Rain rain go away, come again another day. We got 5 – 6 inches of rain overnight and today. The ground was already saturated from the rain last week. Ground water everywhere.
I have a doctor’s appointment in Emporia in the morning at 10:30. I decided I better get to Emporia tonight so I know I can make it in. The road from Cottonwood Falls to Strong City may flood by morning and the road from Matfield Green to Cassoday which is the long ways around is already flooded shut.
I am staying at a hotel in Emporia tonight. I may or may not be able to get home tomorrow night. We shall see what happens. I have a thing in the afternoon to go to with Jason so won’t attempt it until late afternoon. I can always stay a second night in Emporia if need be.
When I got ready to pack it was easy as I did laundry today and hadn’t folded and put away my clothes yet. I folded my clothes from the laundry and put them in a bag to bring to town. Kathy got to stay home with the critters and take care of them.
I had dinner with Jason since I was in town. I invited Michelle, Tagen and Ellexia but none of them got back to me. It was nice to have good conversation with Jason tonight. He has a full plate of life right now and I think it was good for him to be able to vent a bit. Life is certainly easier when we share it with those we love.
I hope to find out tomorrow if I have a prolapse and what the treatment plan for it will be. I could be wrong and it could be something else although I doubt it. I have several things I need to schedule but needed to wait to see if I have to have surgery to fix the prolapse and if so when it might be. They may have to try some other solutions before insurance will approve a surgery.
My left knee is a bit swollen below the knee joint and towards the inside of the leg. Kathy has a red light therapy thingy that I used on it this afternoon. I am also taking lots of ibuprofen. Hoping it is better tomorrow. If not, I may go to Urgent care once I am done at my doctor’s appointment. Not sure what I did to it to make it sore and not sure why it is swollen. It usually only hurts when I walk on it, although last night it hurt during the night. Man, getting old is hard sometimes. My body is acting up lately.
Once I get back home I don’t have any other appointments on my calendar until June 14. Kathy, Michelle and I are going to KC on the 14th to go to the Royals game and watch my son-in-love throw out the first pitch. It will be delightful to have a full week plus of empty space days. I bet some of them fill up sooner rather than later but we shall see what happens.
Still sitting in that in-between space but it doesn’t feel so heavy tonight. Maybe I am getting used to it? Still find myself searching for solid ground under me and have to remind myself it doesn’t exist. I learned on the Camino to take one step at a time and when I could stay out of anticipation I had a better day. Right here, right now, all is well.
Grateful for hotels in Emporia, grateful for dinner with Jason tonight, and grateful the rain is stopping and the sun is to shine tomorrow.
