January 4/2017

I am really doing a lot these days.  Today I even drove the car. By myself. Yup I sure did. I went to St Albert to a meeting with Mac. I did really good, with these arms. I just had to turn corners with the bottom part of the steering wheel. Funny how you learn to adjust when you have too. But I am back behind the wheel. Moving on up. 

I made two New Years resolution this year. One out of need the other because I thought I should.  So I decided to stop saying the “F”word it really is a nasty word and I don’t like saying it. The other is to stop saying hate. I use it so much. But I really don’t hate,it was just my word for everything. It is not as bad as the “F” word but it really gives such a negative feeling to everything that you use it for. So if you catch me saying these words. You have my permission to remind me of my resolution. I really am going to use more positive words.  I think I need to be positive in everything I do, it will be good for me and everyone around me in these next few months. 

I got a present today. Something so beautiful I was so excited to receive it. My friend Norma gave it to me.  It is a beautiful shall made by the ladies from the Untied Church it is for people who are going through a tough time, in life, or in health, or in whatever. It has been blessed by the church and goes through the congregation so everyone can say something over it. This shall will be for comfort to whoever receives it. I am sitting here tonight wrapped in it doing my blog.  It is so beautiful, and I feel very blessed to receive one.  So to whom ever made it I am very greatfull and to my friend Norma thanks for think of me I really do love it. 

Jamie and I went to town tonight to drop his truck off for some servicing before he goes to work. Then we went out for supper with some friends. I really am stepping out a lot these days. But by tonight I am hurting a lot. I think just from walking and using all these muscles even to ride around in the truck. Man does the Gibbons highway ever have a lot of bumps if you are hurting and don’t want to hit any, you hit them all. Maybe next time I will count the bumps ( there is me counting again Cathy and lynne lol). If I could get the evening pain under control I would say I pretty much have a good hold on this, but my evenings are torture. I spoke with my nurse navigator she says it is normal. Jamie has been giving me back rubs at night it helps but not a cure. He is trying ❤️

Another day under my belt, no word from my doctor on pathology I hope it comes soon but I don’t want to rush to the next step. Pretty sure it’s not going to be much fun. But just another step in my journey to good health. 

Saw this little saying today thought I would share. “”You have no idea how far out of my comfort zone my entire life is right now”” this is so true for me. 🙃😶
