Grocery Store Accomplishment
I needed to go to the grocery store today. I typically do the shopping by myself – especially in the large grocery store – but I had a bit of a headache, so my mom offered to come with me. I accepted. She had made up a menu and we gave her the list of […]
Gift For Bravery
A friend’s little boy has had medical issues from the time he was born. At barely 2 years old, the poor little guy has had surgery on both of his club feet and is going through casting and braces on his legs. Most recently, his family discovered that when he was sleeping, there would be […]
Feeling Good at PT
I have been going to physical therapy for a few weeks now working on rehabbing a hip that I threw out doing Zumba. I am realizing that my body is not what it used to be. There has always been music playing in the background, but I have been so focused on what they are […]
Continued Progress
My mom and I went out shopping today. This does not happen very often and I was glad she was able to go. We got one of those motorized carts for her to drive around. It has been a few months since last time she used one, but she remembered how to work it. As […]
Recovering Chick
My sister and her husband have been spending extra time caring for one of their new chicks. When she arrived and was in the brooder with the rest, she was not eating or drinking and would cry and peep loudly when another chick would bump into her. So they put her in her own box […]
Reassurance
My parents and I spent the day at assorted doctor’s appointments today. My dad had a follow up with his primary care doctor after his hospitalization. Then both my mom and dad went to the cardiologist. My mom then went to pacemaker clinic to get her information from the last 3 months downloaded – which […]
Grateful Dad
I spent the day today “hovering” over my dad as I wouldn’t let him walk around at all without me beside him. The good news is that his world is no longer spinning. He felt somewhat dizzy and weak from too many days with no food. But I could even see improvement from morning to […]
Great Trust
Yesterday I went to a pool therapy session. One of the participants was a middle aged blind man. He was brought by his mother who helped him find the changing room and get all set. Then she helped him find his way around the pool to a chair to await the instructor. Once he was […]
Regaining Strength
After my mom had a stroke on Halloween, she made an incredible recovery. However, even though she appeared to be back to normal, she felt very weak. She had no energy, got short of breath very easily, and was fatigued after doing just a little. Her doctor sent her to physical therapy. She met with […]
Being a Blessing
My sister who broke her leg continues to recuperate even though she still has some bad days when she is in a lot of pain. Today she told me about a friend of hers who was hurt in a horseback riding accident. The woman suffered a broken leg very similar to my sister’s. They have […]
