ismoYesterday I was somewhat discouraged, in part by doing my PT exercises. I know they're good for me, but they also made my knee hurt and continued to remind me of what I don't do so well. I had my second appointment in a week yesterday, and felt better. The therapist suggested that maybe I'd gone too low on the squat machine and that was what hurt my knee. That seemed logical, and anyway, it doesn't hurt tonight. I've also been fretting about my eye surgery. One friend--in comments below--got the multifocal lens surgery and loves it. Another friend got the monofocal lens, and she likes that. But I don't think I would. What I want is for them to just restore my sight to the way it was before the cataract. I'd be fine with that, glasses and all. But that's the one thing they can't do! So I'm going to go for the multifocal lens and hope for the best. I now have all the requisite appointments--TOO MANY. Not until February, however. Anything that messes with my eyes is just not something I enjoy thinking about. But I'll just put that off until after Christmas, la la la . . . .
Today was a busy day. The Sparrowhawk went to his SPECIAL special boxing gym. It's part of the regular Parkinson's boxing gym he already goes to, but the coach is now doing a gym on Friday mornings that's even more focused on techniques from boxing. I did my PT exercises while he was gone. It's kind of a long list now, because they added stuff. A quick shower and then a Zoom with friends, and then ANOTHER Zoom for the Sparrowhawk with other friends, while I did some more cleanup. Mr. Dr. Nurse came to give the Sparrowhawk his piano lesson. We're working on Christmas gifts, and sorting out the many requests for donations that we get so we can decide who to give to this time. It's like Hydra--give to one and a dozen more pop up asking for help. They're all real needs so it's hard to turn any of them down. I've sorted out another big bag of books that I'm not going to need any more. The paring down continues, though I will never be a minimalist. Meanwhile, the weather continues to be weird. Two days ago, temperatures were in the teens, and it was snowing. Tonight, it's raining steadily as the temperature rises into the 50s. In December. In Michigan. And tomorrow . . . it will SNOW??? Like extra stuff that I can't really use any more, I am gradually renouncing the notion that I need to express my opinions about a lot of things. Opinions about the weather are certainly among those things. What is there to say? It's incomprehensible.
