Cried "Uncle"

Am I a little better today? No. Am I still optimistic? Yes. Actually things took quite a turn and I am now having difficulties and pain in the right hip and leg but mild compared to the left. So, I prayed about it, read about it, talked about it. I called the doctor's office and told them I was crying "Uncle" and my improvement was only slight. I expect to hear from the scheduling dept at the hospital Monday to set a day/time for an MRI. Obviously, it has been too long and we need to explore the cause and remedy. I was so sure it would get better a little every day. But....

I want to keep working, I need to and whatever it takes is what I must do. Having the family here has me even more anxious to feel better. I don't want to be just an observer but a participant.

I don't want to ramble. It's been pretty quiet around here the last couple of days. Shock. Everyone has had something to do somewhere. I'll be glad for tomorrow when everyone has the day off and the noise of life picks up again.

Better News

I spent the last couple of days watching tv in the jammies and walking as little as possible. This morning I awoke immediately aware that the leg was a little less painful and I could put more pressure on my foot. I babied it all day, walking in small steps with barely lifting my leg and by tonight it seems even a little more better. Gees, this is good news!

Knock! Knock! on wood, don't let me jinx it. If I continue on this path I may be able to get back to work in a week or  so  and bypass the MRI; no postpone the MRI. I am positive there is trouble there but if I can just heal and get through a couple of months of work... at least til Christmas or even Black Friday I won't feel so bad to take off for the MRI and whatever needs to be done. Thanks for the happy thoughts, I think they are working but it is slow.

We began putting a few Halloween decorations out front this afternoon and will add more through out the next few days. Melanie lives for Halloween; Bob lives for Christmas. They both share the love for decorating and getting the kids in the fun of the holidays. I have already felt an excitement for it all that I have for some time. I love my family.
