HANDLING HEALTH ISSUES

WITH FACING SOME HEALTH ISSUES, I have been doing a great deal of reading about each condition.  Perhaps too much.  My brain and eyes are tired.  My calendar is filling up with medical appointments.  It is now my SOCIAL CALENDAR.  grins.  

With all the appointments, I have to have a calendar.  A large calendar.  I'm trying to spread out the appointments during the Spring and Summer months. Not all in one week or even a day. Too many and they wouldn't fit.  Only so much one 'lil 'ole human can do.  Life is fragile. Handle with prayer.

Physical Therapy for my back will begin in a few weeks.  Colonoscopy in the early Summer. Haven't scheduled a mammogram yet.  Gynecologist on the horizon.  Back to the podiatrist in a couple of months.  I want to get checked for allergies so that's another appointment.  2nd Covid Vaccine later this month.  Maybe a chiropractor as well.  When I visited with my family physician, I chuckled just before I started asking questions and said, "I'm going to sound like a hypochondriac."  I had so many questions and in reality there was much wrong.  The blood tests and X-rays revealed it.  

I'm not sure all of this has soaked in yet.  We didn't talk about the EKG either.  

THE HEALTH CHALLENGE continues.  I'm working toward a healthier me and a healthier Hubby.  There's much to do.  Prayers and insight.  More greens and less carbs.  Bring that weight down.

MEAL IDEAS:

ON THE HOME FRONT:  As for the Dining room, I am making slow progress.  By the end of the week MAYBE  (a firm  m a y b e)  the dishes and glassware will be completely dealt with and the furniture shuffled to where the primer gets painted on two of the walls then regular paint on the walls.  I have to do this in stages as the room is crowded and not easy to get around to paint.  

After the two walls are primed and painted then I will shuffle the furniture and do the same on the other two sides.  The ceiling usually is painted first, but I couldn't do this because of the large pieces of furniture in the way.  Sooooo...the walls first and then the ceiling.  I'll have to have the furniture all covered and if white paint splatters on the walls there will be touch up. 

The month of April isn't over yet and this was my plan for the month.  On schedule.  

Thinning out is a work out for me.  It's doable, but trying.

I have an ongoing pile of papers and pictures to handle every day.  That's a given.  I have to rest my back anyways.  I will exercise in short segments for now.  It has become way to easy to be sloppy. Household chores are spread out during the day so I can pace myself.  I try to get out of the house everyday for a little while.  The fresh air is refreshing and so is getting out of the house.  Rx.  A good and healthy prescription for mental and emotional health.  

Eight years ago we bought this old tub.  She will finally return to a bathroom later this year as we are going to place her into RETIREMENT COTTAGE.  Daughter and Grand were enjoying this old tub after it had been delivered.  Good memories.

It makes since to handle health issues one day at a time and know what you are dealing with.  Pray for healing and grace to handle it.  Study up on what ails you.  Know several ways to treat conditions naturally and with meds.  Have others pray for you.  Anoint yourself with oil and pray.  Eat foods that are healthy for you and if needed take medicines to help your condition.  Vitamins and minerals.  We all need help every now and then.  LIFE is fragile. Handle with care and prayer.  Amen.

Blessings to you and may you have all the energy you need to accomplish what needs attention.

HOME LIFE is for me,
