Daily Success July 20 – Okay. And an “Okay” achieved only with 10 injury points.

Yesterday

Daily success yesterday was probably better than “Okay” as Jan and I had a good conversation on the path forward for GoVentures and how to handle monetizing the intellectual property that underlies the SurveyorBot and SAGEbot concepts. The next implementation phases, essentially strategy and business plan, will be a lot of work but can be done while we are in France.

Exercise and physical therapy were in the “just barely acceptable” range, but they made it. The things that were in the way included Cliff’s kaffeeklatsch at the Empress’ coffee shop and an early dinner with Bill and Paula at Cinco. Both were much needed socialization and very reasonable uses of my time.

The injury problem is twofold. My left knee is sore and stiff. This is far from good for a variety of reasons. Dr. Higgins’ magic knee injections are done in sets of five over a four-week period. We leave for France in two weeks and will be gone for more than three. Thus, if the needle is needed, it will have to wait, and limit a lot of forms of exercise, for at least five weeks.

There is also what has been diagnosed as “piriformis syndrome.” This makes walking more than a mile at a time very difficult. Is Dr. Sheikh’s ultrasound injection working? Perhaps a bit, but not anything close to being “fully back in action” so far. I visited Tara at Dr. Higgins’ office on Thursday. She did a full physical therapy evaluation and found nothing major but did suggest some new exercises using my inflated ball. I’ll start trying some of them today.

Today

Daily success today is simply dealing with the injuries and keeping my focus. Exercise what can be exercised and protect what must be protected. Work on “My Camino Day” for Zumaia in 2021 is well underway and might be finished today. Work on the strategic plans, ditto.

The Future

Daily success in the future is going to be heavily dependent on establishing achievable goals and workable strategies for the SurveyorBot and SAGEbot concepts. Being able to get going on that is really encouraging.
