October 20 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today was a long difficult day. Difficult because I had to wear both shoes most of the day and my back is paying the price, so I'm getting off the computer and going back to the heating pad when I post this. I'm thankful for my son taking me to my audiology appointment. They initially told me it was in the main hospital. When I got there, they told me it was in another building around the back of the hospital. I wasn't late. In fact, I was early. I got the time wrong by half an hour. The hearing test went well. I'll have hearing aids by Thanksgiving. For me this year has been good. By Christmas, I'll be able to see well, hear well, and walk well. Can life get better than that? I'm thankful for my friend who took me to my infusion. My son was very tired from working all night and wanted to get some sleep on his day off before his girlfriend showed up. The infusion went well but took longer than I expected. I'm on the fast track with it, so I'll be finished with it in half an hour in about a year's time. They did an hour observation when finished. Okay, that's my day. I need to get my back on the heating pad and massage pad. I didn't ice my knee today, no time. Maybe I can get it done tomorrow. I have two appointments tomorrow too. One in the morning, one mid-afternoon. I hope my son can sleep between the two. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Winter is coming. It came close today. I'm hoping this will be the scene out my window soon.

I am sure it was hard for you to wear your shoes all the day, at least you are going to have your hearing aids before the end of November.

@just4him I remember that my mother had them but she disliked them so much, she only wore when she met us to follow what we said.

@LadyDuck I'm sorry she didn't like them. I hope I won't feel the same about them.

Yes, it was very hard to wear them almost all day. Today my back is much better for which I'm thankful. Yes, I'm looking forward to having them before the end of November.

Yes, I will. I will be able to see all those jumps the Ice Princess makes at the Olympics. I'll be able to do those bleachers at the Olympics with ease, and I'll be able to hear everything at the Olympics. Nothing will be better than that.

Sounds like a busy couple days there with all the appointments. Glad the hearing one went well and you'll be able to hear, see, and walk well by Christmas.

@MommyOfEli2013 I know and I'm almost beating myself up over that fact. I planned to have Vendetta finished by the end of the year, but haven't been able to work on it with the surgery and therapy. I've done what I could, but not enough.

I am very happy that according to your projections you will be fully healthy by December. I am sure you'll be recovered from your knees. I am thankful for being healthy, having a new job that I am getting used to, and last for not least for not giving up even when I feel that I am rocking bottom.

I hope by now the heating pad has worked and that your back is feeling better. That's a pretty tree.
