Jon’s doctor’s visit went well. The swelling is almost gone, and the doc was pleased with the movement of the knee. We don’t have to go back for four weeks. In six it will be time for physical therepy. Though, I really thought the small movements that Jon was doing with his leg while he sat on the couch with pillows and ice was physical therepy. Apparently, not. Tonight, Jon doesn’t have to sleep on his back. Yea! Back to our usual spooning. Very yea!

We also had to get allergy shots this morning, but it’s done for another month. When I finish this I have to get ready to meet a reporter and have an interview. When I know when it hits the stands we’ll give you details. I also have two essays due today. Short ones, but then short is always harder for me. It puzzles me. I have had to give up on the idea I am going to be able to work on the book.

And no, we did not sleep well last night. The doc has prescribed something to help Jon sleep. He thinks it’s either a by product of the pain meds, or just the operation in general. Frankly, I think just being able to sleep in a normal position will help.

I’m off to finish getting ready, but I’ll leave you with the saying that I have sticky-noted around my desk:

"Let go of the day you had planned, and embrace the day you’ve been given." I read that sticky note a lot. Because, often, lately, I find that what I’d planned to do, just isn’t happening, and I have to let go of the anger that puts in me. I hate to have my plans stalled. I am so goal oriented, and anything that gets in my way is a frustration. So, first you have to let it go, then you have to embrace what’s actually happening, not what you thought was happening, or wanted to happen. Anyway, I’m off to find a jacket to wear and dresser shoes that work with the ankle brace. I think I have a pair that will do.

You guys enjoy your day, whatever it may hold.
