Confession: I have been really down lately. With all the joint pain and doctors blowing it off as osteoarthritis, I've been feeling pretty negative about my future. I've finally gone ahead and made an appointment with a specialist on my own. I also decided to try out the yearly wellness nurse visit that's offered for free every year. I feel like I have an advocate now.

She's going to speak with the doctor to find out why I was not referred to a specialist after the latest blood work which didn't come up with anything. She will be calling me today with what she finds out. On top of that, I seem to have a cold, covid test negative yesterday, so I may not be able to attend a day of mindfulness this Saturday. So dear friends, if I get kind of quiet, it may be I'm just busy or I'm down. Feel free to check up on me once in awhile if you become concerned. Much love.❤️
@Vozy Today or tomorrow! Dad has me powerwashing a fence.
He calls its bonding, I call it manual labor. Good times.

😆Later today? Maybe tomorrow if I don't go to the day of mindfulness. I'm powerwashing the entry rugs and litter boxes. I call it overdue. I'm on break #237 right now. 😩

I always withdraw when I'm struggling. I know it's the worst thing to do but it's the way I'm wired. I made my confession today because I'm more hopeful now that I have an advocate. I've also found an icing regime that reduces the pain in my shoulders which helps me to get up and down and do a little more. I'd love a phone call if you have time. Just give me a few minutes notice.
