Lots Going On

 We have had lots going on in the last while. Always seems to be something on the go or on the ‘list’ to get done. 

The most concerning is the health issues with both Don’s and my mom. My mom’s health has been a steady decline over the last several years, but without her being able to communicate anything it is up to me to be her advocate. That is hard as well with me being not so close to her care facility. A few issues came up today that I will bring up with the care facility tomorrow (nobody there to talk to today). It is in these areas - hospitals/care facilities and even finding a doctor that our health care system has some serious issues. All I hear is we’re short staffed today, we don’t have time to check in more than twice a day. This has serious affects for one who does not move or able to get out of bed. It is sad, and even sadder for those with no family around to be their voice. 

I didn’t mean to get on a rant today, I apologize. 

I have tweaked my knee in the last week or so and am having sharp pains again, and the feeling of my knee giving out. I am trying to scale back a bit on aggravating it and we’ll see how it goes. If it’s not any better by the time I get back from vacation, I will schedule an appointment with my specialist/surgeon to make sure I haven’t torn it again. 

The hardest thing for me in recovering after injury and surgery has been how far to push. I very much want to progress, and not stay stagnant, but there is always the worry of injuring again, and the big setbacks. I’ve yet to figure out the happy medium. 

This is where I am at at the moment, and in a place of flux it seems. Mom has settled down now and is resting peacefully, so off to grocery shop for my mom in law. 

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all get some special family time in 💜
