This morning I had breakfast with my accountability group so from a little after 0800 until about 1045 I was out of the house and felt pretty good. I got there a little early so I walked for fifteen minutes or so and it felt good.
Kathleen had her physical therapy appointment at 1300 today so while she was getting dressed I made myself something to eat before we left. She was very emotional today, crying for no apparent reason and not able to control it. She also was not feeling well, her stomach hurt and so did her head. The arm almost always hurts, so I do not even count that.
When we got to physical therapy she started to cry, and they asked her if she just wanted to forget therapy today and go home. She needed to have her range of motion checked today so they had to do that so that they could send it to the doctor for her appointment Tuesday.
I suggested that perhaps the therapy might be beneficial to her and that since she had to do the most unpleasant part anyway she might as well do the exercising. She did and while she did not feel better, she did not feel any worse.
Kathleen asked if we could stop at Target and get a mango smoothie, since we had not done that in a while I decided to stop there, besides we needed to stop at Safeway and get some of her special coffee and they were in the same strip mall.
Fewer and fewer places are carrying the coffee that she likes so we have to keep on finding new places. Last week I checked on line to find out who was still carrying it and it looks like Safeway and Albertson are the only two close by that are carrying it now.
Well we finally made it home about 1645. I had planned to mow the front lawn today, but I was really tired. After I changed my clothes and sat for fifteen minutes or so I decided, I better get up and get outside as no one else was going to mow it for me.
I even parked the Wrangler in the driveway this morning when I got back from breakfast, so I did not have that as an excuse for not mowing it.
I even mowed it twice, once to rake the leaves and then I dropped the height and mowed it again to cut the grass.
After cleaning up and sitting for another half hour, I decided to make dinner. I made ravioli, and corn on the cob. It only took about fifteen minutes total...about five minutes quicker than Alyssa's Blackened Tilapia Sautéed Zucchini and Onions Dot Noodles, which took her 20 minutes. It probably was not as taste though.
After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen, did the hand wash dishes, finished loading up the dishwasher, and turned it on.
Well, that was my day, I am tired now and I think that I will head for bed...good night!

I just got in around 12:15 am. I was at an all night scrapbooking crop at a store in Gresham. Got some pages completed from when Dan sided the Troutdale house. I sit here now tired as can be, but it sounds like your day was more tiring. Is mom doing okay? Sounds like a rough day. I worry about her taking all the meds. I know she needs the pain meds, but are they interfering with the other stuff she is on? Hopefully this will be better soon. How long before she isn't in so much pain?
Hang in there...are you taking care of yourself? I don't want you to get burnt out too! Let us know if you need anything...don't feel like it's a burden. We'd be glad to help.
