Wednesday, September 18th~

 Life is going to give you just what you put 
in it. Put your whole heart in everything 
you do, and pray, then you can wait...


Yesterday I had a chore to do early in the morning. 
I finally got the first of four injections for my knee.
 So excited and hopeful that I will be able to finally
walk again.  I sure miss my morning walks.


When I was done I drove by a little Cuban restaurant,
 and decide to stop in and have breakfast. Nothing very
 fancy. Just a cafe con leche and tostadas.  It was delicious, 
and I sure look forward to going there whenever my 
“chores” take me out early in the mornings.


Arvid does not like breakfast out, does become a little 
boring once in a while.  As a rule I like to have it at home as 
well, but occasionally it is okay to go out.  Looking forward to
 going back another time I have an early doctors appointment.


Didn’t do much yesterday. I did ice my knee a
 lot and elevated it. The doctor recommended lots of 
rest for 24 hours after the injection, and rest I did.

Today is different. Still hurts but it’s been 24 hours 
so now I have some work we need to do. It requires 
standing and some walking.  But as I told the doctor, I 
can’t just ice and elevate all day long. Not happening.


Arvid is into cleaning and that gets scary. He finds 
“things” he claims we don’t need and begins what I call 
his dumping stage, and if an item is in his way it
 gets kicked around a bit 🐒.  Sniff and I just 
look at him and again roll our eyes 😂


It’s already halfway through the week. Time is sure 
flying by. Glad because this means I’m one day closer to
 being pain free 🙏. A good day to all and a reminder to
 not take life for granted. Enjoy each day and make it count.


Be present in all things
 and thankful for all things...
