@ray666 Hi, Ray -- Well, here it is, coming up on Sunday - next PT appointment is on Tuesday at the clinic. The drive across town is only about 15 minutes, and less if I "make" all the lights. I like going out because it feels like a social connection that I don't enjoy at home. Everyone at the clinic is a friend. I was going to say "like a friend" but that falls short because we really do relate as friends. It definitely helps to keep my spirits up. On days/weeks like these (a week or longer with temperatures near and below 0*) I'd rather stay home but it is better if I just use common sense about not running extra errands in the frigid temperatures and avoid getting overextended or overtired. Sure do look forward to the appointments themselves, though. I don't know, Ray - there are so many variables, inconsistencies, unforeseens, and unpredictables- we try to make the best decisions we can at the time, right?
I do hope your insurance can be straightened out. The fewer stressors, the better. These conversations among us on Connect sure do help in so many ways. Here's to a Peace-filled Sunday - and to keeping our balance! ~ Barb
