Still having up and down days- but I try to tell myself that is a normal part of life. As time marches on, I get more anxious about healing more and more. I cannot believe that school starts again next week! Natasha is going into Grade 8. I feel so old and yet too young at the same time, if that makes any sense. I remember Grade 8 so clearly that ( Read more... )

Man I am such a cranky pants. Or is that my pants are cranky ( Read more... )

OK. Following the wisdom of Ms. Eme Kah, I am going to cut back on whining and complaining. I can air my problem/issue and seek advice/support but then I have to take action/not take action and drop it. I think that whining and complaining may allow me to become stuck in one place - not moving forward. I risk missing the good things that are ( Read more... )

So, I am working on relaxation and I'm supposed to draw up a daily schedule for myself. i have kind of a loose one that I work from right now. If I have a morning appointment, I try to get 3 sets of exercises in before 5 pm. If I have an afternoon appointment, i do two sets of exercise and then do the last one when I get home.

I drove today for the first time since November 17. I haven't been able to drive until now because I couldn't bend my left knee enough to get the seat close enough to the pedals.

My husband just called to wish me Happy 3rd Anniversary of our first date. That's why I love him. He remembers things like when we had our first date.

Keith has been away this week. I was so freaked out by this that I couldn't fall asleep on Sunday night. Utter panic is how I would describe my feeling. I don't feel like I can look after anything properly right now. Its taken all my concentration to fill out the various forms, statements for the different insurers, for my own records. I'm just ( Read more... )

Ok. I remembered to take my temperature again today. I am so out of the habit of temperature taking! But, I just love Fertility Friend. I have learned so much about charting on that site and have "met" some wonderfully supportive women. I spent a lot of time reading the boards there this morning and trying to catch up in my buddy groups ( Read more... )

I woke up at about 4;40 am. Keith had set the alarm for that time. He got up and I heard him talking with Natasha. Just vague voices upstairs. My back was aching and so were my hips and my left ankle. I adjusted my ice and turned my heating pad on. Fell back asleep ( Read more... )

ack! Yes, I have been watching election results. OK. Time for a rum and coke.
