Went out and tried mowing for just a little bit. It is too bouncy and it bothered my neck so didn’t get much done. I got the path down to the chickens mowed at least.
I didn’t get much sleep again last night. I sure hope my family doctor will give me something to help me sleep when I see him Tuesday. I have to think I would heal better if I could sleep.
Tried to do some knitting this morning but my yarn wasn’t playing nice and I gave up. I am almost done with the fifth of six panels and was hoping to finish this blanket today. Maybe after a time out the yarn will play nice and I can finish it.
My incision site looks better again today. It is less tender than it has been. I get the small dressing removed Tuesday morning.
What an absolutely beautiful day on the prairie today. Mid 70’s with just a slight breeze. May take a walk later after I finish icing my neck from my mowing attempt. It is way too nice outside to stay inside today. I would like to weed my flower beds but not sure I can do it without irritating my neck. My neck is starting to irritate me!
Did some research on the incidental cancer they found in my thyroid. From everything I have read no further treatment should be required. However they didn’t tell me the type of cancer it was and there is one kind that they get a bit more aggressive with treating it but that kind is the rarest one. Best way to discover you had cancer – after it is already gone!
Feeling good enough to want to do something today but having trouble finding something to do that doesn’t irritate my neck. Maybe I will be able to take a nap and help the afternoon pass quickly by sleeping. I’m a bit cranky today. I don’t do well sitting so much and am feeling a bit anxious today. I haven’t been out of the house since Thursday morning. Going a little stir crazy I think.
Nicole comes home Tuesday night. The high for Tuesday in Kansas is going to be in the 50’s with a chance of frost. It was over 100 where Nicole is yesterday. She might be in for a rude awakening when she gets home. Not sure I am ready for winter like temperatures. I love days like today much better.
Sounds like the Festival at Pioneer Bluffs was a lot of fun yesterday. Bummed that I had to miss it. Someone paid $20 for the four dozen eggs I donated. Glad they sold. Didn’t hear how much the jam and jellies I sent for the silent auction brought. Hoping I will feel good enough to go to the Board meeting this coming Thursday. I sure haven’t held up my end of the responsibilities of a board member lately.
The library book sale is going on for those of you close to Emporia. I’m going to go on Tuesday as I have to go to town that day for two different doctor appointments and have three hours to kill between appointments. I’m hoping it is sack day so I can get several sacks full of books to tide me over for the winter. I only have three books left from the last book sale when I bought several sacks full.
May take a book out and read on the deck. My neck isn’t so stiff and I can line up my bifocals better. It is way too nice to be inside today.
Cranky. Healing. Practicing patience and self-care – even though I don’t like it. All is well on the beautiful prairie today.
