Consolidating Progress
Today has been a day to recover from yesterday when our enthusiasm outstripped our judgement about how much we could do. We have now scaled back to attending to the basics; eating on a regular schedule, personal grooming, walking, resting, and being up for reasonable periods. Last night was not comfortable due to achey and swollen legs and feet and the frequent companion, pain. Considering the distance Pattie has traveled from surgery to now, she is doing incredibly well. In light of where we are I would appreciate a "Sanctuary Time" away from the telephone and doorbell between 1:00 and 3:00 PM for the next several days so that Pattie can have the certainty of a time of rest. Thank you for your love and understanding, and thank you also for supporting in so many creative ways.

so glad that you are learning your pace- it does take some time to figure out 'how much' can be done each day. And each day is different. I continue to think and pray for you and just want to give you the time to heal in body and soul. love you both, love Karen
ReplyDeleteI think your sanctuary time is such a good idea! Thank you for giving those of us who love you good guidelines for helping!
