Time for a quick review of my post surgical journey. Mostly I am doing well. My hair is about an inch long and I am sprouting the untrimmed look, just like most everyone else.
My shakiness is a little more tricky to deal with, but overall, I am pleased with the ability to eat with little spilling and write legibly again. I have tweaked the battery again as I continue to reduce medication. I seem to be tracking that with each reduction on the one med., I have a couple of sleepless nights, with restlessness and body irritability. I am quite certain I slept no more than 45 minutes last night. Two more weeks and I will be off of it. Whew!
The other one of the medications, I find myself needing to go back on, in a small dose. When the battery is operating the right way to keep me calm, I have a tingle in the tip of my tongue and my speech slurs. So I am opting to take a small dose and it seems to be effective at this point.
Jim is healthy, but his surgical wound is still open and we pack and dress it twice a day. Doctor continues to assure us it is very common and nothing further needs to be done with it. Just the patient, character building it takes, to be done with it.
Lots of patience and character building going around these days, as we await the all clear and an end to the pandemic, with its social distancing, masks, hand sanitizing, and limited gatherings.
2 Peter:5-8 But for this reason, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue, to virtue add knowledge,
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance,
to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness,
to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours,
you will be neither barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
