Gentle posts for gentle folks

That picture is stupendous!!!
I've been staring at it for 8 minutes.
That's when you posted it. @RadishRose

I'm also very glad that you were able to touch base with us.

My p.t......
it's the best and most helpful thing in my life right now. 🤩

Everything else is very stressful. Therefore, I'm Not sleeping or eating well enough because of that.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my main doctor. I hope she can advise me well. I hope I will manage to get to her office.

I bought a few things for myself this week. That is rare for me. I bought a pair of sneaker type shoes. I needed them badly and I'm glad I did it for myself.
I even bought new socks to go with them. Much needed as well but amazing that I bought them. For myself.
I amazed myself. 😊🤭

I can stand now. I can weightbear. I can walk.
Therefore I needed shoes.☺️

I wish I had family and/or friends to celebrate that with me. (And holidays)
Husband is OK but consumed with other stuff.

This week, I also bought some therapy wrap bandages that the p.t. recommended.
It's amazing that they do help my pains.

I also bought a therapy ball.
I'm reteaching my brain. I pass it back and forth between my hands. I bounce it on the floor and try to catch it. I roll it across my back. And around my hips.
I'm very happy to have these therapies.
 

PTs have helped me many times. I’m so glad yours is helping you too. And you too, Rose. I was going to ask if you were out of rehab. Sorry to hear you’re not yet.

Kaila, you’ll look spiffy in your new shoes and socks. Next thing you know you’ll be out dancing.
 
Good morning K-posse! A bright sunshiny day here. I hope all of you are having enjoyable weather. While rain isn't fun to traverse, water falling from the sky has a beauty of its own, and is soul-soothing to watch.

Dear @Kaila and @RadishRose, I hope your health steadily improves. God bless PTs, OTs and the many gizmos they can prescribe to help restore our physical abilities.

Kaila, it sounds like you're improving with your therapy and good that you bought yourself some comfortable shoes and socks to make walking a bit more enjoyable. Sorry you've been stressed, but you've been going through a lot for a long time. Wishing you feel better and get stronger every day, it's a lot of work to achieve that, but well worth it. Take care, regards to hubby. 🧡

Thank you.
Yes, it amazed me how much the p.t.s and the o.t.s do.
I knew I wanted more help and needed a treatment plan, even before I was in the hospital, and was going very downhill.

It took getting so much worse, to get one.
Oh yeah, and my persistence.😁

And oh yeah, a PCP who will respond to patients.
I've only met my new one once, and her NP once and I was not overly impressed.
But that Dr ordered the PT.
🥳👍

Editing to add this postscript.:
I love that picture of rain in the dark!

I'm glad that you stopped by here to read that particular update of mine. I don't often include specifics like those in my posts. ☺️
I think of you very often as well!🥰

And hi, everyone! 👋 This has been a very hectic week for me so far, so I've been scarce. Glad to see that everyone seems to be doing well with things... especially with p.t. for @Kaila and rehab for @RadishRose .

I looked at your post and saw those hands (yes I thought there were 2🤣)
And I thought it was clapping.

I tried to figure out what we were applauding, so I could join in, till I realized it's a waving hi.

😁😂😅
👋

I think you meant your post for somebody else,🤔

But if it's for me thank you. ☺️

And in any case, I wish you well.🙂
 
Good morning, to all of you, who read this.
🥰

I'm trying to do my morning needs now, one at a time, and thinking of each of you.

It's a beautiful day, outside, and I hope to get dressed and go outdoors, and drive the very short distance to the pharmacy for 2 scripts.

First before that , comes finishing the plain egg salad,I made for myself, and the rest of my coffee. I put honey in it today to soothe my throat. It's delicious that way too.🤩

Tomorrow morning is p.t.☺️

@RadishRose
I hope there's something good for you to eat or drink, today,
And a window for you to look out.
🥰
 
Happy Wednesday-Hump-Day, K-posse!

I never fully appreciated the rain until I moved to an area where it's relatively scarce, and thunderstorms only show up once every few years. Watching rain brings me the same kind of inner peace that I get from sitting on a beach and watching the waves roll in.

I've been worrying over our sweet @RadishRose, too. Please let us know how you are, RR.

This morning, I offer this photo of ocean waves in hopes that it will bring a smile. May you all enjoy a calm, productive day.

Midafternoon here now.
It's Great to see the posts, above.

I was not able to complete my morning basics as I'd hoped, or to get outdoors on this beautiful day , or to the pharmacy, today. Even after I gave in to a morning nap, i still had to cancel those plans.

My stamina levels and strength, and balance, continue to be low and not consistent or reliable.
It still is a challenge for me to stand up and take steps.

However it's still worth celebration, that I can stand and weight bear and walk at all.

I couldn't do any of those, for even a minute, as recently as December.

And I also hadn't been able to drive for years.

Obviously even now, that is only on my best moments, and I'm not planning any road trips even though I'd love to meet up with all of you. 😊🥰☺️🥰🤩🥰
 
Hey there ladies and gents! It's always great to come here and see how your days are going.
No worries, Kaila... if we plan a K-Posse road trip, 🚗 we'll come to you. Stir up such a fuss that your hubby will be yelling to get all these people out of there. 😁
