Therapy
I should mention that I tend to see things in black and white, I constantly have to be reminded that nothing is that simple. I was back at therapy with Katy. I told her about the trip and seeing Sister Marion, (1/4/26 post, “Back in VA”). About my hatred for the president and what she…

Another Bargain
While in NY we went to Home Depot. Pete went wherever. I saw they had 75% off all Christmas stuff. Not much left but I found these. 59.98 marked down to 14.92! There were only two and I bought both of them.

New York for Christmas

Feeling Terrible
It’s almost a month and I’m not better. It’s depressing. I’m very tired, I can sleep all day. I have been taking afternoon naps. I don’t want to spend afternoons sleeping. My legs are not back. I’m easily winded. I’m having pain in my right hip. I had a follow-up doctor’s appointment yesterday but she…

Monthly Weigh In Dec. 2025
I had no expectations, didn’t care too much. Surprise, 104.4. Encouraging, but honestly I haven’t had much of an appetite. When asked at the doctor’s office I said I was 153. That describes me as overweight. Discouraging.
