In the past month and a half I've had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, an appointment with my HIV dr, my foot doctor, a doctor for my broken arm, a hematologist, my arthritis doctor and multiple blood draws. In fact, I had another this morning. I've also got a coming dentist appointment where I will be having a tooth extracted.
While managing all things medical, well, most things anyway, we had a house leak we were unaware of that did significant damage. We've had two plumbing companies in and out, as well an abater. I'm not even sure that's a word. Neither plumber actually fixed the source of the leak. Oh, they were confident they did. Instead, it was my mother who found the source of the leak, and I was the one who fixed it. It's Something that is wayyyyy out of my league.....and on a side note, i once diagnosed a fuel injector on a past car too. I had a private mechanic with years experience working on the car in my garage. He was dumbfounded by what was going on. I can usually figure it out.
While balancing all of that, we also had company who turned out really easy. I'm glad they came.
We will be leaving home while an abatement is done. Yes, they found asbestos.....The house is 60 years old, there's going to be asbestos, however, according to the adjustor an abatement is needed. I've been working with a contractor to coordinate the reconstruct. All of this is wayyyy out of my expertise. I'm learning something new.
A lot going on, but God is leading. This morning was a bit chaotic. I had hoped to write earlier. When I was finally able to open my laptop and write, I was able to exhale.
Headed to the gym for a hot sauna. It does the body good.
On another note, I have an appointment with my therapist on Tuesday. Honestly, today, I've never felt stronger. Living life and experiencing this new normal thing. Always learning while striving. So long as the good Lord keeps me around, I have purpose.
Now, off to physical therapy tomorrow.
