Well one of those days. Mama said there would be days like this (cue the music). Up and feeling good and then crash, boom, crunch @##$% kind of day. I appreciate folks hanging in there as I am working at about 50% at this point. Knee coming along, stamina not so much. But the real problem is my back as we spend our nights together trying to find the one magic position that does not result in a squirmy achy pot of jello. Sorry trying not to be negative but blew that ship out to sea already.
However, my next podcast script is done and date set for recording. Following up my standards-based program about the grow industry of cannabis with folks from SkyMint talking about the real nitty gritty of retail challenges and security. With all my recent activity researching the industry you would think I would have reached out for some "chemical" help at this point of my surgical recovery but I'm staying strong. Odd that after much begging for speakers, I now have at least four in the "wait room" and no energy to pursue. Some of this is self-inflicted as I have forsworn the walking assists and am relying totally on myself at this point so there's progress (even, stupidly stairs). The therapy folks are always waxing poetic about how great I am doing so I am doing my best to represent. I would love to find a lightweight portable stool though I could carry around.
Doctor visit was welcome as my final bandage was removed (ouch? actually not so much) and I was able to shred the horrendous compression stockings - yay. He was happy with my progress but I believe more admiring of his needlework. He said he would not have to give me a "Dad lecture" as I was improving. I pointed out I was old enough to be his Mother so try again. Ran into an old work chum from MIOSHA who was on her 2-week checkup for a total ankle replacement-no weight bearing for six weeks-so one can always find someone worse off. Meanwhile I'm up to riding a bike in therapy so I reward myself with another sliver of Ben & Jerry when I get home from PT-seems fair.
Oops, experiencing a power outage AGAIN so trying to preserve how much the generator is handling. Need my "potty power" and heat more than laptop. Hopefully this is not a long one-though it's about the 3rd one since the big storm a couple of months ago. Peace Out ....💚 💙💛
