Sorry for neglecting my blog during the past few days......the week-end kind of got in the way!
The weather was beautiful.....I spent time resting & reading on my swing......did a couple small house projects....went to my neighbors cottage on Sunday afternoon......did lots of napping & going to bed early. Monday was a holiday......I watered the garden with a brand new long handled hose adapter..... which gave me a sense of accomplishment. :)
My day usually involves accomplishing something & then resting or napping on and off all day. I have been getting up early in the mornings and walking a mile or two, then stretching & doing some light arm weights......when I am finished, a nap usually follows. As time goes on, I will be needing less naps. It is very important to listen to my body.....rest when tired.....this really helps in the healing process.
Last night & early this morning we had another thunder & lightening storm with lots of rain......restless night & I woke up feeling very tired.
Dad took me to the hospital for 8am. this morning. Today, I had blood work & my Hickman line cleaned. My bloodwork only has to be done once a week now & after next week, my Hickman line will probably be yanked, so I will have to start getting poked in the arm once a week for the blood work.
After lunch, I fell a sleep for most of the afternoon.....now I am about to head out for a dog walk, as I didn't have a chance to walk this morning. It is definitely a goal for me to walk everyday.
Don't worry, if I don't do an entry everyday......I may not have too much to write about. I will definitely report on anything important as soon as it happens.
That is all for now!!

Yes, we did notice that you had not made an entry for awhile and were wondering. It's amazing that you are walking for a mile already. The body is amazing in that it usually tells you when it is tired - you just have to know how to read the signals. Sounds like you have it under control. I do my big walk this weekend, so shall be thinking of you along the way.

Sounds great! You definitely set a great example of listening to your body and caring for its needs -- whether for rest or activity.
I'm happy to hear of your ongoing recuperation -- and your counts continue to climb!
Congratulations on your new long-handled watering nozzle. It's the little things, I swear!
Hey Angie! Glad to hear from you again - and glad to see you take a little break. I love how you take all the little everyday ordinary things and remind us all how fortunate we are to experience them - not just because of our health, but also because of where we live. We must never forget to be grateful - thanks for the reminder! Keep up the good recovering! -Rhonda.
