Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success May 17 – Failed. Lots of possible excuses, but “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” I did not work at it hard enough.

Yesterday

Yesterday seems fuzzy in memory, only 24 hours later. It was fuzzy then as well. The vertigo, while not as extreme as that on Wednesday, was still very present. My digestive tract, while not in outright rebellion, wanted to make the point that it was unhappy with something. Something was probably the combination of hydrocodone and laxative. My right shoulder made the point, repeatedly, that it should not have been asked to take on the full responsibility for breaking my vertigo induced fall. Not to be outdone, my piriformis problems made their case for supremacy early and often as my travel around the neighborhood was all by foot due to vertigo worries.

Lovely. Just lovely.

Today

Today has both Monika and physical therapy at Dr. Higgins’ office on the agenda. There is my first post for my UMGC Poli-Sci course. And exercise, of course.
It was my choice to accept this set of challenges. Now it is up to me to make good on them. Effort. Lots of effort. “Wishin’ and hopein’” won’t get the job done.

The Future

Fuzzy yesterday. Fuzzy today for all the same reasons.
