Today was PT day. I didn't do as well as I had been doing. I had some tremors and was not able to walk as far as usual with the walker. But, my PT specialist said it is that my body just has to get used to the new blood pressure which was 121/81!! So, just a matter of adjusting.
Emily had to work until 7 so I had to get the girls at 245 because Maw Maw was going to a funeral. It was the funeral of a young person which is always tragic and makes you appreciate what you have and to treasure your children every day.
Even though it was 3, I decided to go ahead and take the girls out to supper. We went to Pedros and using the walker can be a challenge there but the girls know that and really behaved themselves. We had a great dinner and time together. Then, I took them to the park so they could play. They had a ball and were typical sisters. They did argue over building a sand castle but they really enjoyed playing and sliding down the slides. All I did was sit on the picnic table and enjoy watching my girls. Then, it was home and Eva was worn out but we had to have baths. They have pretty much learned how to give themselves a bath but I still have to help in some ways. It is hard and my biggest fear is falling but so far so good. Luckily Cottia had to use the bathroom so I got to do one at a time and right after Eva got out and got dressed for bed something else she can now do for herself I put her to bed. She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.
Now, Cottia is watching TV after picking up the house a little bit and I am watching the news. So, that was our day. The pain in my legs is off the chains but it was well worth it. I feel I am making real progress and look forward to hearing what the doctor has to say tomorrow. So, tomorrow is another of those big days.
Emily is taking the girls to the fair and I'll admit I feel left out because there is just no way I can handle it. But, that is the way it is and I'll just be thankful for today and the time I had with them.
I hope everyone who reads this has a great night and I pray God's blessings on you all. May the Lord richly bless you all.
