Jewells of Thought

While preparing for the past weekend familiar pains have resurfaced. Back in October I had a shot in my wrist. It took a good while for that shot to finally dissolve. Thankfully.

I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. I am grateful I was able to do both Cantata’s and didn’t realize how much relief I would feel come Sunday afternoon. One of the little blessings of Sunday morning was talking to a friend who just happens to be a retired therapist. I was able to get some advice from her about my future therapy sessions with my wrist. I had forgotten that it was also her job. Her advice means a lot to me.

It’s why I am still between two church families. They are both family to me. Having a Sunday morning church family and a second Sunday night family is critical to my sanity. I get both sides of my family each Sunday. Then of course special events at my parents church which also took place last night. I have also spent more time there for baby showers and different events. Time is special and I am so blessed I can work between the 3 of them when I need to for my family.

If it be in God’s will I pray I am allowed to get back to my various hobbies with my fingers soon. Hopefully holding folders in my hands won’t hurt as much as they did recently after this necessary procedure. My surgery has also led me to finally get into my eye doctor which I had been procrastinating for months. It turns out that if I’m only going to have one hand to work with; my contacts will be a little difficult to put in my eyes.

The glasses I have now irritate me. The lenses don’t have a bottom it’s how they were made but now I really don’t like them. So hopefully when I am able to order my new glasses they will not have the same problem. This new pair looks like a normal pair of my glasses according to the ones I have had over the years. Mom and I were very happy with the pick. Now if I can just remember to change my contacts every two weeks instead of 30 plus days to two months. After doing it one way with one doctor it’s hard to get out of that routine.

As I began getting ready to take my contacts out tonight I blanked out. For some reason I couldn’t remember what I did with my glasses case or my contacts case after I got home from the appointment. In my gown I thought oh no I left it in the car so that was my first thought. I looked and they weren’t there so the second thought was on the dining room table. Again not there so I went back to my room. As soon as I came back in my hallway immediately right where I left them when I came back from town earlier this afternoon is right where they laid. My little goose chase led me back to my ledge where they were snuggled up in my little hallway into my room. I just hadn’t put them back into my bathroom.

The pain at least means I’m still busy doing what I love to do and soon it will be taken away. Forgetfulness means I have to be careful what I say about others around me losing things since it is quite obvious I can forget just as easily.
