All you can do, @Kaila .. is whatever you can, each day. You will eventually regain your strength. So pleased that your PT is progressing.

Yesterday, we took one of our country-drives. It's so good to see animals in the pastures - horses, sheep, goats, etc. Being dog-lovers, we keep an eye out for them as well.

Some flowers to cheer you ..

Thank you so much, for the kindness, and for holding on to the hope that I will gain increasing strength and balance and stamina, over time.

It's great that you can see those farm animals.
Do any of the dogs that you see, do jobs with the animals?

Good morning, everyone... and welcome to May! Were you able to get that restful sleep, Kaila? You're right... sometimes we simply need to accept that the stamina isn't there at the moment... that's a wise choice to realize it and be kind to yourself.

Thank you, Kate. I got some sleep but definitely not enough. I hope for more tonight. 🥰

The dogs we see, are dogs being walked in city neighbourhoods.
Sometimes, though rarely, we get to pet someone's dog.
Fortunately, we are able to see our daughter's Corgi .. sweet little Abbi.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌻

@Kaila, I hope your husband's visit goes well today and his alternative ride works out smoothly. It seems a good idea that you are trying to save some personal resources for your visit tomorrow.

I have a sticky note on my fridge that reads, "If you always do what you can, you'll get there."

@Pam, I hope you managed to save some of your bulbs and you get pretty tulips for your efforts.

Thank you, as well. ☺️🤩
Ive been repeating your sticky note reminder to myself, today. 😄

His medical visit was difficult today but his ride went very well, and he's recovering well, this evening. Thank you for asking. 🙂

Yes I truly needed to save some reserves, in order to try to get to my own appointment tomorrow!

Thank you so much for that thoughtful encouragement.
I was not ever one to put myself first, until December, when I became completely unable to help myself or him.

It's been a very slow rebuild since then, which cannot succeed if I burn the candle at both ends. I finally learned that lesson, one that did not come easy or natural for me.

True enough, if you burn the candle at both ends, you truly can’t help anyone. It IS a hard lesson to learn if you’ve always put another person ahead of you. It’s good that you learned that lessons Kaila. Many people don’t, only to discover they can’t do anything for anyone, including themselves.
Pacing yourself IS a challenge in itself but one we ALL should learn.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: ❤️

Today I am a little less dizzy than yesterday. I'll take it. I think the vitamins (I'm not sure) and the walking (to exercise my vestibular system) might be helping.

@Kaila, good thoughts for your medical appointment today.

Hoping everyone wakes feeling hale and hearty this morning. :)

I loved the early morning caring posts, here.
I needed to wash dishes this morning that just didn't wash themselves, last night or overnight 🙄
so coffee and breakfast can happen now.
Then getting ready to go out to my appointment.

I wanted to say good morning to all of you!

would this help you @Medusa ? A friend had this and the exercises worked! 🌹

Happy Saturday, Kaila & Friends! I have a busy day-out planned... but how much of it will actually get done depends on whether or not the rain that's in the forecast holds off long enough. Any big plans for the rest of you today? Or will it be a peaceful and relaxing Saturday for you?

Woke up at 4:00 a.m. Just waiting for my eggs to boil for breakfast.

Today is daughter's birthday. She is out of town, so, we'll celebrate once she's back.

Must do a run to Costco later on, even though it will be crowded.

Have a good day, Kaila, and everyone :)

Hello to you, dear Kate, on Saturday morning,
And to every one of the rest of our friends who stop by here, as well!🤩🥰☺️

After yesterday morning's medical Dr appointment, I was thoroughly wiped out for the rest of the day and the evening too,
But I did get some sleep overnight. And have a little energy.

I'm having coffee and oatmeal, and trying to get myself and husband also, out the door, to try to do an errand.

Hardware store hopefully, and fish market hopefully,....
both of them have small parking lot close to their door, that we might manage,
And they are close to each other,
And both important;

But it will be enough of an accomplishment if it's only a ride that we can both manage.

We'll see what we can do.

Our daffodils and tulips are amazing. Full bloom right now.

Thinking of you, @RadishRose

Thank you, @RadishRose. Yes, I do try the exercises when I'm having a flare and was seeing a Physical Therapist for a while when it was bad. She taught me some exercises as well.

I'm taking Vitamin Supplements, as lack of Vitamin D can be a problem, apparently, and mine has been low.

Thankfully, I'm coming out of this one and it is almost gone. Yay!

Thanks again; that was really kind of you. ❤️

Walked to nearby Aldi for a couple of things early morning. Then I put a bit of washing on before settling down to watch the next round of snooker so not a lot is getting done today. In fact, not a lot will be done until after the snooker finishes on Monday. So in answer to your question.. a peaceful and relaxing Saturday for me. :)
