OK, so I missed last weeks update. Sorry about that.
The week ending 4/23 was a little intense. I had my regular doctor's appointment on Monday and more medical testing assigned by the SSA on Friday. You may recall how my visit to the eye doctor turned out and imagine that two medical visits in one week would leave me pretty worn out. You'd be right and wrong at the same time. Neither visit broke me quite as badly as the eye doctor's did... my doctor is pretty easy to deal with, and less walking was involved and the medical testing... well, Juno insisted on getting me a wheelchair to get around the hospital.
Still and all, I was worn on last Sunday and told myself I'd post an update on Monday. I didn't. I was stressed out and distracted all week. It wasn't until Thursday that someone pointed out that I hadn't posted an update and by that point, I figured I'd just wait until today.
So, yeah, still having a hard time of it... but for all that, I'm still having good days too.
I think part of my problem is I've been getting frustrated with myself. I have things I want to do. I've let them become goals instead of ambitions. (You may recall, many moons ago, I decided it was better to have ambitions than goals... because if you miss a goal, you feel like you've failed, but ambitions don't need to have deadlines.) Recognizing where I've gone off my path helps me see how to get back on it. I'm working on it.
In other news, my mother pointed me to a very interesting video from Second Opinion with Joan Lundon about Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome. The fellow they have on who has it uses some of the exact same language I do to describe it. If you have 25 minutes and are interested, I highly recommend it (link below).
I'm going to try out a couple of things suggested in the video (treatment stuff starts around 18:30 on the video if you want to skip ahead).... though the tepid showers ideas, I don't know. :)
Onwards
