APRIL IS HERE

One of my favorite months. My birth month, too, but April showers bring May flowers, and

It’s a beautiful, if chilly, sunshiny day. I have my last (I think) OT today. Done with health aide, done with PT, done with nurse. Still get tired, still get a bit out of breath here and there, still with the pain, which is the one constant in my life. There is always pain. But things are looking up, I found a new bowl which is better than the old bowl that disappeared. How do things just vanish? Glass bowls are great for zapping things, like party mix, or for making four bean salad in, and a lot of other uses where I just prefer glass. I had that other bowl for decades, literally, and was really upset when I realized it no longer lived here. Did it run away from home? Little stick with hanky with it’s meager possessions in it over it’s shoulder.

That’s the new bowl. No picture of the old bowl. Oh, just had OT. She recommended I ask my Primary Care about seeing an orthopedist. More fun in store for Jean. Yay. But my arms don’t work well, and it’s the PMR or it’s some kind of impingement or it’s any number of things that could be wrong. One thing about having more that one issue is that you can never really be sure exactly which one is causing the particular problem. Okay. Done for now. Trying to post more. I was not in great shape for a while there and did not have much to say except ‘I am so over pain and fatigue and all this crap.’ Better now.
