  • Discharge Day: Accomplishing Goals And Getting It Done! It’s Really Time to Go Home and Live My Life Again!

    Today is my discharge day from acute rehab. I have been working super hard the last week or so. Therapy has been three hours a day plus other work. I still didn’t meet all my goals, but it’s time to move on and reclaim my schedule.

    This time has given me a chance to build different kind of routines, most notable goals being my prayer/bible time each morning. I am absolutely loving following along with the Adventure Bible.

    I also have been enjoying reading or in fact listening to a book through Audible (right now I’m “reading” The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. It is a long story but helping me reach my goal of reading a book each week.

    I feel a little disappointed that I didn’t reach all my goals, most noteworthy of being able to stand completely on my own, but it is time. I will use the slide board if needed, but I think I will have that behind me soon enough.

    So, my goal moving forward is not to panic or get stressed about the transition back to my apartment. My brother, Tim is going to meet me and help me get a little settled. I have a lot of packages to open and put away. Then, I have a special package to deliver to Yvonne (I ordered her a copy of Wicked), I want to print the newsletter and deliver it,

    The next steps are going to be busy, but good. It’s a lot of waiting too- I need to wait for my Aflac payment as well as waiting for my plan G documentation.

    I put in for extra help from Home Instead including an extra laundry shift, I think it will help on Monday when laundry will be due again.

    I will need the tech to help pack up my clothes and assorted stuff that I’ve collected over the last couple of days. It’s a goal to have it organized. The plan is coming together.

  • Self- Catherterzing Is A Big Deal To Get Rid Of As My Bladder is “Waking Up! Good News!”

    So, my bladder might be “waking up” I am able to pee without Cathing at this point, which is huge! I would love to get to the point where I can pee regularly. I am reaching out to my urologist to see if I can stop Cathing.

    My body just stopped being able to pee one day after my hysterectomy and I needed to Cath- it was odd and just another example of my bad luck. I was going to even try botox but hopefully that is not necessary any more.

    I also wish I got a little more sleep today, but I am nervous about missing out on something. I think I finally figured out how to blog and now just have to increase my followers. .

  • Bible Study Everyday! Using the Great Adventure Bible As A New Translation!

    I have really been enjoying the Bible in a Year Podcast. Each morning I am able to follow along using the Great Adventure Bible, I wasn’t going to buy a new Bible, but it seems worth it for the correct translation. I am not sure if I ever did morning Bible Study, but I am enjoying it!

    Each morning I am following various readings and following along in the Bible. I am recognizing the various feasts or offerings. It has been great to study the Bible directly instead of just listening to the Bible.

    I am sure as the year goes on, I will enjoy the readings even more. I can finally see the plan for covering the whole Bible. Right now, I am still waking up and getting ready for the day.

    I hope my Bible content isn’t too boring, as I am still learning how to add more content.
