I am doing better. I've finished with PT, and altho I am not 100%, I never will be, so lowering the bar was a necessity.

I tire easily, but have learned to pace myself.

A major hurdle I need to overcome is managing my pain meds. Sometimes I forget to take them. Other times I can't remember if I've taken them. I've double dosed several times within the past month because I can't remember whether or not I've taken the meds, so I go ahead and take them again,,, only to end up in a hazy world,,, that's when I figure out I'd already taken the prescribed dosage.

A scratch pad on the counter is suppose to remind me to write it down when I take them. It usually works. Today I bought one of those thingys to put your weekly meds in to help better keep track of it all. Chronic Pain is the pits,,, but the alternative is worse.

Tell me what you've been up to,,, aside from the usual Christmas stuff.

The Key Word is 'Accommodation' to All Things..:)))

The thing about the medication boxes, neatly divided into 7 days, is the fact they have to be refilled about every 3 days, it seems! - endless rows of medications to keep us plodding along - how anyone makes it without the God we serve is beyond me.
(Plus, I have 6 injections of insulin every day and at least 4 finger sticks to see where I am to calculate how much.)

Okay - we're not ready to Exit Stage Left quite yet - have another few things to do, so we keep making those steps forward..:)))

Gee, I don't know how long it's been, and I don't even take meds, LOL. I officialy retired in June. Then took another church as a part-time pastor. Of course, there's no such thing as part-time pastoring, only part-time money. It does free me up some from the pressure of Conference directives and endless meetings. I just don't go any more. What are they going to do? Fire me? It gives me more time for pastoring and I enjoy it so much more. We did a great Christmas project. Recreated the Bethlehem Inn. Fed the "travelers" who came in and played out the Nativity story complete with singing angel on top of the stable. It was great.
