Just another day in the life

01-21-25 a tough day

January 21, 2025


I didn’t sleep well and finally got up and ran a tub around 6. It was nice to take the air-cast off and have a more normal bath although I didn’t soak that leg. I can’t believe the muscle loss already. Of course the left is bulking up so it looks even more.

I have a deep sad settling in. It was a single focus kind of day. Rae dropped me off, Ashley took good care of me and I made a point to help her with her books between others. She dropped me off at Key City in time for the 4:30 EdFest meeting where I had the idea that I present to Rotary and ask for $ and volunteers.

The meeting was followed immediately by the Volunteer Appreciation party. The pesto chicken was supplied by HeidOut and everyone brought potluck sides and dessert. I enjoyed the people I sat near and was happy when Judy agreed to be the volunteer coordinator for Summer Sounds.

I was sitting up front and was happy to find out that Tyrel Hawke was the entertainment. He played piano and sang for an hour. As he was finishing Roger and Rae arrived to pick me up. When I got up to go Tyrel said he’d been waiting all night to say ‘and now she’s gotta scoot’. As I cruised out the group still sitting at the table let out a chorus of ‘weeeeeeeee’

I got in the house just in time to pee but was disgusted by the dried pee all over the seat. It’s a boy house and it wasn’t the first time, but apparently it was the straw that broke this camel’s back. I had strong pain in my leg off and on all day. My tolerance ran out and I lay on the bed and sobbed for half an hour before finally getting dressed for bed and going out to sit in the big chair. I was pleased to see that Ash had left me a bowl of popcorn. I texted her to come and take a good look at my leg to see if there were any signs of distress. There were none and I just took some Advil and am letting it rest for a bit while watching Ginny & Georgia.

I need this day to be over
