This week has been an exhaustive one though, to be honest, I'm not sure why. Here was the week that was:
- The dominant theme this week was my Mom's spinal surgery and the beginning of her recovery. The surgery went without a hitch. Mom was a tad worried about how her age would impact the procedure and, it turns out, it didn't affect anything.
Mom stayed in the hospital three nights to let everything stabilize. On Thursday she was moved to a live-in rehabilitation center. The length of her stay will be determined by progress with her physical therapy. Starting tomorrow she will have physical and occupational therapy daily to help her regain her independence.
It's still early but Mom says the pain in her lower back seems to be almost gone (Huzzah!) but her sciatic pain in her leg remains (too soon to determine if it has improved or is the same). She still has issues with moving her legs smoothly while walking. This is most likely more of a Parkinson's issue than a back issue. Her physical therapy will work on that. - Our sprinkler system has been fixed ... for a hefty price naturally.
- Friday I had a minor panic when I discovered all my Google docs/sheets created after 2019 had disappeared. I was pleasantly surprised to find it easy to contact a Google support person who recovered all my files. I promptly changed my passwords. I have to say I am not pleasant to be around when I'm in a panic. 😈
- I haven't walked for ages it seems. I hope to restart once again this coming week despite the 100℉ plus (38℃ plus) heat indexes early this week.
- I haven't really had a chance to nap this week which is probably why I have been feeling grumpy, overwhelmed, and exhausted most of this week. I'll have to talk about how much I've been napping this year (excluding this last week). Suffice it to say I have been napping a lot this year. Makes me feel old.
