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.

You have more power than you can imagine

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….

3 Positives:
Cut and assembled 3 bday card fronts yesterday. 23 cards now ready for final assembly and envelopes.
Made a chicken enchilada casserole for dinner. It was yummy with just the right amount of spice
Bloodwork results came back — numbers look a little better.

Our Journey Notes:
T is feeling a bit better. Still trying to find the right med(s) for his allergies. His cough has loosened up a lot and isn’t as dry (from the cold). He has a bit more energy as well in the mornings. Not a lot in the evenings — he spent most of his evening chilling in the living room (sleeping) before I called it a night for both of us.

I still have lots of fatigue and a few other things going on, but overall, feeling a bit more human. Should be hearing from the dr sometime today or tomorrow about the bloodwork results (numbers were a little more in the “I’m comfortable with them” range). I hope it’s sooner rather than later as I need to refill this prescription or have it switched to a new dosage as I’m nearly out of pills and need to change the dosage on the vitamins. Requested a new scrip for the migraine meds yesterday. Hoping to get that filled by Friday. MRI next week and the Dexa scan the week after.
