Daily Success February – Very Good. Teeth, meet skin, skin, meet teeth, but it’s legit. The Internet Monster more or less under control and whiskey not as bad as usual and “abracadabra!” just on the line.
Yesterday
Yesterday was good for exercise, but the big-time suck was medical: Eliana in the morning, Dr. Hoang in the afternoon, with miles between eating a take-out sub from Jersey Mike’s. All went well, as far as I know, and the last hurdles between me and surgery appear to be behind me.
The meeting with Eliana was wonderful. The physical therapy protocols that Dr. Higgins uses are not the draconian immobilization that showed up on the web. Out of the sling the next day, use lots of ice and prednisone for swelling, and be careful. Some positions are to be avoided, light forces only. No picking up a gallon of milk. I don’t drink milk anyway …
Some Sam had to intrude, naturally. But I’m becoming more and more hopeful that I may see a real recovery of my money and be able to inflict some damage along the way. Fingers are crossed all the way to my shoulder joints.
Today
Today is Nabila as the first item. Monika at 12:45. Poli-Sci, of course, to keep getting ahead. And some work on my YouTube channel and this website. Part of that over the next few weeks will be reading my journals aloud and letting Microsoft Word transcribe them. That will help a lot.
The Future
We leave for Bethany about noon tomorrow, home sometime Sunday afternoon. Then Tuesday will be upon me with arrival at the Surgery Center for preparation at 7:30 AM Tuesday. Beyond that, no idea.
