Yesterday was a pretty good day - wheelchair tech came out to fix some chair issues and groceries got delivered. (BTW, anyone who hasn't tried it, look into it - it has been one less thing for me to do when his aide is here. Order online, pick a delivery time, then the groceries are delivered and put right on my kitchen counter top. Shop Rite lets you either pay online when ordering or at time of delivery.)
DH's aide is here today. The day's adventures will not be as fun as Tuesday, but necessary none the less. I need to get our tax information to the accountant, then off to the dermatologist to get an "abnormal" spot on my back removed. First directions when they told me I needed surgery was no heavy lifting for 2 weeks. Yeah, that's probably not going to happen. I explained my situation to them and the dr told me the spot is relatively small, but I will need stitches. I'm going to tell her to put the heaviest duty ones she can in, even if I have to come back and get them removed rather than the self-absorbing ones. I have DH's PT coming tomorrow, so my stretching/ROM exercises will be kept to a minimum. DH knows things will have to be low-key for a bit. I'm one tough old bird, so I'll get through this - I've had this type of procedure before.
Hope you all have a good day!
