I struggle to keep track of the days of the week during a normal week. Throw in a holiday Monday and I am screwed! Hopefully I will remember tomorrow is Tuesday and not Monday and can remind Kathy of her dental appointment in the afternoon.
This has been another quiet day at home. Day six of my time-out. I didn’t sleep well last night and felt off this morning but finally feel better this evening. I haven’t had to take an afternoon blood pressure pill as my blood pressure is 108/52 this evening. Maybe things are balancing out.
I need to go visit the Detention Center tomorrow. I missed going last week and need to touch base and see if they have any needs. I have some cash I need to take to the post office and get them some stamps. After that visit I will do an update to the Love in Action Facebook page and post it in several different sites.
Wednesday a friend is hosting a happy hour in Council Grove. I will stop at the grocery store in Council Grove afterwards and pick up some groceries.
Thursday I have a dental appointment at the Vo-Tech at 12:30. Trusting that the girl that is cleaning my teeth is good and fast. I dislike when one appointment turns into two. My teeth are in bad shape so it is possible she won’t get done.
No other plans for the week. I do want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Beginning to think my problems are more gut related than heart related. I don’t expect to get in very quickly but I want to get on someone’s booking. I really need to find a new family doctor that is a bit more curious than the one I am seeing now. He goes through the motions but I don’t think he is very thorough or detailed.
Trusting the results of the heart stress test will be back this week. One would think they would get those results turned around rather quickly given the nature of what they are testing. Sometimes I think our medical system is very broken and logic doesn’t come into play.
It is time for me to rejoin the outer world. This respite has been good for my soul but it is hard to be in service to the world when I am in time-out. I need to get over myself and get on with my life. I do appreciate the short bursts of time when I feel almost normal again. Mabye if I get out and rejoin the world I will have more of them.
Grateful for the privilege of having a six day respite, grateful for feeling better each day, and grateful my iPad tells me what day of the week it is.
