Well, I can't honestly say that 2014 was all bad. The bad was sorta bad (could always have been worse, eh?) and the good was really good. I do feel emotionally stronger than I did this time last year. Not to say that I didn't have many, many meltdowns and/or shutdowns. Shutdowns seemed to be more common than the meltdowns. Much easier to deal with in the short run, but sometimes ya just gotta let things fly :hurt:
Good stuff with my family- Scott's graduation and amazing start in college. Cait really coming into her own. The bad times (too many to list bwuahahah!!) seemed to bring us closer and closer.
So that is about all the time I got for introspection. I have to get to Shop Rite as soon as it opens at 7am, so I can get back home and unpacked (I hate when other people unpack the groceries, becasue then I never can remember what I bought.). Out the door with scott for his consult with the Oral Surgeon, which is .... 45 minutes away, of course. (How many times have you heard me say that just about *everything* is 45 min's away LOL). On the way home, we are going to stop and visit with MIL to see if she needs any help or just to visit a bit. She has her wrist now casted from her fingers to above her elbow. This makes it hard for her to get around since she can't use her crutches for her broken foot.
When we get back home, Gary and I have to do a dressing change on my Line. It is in, I had a successful, albeit very long, IV last night. But wow! I am bruised but good. The nurse who did the insertion was new. The nurse who did my last one was supervising so I know that everything was done ok. But at one point she couldn't get the guide wire into my vein and was pushing at it and wow, that hurt. She had to pull the wire out and try again. That time it was fine. (Procedure is a needle inserted into the vein, a guide wire threads into the vein,catheter is pushed through the guide wire and one the catheter is in place, the guide wire is removed.)
We are not doing anything for New Years. Since I was a kid, I hated this holiday. Maybe Hate is too strong a word, but it always seems to me unnecessarily sappy and emotional. To me, it is just another day and a little more effort in remembering the right year to write on the checks.
Oh and looking back to yesterday's post, I did get my insurance payment straightened out, and I was able to get an appt with eye dr on Jan 8. And I ordered the abdominal band for my post-surgery needs.
Do I live an FUN life or WHAT???
:bounce:
(Who wants to be me????LOL)
I have to get running yet again, but I will do quick personals today since I never got back yesterday.
QOTD Do you make New Years Resolutions? Me, nope. I used to but then would fail and give up.
