Text reminder for tomorrow morning's permanent crown installation at the dentist reminds me I need to share this:

Dan went croissant hunting this morning, so I held out for breakfast and it was so worth it. I usually get tired of food well before this point, but croissants are making me extra happy. I've got some lactic acid pain from yesterday's panic attack and PT. So today is a rest day.

Note to self:

Dan: I can get the mini croissants tomorrow if you want. Me: I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.

And panic attack. Not surprised since I was recalling hospital stuff. If I do that again, I'll wait longer to stand and brush my teeth. 😬

One time in the hospital this nurse was assigned to me for maybe 90 minutes before there were orders and they moved me to the neurology floor and she said to her boss in front of me, "No! She's my favorite patient!" and I didn't feel scared or cry that day.

I've made a deal with myself that I can tap my left foot to the music, but only after the right foot gets a song. It's helping get that flippin' ankle mobile again.

this is pretty cool.

21:39 folks. If you haven't already left FB and Instagram, you should be aware: youtu.be/q6BKgOJD7fU?...

I'm done doing things today. Exhausted in a good way. Here's what I'm proud of: ✅ 6000 revolutions on leg machine ✅Getting myself out of armless chair ✅ 3 laps with Rollator ✅5 sit-to-stands (right leg only) ✅ Assortment of PT exercises ✅ Resting at point of fatigue

Jesus Christ. You wonder why people are ready to throw bricks?

OK, OK BRB 😂

There's still cake. Should I have some? Yes or no?

Sloop John B. That's my favorite. Wilson turned that song into magic.

Just started listening to Someone to Build a Nest In. Here’s a quote that struck me “hatred was the fear people let themselves enjoy”.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” Viktor E. Frankl You might not be met with love. You might not be met with kindness. You can still choose to live with both. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #love Picture by anxiety positive
