Day 1316
Afternoon check in
I called off work for today as I didnt sleep well last night. I ended up getting into an argument with the nursing scheduler late last night. She called me at 1045pm (while I was already half asleep), to argue with me why the buddy shift for tonight didnt happen. Apparently a 2nd nurse was supposed to train last night (which I knew anything about). No one communicated this with me. I argued with her on the phone (looking back, i wish i handled myself better). Then my husband called her back after I hung up and he handled the situation much better. Not only that but the 2nd nurse showed up, didnt have the buzz code, no way to contact me via phone, and she climbed 15 flights of stairs to get out apartment. We had to send her home for various reasons. Mainly bcuz this wasnt communicated to us and so we were unprepared for her.
Anyway, im home today. I slept in until 1030. Hubby made me a beautiful breakfast. And im just puttering around cleaning and spending time with the family. My son is a little sick. Doesnt seem serious but hes a little unwell. Might keep him home tmrw.
Checking in day 1. Kept busy with cooking (a sausage and potato stew), laundry and other household tasks before going back to work tomorrow. Watched football with my Dad. Pulled a muscle in my back (no idea how - I guess I’m just of that age now ) so no exercise bike or weight lifting today. Plenty of time for that though. For now I’m just content with not drinking. Even if that’s all I achieve, for now that’s everything.
Almost to a year of taking your life back! That’s is awesome! Stay strong! Days are getting shorter it is that time of year to get a little extra rest.
Congratulations on the 600 days and counting, friend! Not to mention getting the restorative sleep. I picked you a bouquet! Enjoy in good health! @Juli1
Car-free Sunday in Brussels and visits to Art Deco architectural heritage sites, followed by a Korean restaurant with my godson. The buckwheat tea was delicious!
With Jesus, things become more easier. With Jesus the end results sometimes end better than you could have imagined. So, its not necessarily in your lack, but in His greatness.
Been getting out for a few small walks the past few days which has been great. 11 days post surgery and I know as an active person, I’m going to struggle being so limited in what I can do over coming months but I just need to learn/understand that it’s just all part of the process.
