Made It

🌻Well, hello everyone. I made it just fine yesterday being alone. I actually slept in really late. Well, really late for me. My body needed it. I had a hard time getting to sleep the night before. I have been still pretty uncomfortable today but not terrible.  Our daughter popped in for a few minutes on her lunch break. I was thankful because a package was delivered for our oldest son that I was unaware of and it was perishable. We had a heat advisory. There was no way I could get it in as it was over 10 pounds, and I can't bend down at the waist and lift anything yet. 



This spot at my kitchen counter is about the only other place I can sit beside my bed. The chair is the right height and firmness for me to get up from and sit down on. After my shower (it was adventurous) and my bowl of soup at 11 and medicine I started my Bible study. I am also working on our Ladies Newsletter for our church. Something new we are trying this year. We are bringing back some nostalgia of the good ole days. So far, the ladies love it including the young ladies as well. 



I came across this photo challenge for July on Pinterest. This is not my graphic or idea. I love the simplicity of it. I think it would be a nice thing that gives me a creative boost while I am not able to be very active and I will have a jumpstart for having something to share here on the blog. I can only talk about my recovery so much. :) 

If you would like to join in feel free to do so. I don't know if I will post daily or at the end of each week.



Again, another Pinterest graphic. I love this and thought I would share. It is fitting for me at this moment. 


Have a good day!

Love,

Chrissy T

I am glad yesterday went well. That was great your daughter popped around and helped get the package in.
The photo challenge looks like fun!

Hello dear Chrissy! I'm so glad all went well yesterday. I completely empathize with how frustrating this time is - when you're still healing and limited. But I promise you it will end before you know it and you will start feeling more like yourself. I'm terrible at being patient and I remember how incredibly frustrating it was to deal with the pain and the limitations. Holding you up in continued healing prayers and that the time will pass quickly and productively for you. I think it's wonderful you are focusing on creative things and of course strength from the Almighty is everything too. Blessings and hugs to you. 💗

Happy to hear that. Photo challenges are really wonderful when you need a little direction and they are fun. I have done that a few times. Short and long ones.

Heat advisory's are scarier than they sound. I work in home care for elderly and recovering patients. We don't often have extreme heat, but even warm days can become dangerous for some of the patients I help. Glad your daughter was able to help you.

Thank you so much, Carrie! Hugs.

I am looking forward to it. It will not be fancy photos for sure this time but still gives me something to do. ;)

We deal with extreme heat for months. It can be scary. I had a situation in 2017 and 2022 where I was at the threshold of a heat stroke. In 2017, it put me in the hospital for days. Not fun and very scary.

Thank you, Karen! You should.

Glad you had a good day. Here's to several more in a row. Steady progress each day! I like the photo challenge. I might join you (but can I keep it up until the end??) Whatever I might photograph on the first will be something melting!!

Chrissy T said...

Thank you!

Yes, it is so hot for sure.
