on the to – do list
a sweet note from a friend via snail mail
Our Journey Notes:
T has an eye appointment today. Hoping the pressures are down as he hasn’t been to the office in nearly 3 weeks now. Maybe today will be the day he gets the scrip for his new lenses.
“Forgetfulness” is happening more frequently, drats. Thankfully, T and A are being helpful with a few reminders — but not nagging. Yesterday was a good day overall… including checking off most of the list for the day. Really hoping for some answers next week and hoping the report findings for the upcoming MRI won’t be dragged out over the following weekend.
3 Positives:
spent a little time in the kitchen, no bakes and a fancier than normal dinner
attempting a new tatting pattern for a lace edging (brain exercise) – so far, so good
Price check before heading to the office supply store got a few dollars off. SWEET!
Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye is still pretty bloodshot. A student made a comment yesterday His eye is still a bit sore and tires easily. I really hope it’s healing properly. He doesn’t have an appointment with the surgeon this week.
PT exercises are coming along and I think they are helping. A little soreness after a PT session at the clinic and for a day or two, but there are a couple of positives. Headaches, still have them frequently, but they aren’t as intense. YAY! I’ve only had to take one Maxalt in the last 9 days. So that’s really good. Tylenol is sufficient. Next week is the consult with the surgeon and a decision as to whether to complete the series of appointments with the PT.
3 Positives:
time in the studio
following up on a RAK idea
breakfast for dinner. I hear it has a name – “brinner”
3 Positives:
several things checked off the to-do list, including cleaning the studio
allergies a little better
T picked a small bowl of peas from the garden and we got a first cutting of leaf lettuce
3 Positives:
AC techs will be here today!
T’s post-op went well. Pressure dropped 10 points from they day before
Studio time today. Hopefully, a productive one.
3 Positives:
Lunch with 2 sisters and friends – it was fun
Envelopes and inserts printed and ready for the stack of cards – the personalizing has begun
New bday card ready to try out. We’ll see how that goes…. LOL
Our Journey Notes:
T signs consent forms this morning – surgery is on Monday. Let’s hope this procedure works and we can then focus on getting the right eye cataract done and some new glasses that hopefully, will help him read screens and pages in books again.
No additional word from the dr yet on the referral for the Spinal Orthopedist following the MRI last week. I guess I’ll wait another week and touch bases with the dr and have them press the button again on the referral if I haven’t heard anything by next Friday. I don’t imagine that I’ll get an appointment before September. So, in the meantime….
Greatitudes
