The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"
Finally got some sleep last night. Not enough to make up for all we lost the night before because of the medications they had given my husband for pre-op and the sheer mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion, but it was a good start.
Yesterday is behind us. It was a hard day for a lot of us, for a lot of reasons, but it ended well, and we don't have to do it again.
My daughter is acting better since she found out what she doesn't have. I know that she, along with everyone else, has been worried. We still don't know what is wrong or how that may look, but they started with the worst things first, and those are off the list now.
The doctor's assistant got all the medication problems cleared up. She called my husband's new medications to our local pharmacy as soon as surgery was over. Unfortunately, the hospital recovery team took the prescriptions to the in-house hospital, as the hospital instructs them to do. It got totally confusing and stressful to everyone with the insurance chiming in to say he had just had two medications that do the same thing as two of the new ones filled for 90 days on March 17, which was true, neither of which can be taken with the blood thinner prescribed, so they had to be changed. She saw the confusion on his chart and called him. Then she called everyone else and took care of everything, called us back to say go pick up your medications. Smooth and easy peasy.
Still enjoying all my flowers blooming at once. They are usually staggered over a couple of months, so I will have nothing but roses blooming when these are gone this year, but it sure is pretty now.
I just read about you and family coming home yesterday. I glad it's over for all of you. Positive news.
I glad you got some sleep. And that the medications concerns are all take care of. And you daughter doing better, and getting things crossed off the list of what it might be.
Enjoy those flowers!!!!
It's been a stressful time. Be extra kind to yourself.
1. Just got back from taking Ken to the clinic for a dr appointment and to get all his pre-op stuff done. So many steps-but none of them registered as I had Ken in our wheelchair and wasn’t moving my arm with each step! Gratitude is that we have it all done and are back home safely.
2. Time off work. I decided to take the whole day off even though I could have been back at work by 11:00. Grateful for paid time off.
3. A nice 4 days off with my guy! You know I love that!
4. The sun is out! It was overcast earlier but is turning into a much nicer day. 75 is the high today! Grateful for nice weather. In Minnesota where Adam lives they have snow forecasted all week!
5. Naps! You know I have one on my schedule for this afternoon! Love that!!
Have a great day my sweet sisters! Love you!
Cindy

you can get a lot of steps but they don't register so you don't know how many you got? Your body knows, though.
Is the op for Ken to get a stim?
I love how you love naps. I have never been a nap person, I can barely sleep at night, but other people's naps always sound so lovely to me.
