This morning I woke up :), early as ever and then I had my coffee.
I received a call from my folks, seems that everything is going fine. As fine as it can be. I give my mother the greatest of respect as she is handling so many things and yet she keeps her chin up. And then as well for the first time in a while I talked with my father - they live five hours from where I live now. With all taken into account that man is a great one. It seems he has really, I can't describe it. He is a little different and I think that he in many ways wishes I was there but understands that I am tending to all things for my own self as I need to do.
For the first time in a while I spoke to my father as I know where things are at there
and I don’t wish for him to be worried regarding me. So we talked I told him of the projects I have accomplished and then to my amazement and surprise he said, “Son you can’t push things, you need to tend to your legs”. I had talked about all these companies that I had seen and we had a good talk it was around 8 am in the morning. So it’s been a bit of a waiting game, I know that the last two days I became so tired of the wait and all that efforts that I have done. And I do get pretty bored with just the ordinary.
I headed out to the gym. I don’t push it but I felt that there was a need to get out of this rut of idleness – and I have been doing it but I do pay the price. So I took it easy with anything with legwork. To get in that cardio element I choose to row. They have this machine where you can program it and I got it going and after it all it was great to just be able get in there enjoy it. There after I headed to get groceries and then I came home.
I have had the address of where my MRI is going to be taken. But I never knew where it was. So I went out back out and found the place I have to be there tomorrow on or before 9:30am.
That's the first step that will lead into another. Meanwhile I just keep doing things not get home bound. It's easy to do that when one has time on there hands. And literally my legs will go at a certain point. So it's a mangement right now and I do have faith that I will look back on this and see that it's a lesson learned.
So all is good in my world. It's proceeding rather than receeding. And you just have to handle things in life sometimes. It all will take a change for the better and sometimes that is the way life goes. But you make the best of things. There are some people that I have talked to and that I have known for sometime on this blog. Now and then it's fun to be connected.
Hope your all having a great Sunday late afternoon, or a great Monday morning.
One question I wanted to ask. I am getting all these emails in my yahoo email regarding
some Facebook. What is that? Is it another blog or is it a part of Multiply?
I am familiar all to well with the *rut of idleness*....:)
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteNo it is not part of Multiply, it is just another social program along the same lines, I myself have a page there as my family all seem to prefer it but I am still to work it out, give me the simplicity of Multiply every time.. catcha on the rebound :-)
Glad you had a nice talk with your folks and accomplished a few things today. I imagine the not knowing what the next step will be after the MRI is daunting, but sounds like you have a positive outlook and proceeding as you say. Lyn
ReplyDeleteIt is good you had the opportunity to talk with your mom and dad. No matter how young or old we are, we are still their child and the bound we have with them is one of a kind. All the best to them and to you on this sunny Sunday. Try to relax tomorrow. The MRI is an easy procedure. The only inconvenient is that you have to be patient and stay still for a few minutes while the images are being taken. Think of yourself in a hammock by the sea with the sun shining. Can you hear the waves rolling on to the shore? Tout ira bien. Hugs et Bonsoir Jack.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you keep in touch with your mom and dad, Jack ... regardless how old we are, we're still their kid and they worry about us ... it's a labor of love, Jack, and I myself will never relinquish the role ... in the South, we have an expression of forever:from the cradle to the grave ... as far as the MRI, relax, Hon ... it's going to be fine ... I'll be praying for you, my friend ...
ReplyDeleteFacebook is just another social community, Jack; I would not call it a serious blogging site like Y360, Blogger, Multiply etc, although it has certain similar features, in a convoluted way! It attracts mostly youngsters, teens to be precise, hence the contents look “teenish”! …you can create picture albums and people can “gossip” about it, that sort of thing… :)
ReplyDeletep.s. it was hacked several times in the past!
I hope all goes well with the MRI. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWell it's not idleness but there is a time in which my legs have given me troubles, so right now I accept. And I know that things will change. The MRI is done, saw the dentist with regards to my back tooth. And these two days I have to take it easy as I can't blast my legs. It is a rut in a way. You wish to do so much more and then at a certain time you can't. So for now Kim I just accept it. You would know it to see me, but at a certain point I do have to take a mild rest.
ReplyDeleteI am finding that a good nights sleep, as well as eating right and so on. This is now and tomorrow brings another day. Idealistic thinking but a self cognitve if you will.
Caught! Yes I get these emails and I know that on here there is something called facebook, but I have never used it. Nor will this is good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI know my physician gets in within two days, however here in Canada Monday is a holiday. Which I didn't know Lyn till I arrived in there this morning. But I know the process and that can scare the heck out of me as this is a new ground now that I live here in this city but Hope does have some merits. If I think of all the steps, I would just fall. As I know there will be a wait. But I keep a positive outlook.
ReplyDeleteYes it was. And I know all to well what an MRI is. And I know the procedure. No this was not 5 minutes there are various kinds of MRI's and this one was 40 minutes. I could hear music while I had it all done I was listening to jazz. A good holiday to you Daniel.
ReplyDeleteCin it's done and finishes and as Lyn mentioned and is very wise. It now goes through a procedure of review of physician, then it's outsourced to a specialist. Then things are tended too.
ReplyDeleteI keep in contact with my family. Yet I do not overwhelm them with it all. They have seen this happen when I lived in the same city. Now it's a area that they have there own situations and I take care of mine. So the first portion is done, I am probably going to have my very back tooth just yanked out, as there are too many medical things happening at the same time. But I will decide on that this Friday. And then have it done next week.
I have one blog, and one only this one. I know that people try to do y360 and this one as well, I just like this as there is not another from which to write, and I dont which to have Facebook, or any of the others. I like the maturity of whom is on "Multiply by Choice", it gives way to something that has substance. And then some. I know your rather new here and figuring it out from what I understand but I am sure you will get the hang of it. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. Facebook was created by a canadian and it's been noted to breach so many things including one's computer. This is the place for me Tamil.
It is done and went well...
