Ankles


I have to admit, I've taken my body for granted.  I'm 56 years old and have never really broke any bones or injured myself doing activities and sports.  I have always been active...until I couldn't be any longer. So I had surgery to fix the problem that was causing me pain.  The surgery was much harder than I thought it would be and recovery is lasting over a year.

I really don't like it when my ankles causes me pain.  l feel like I take one step forward and two steps back with recovery from the two surgeries I had in 2016.  It's been over a year since my tendon repair. I have to say, I have had one totally pain free day!   So what did I do, I walked my dog at the park.  We were only out about 30 minutes.   Still feeling good.

Then I wake up this morning to pain!!!  UGH!!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
