Yesterday, I ran all sorts of errands---paid bills, typed and mailed letters, etc before going to visit Mom at the home. She was doing well, and she enjoyed a nice snack of chips and a diet drink while I was visiting with her. I soon had to leave since I had a doc's appointment due to having a bit of probs with my elbow. At the docs, I had an outpatient surgery done on my elbow. Apparently, it was a cyst growing bigger (even though many months earlier I had told the dr that that area was bugging me and he just said "Oh it's a mosquito bite." If it had been nipped in the bud, I wouldn't have gone through all of this discomfort--not to mention pain. I'm doing okay though. Some things are hard to do with the use of one arm, but I have been quite patient with doing things slowly--like getting dressed. (Don't ask me how skilled I was at the store when I had to get my prescription meds while trying to steer a shopping cart with wheels that veered off in the opposite direction of where I intended to go..lol!)
I spent most of today on lying on the couch, and I do find it quite coincidental that after all of yesterday's running about like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get things done and in order. I guess some sort of cosmic forces were telling me not to procrastinate yesterday since I'd be homebound today. Either way, I'm glad that I listened to my inner gut feeling.
Leigh's been a sweetheart as usual through all of this. And I've had takeout two days in a row. I'm still on my diet though and jotting down my meals in a food diary. And yesterday I did find out that I lost 7 1/2 pounds. Yayyyy!
Hope everyone has a fab weekend. I'm off for now to go rest some more.
