Cate's Diary

Cate said:
I called in at the library yesterday, Em & picked up half a dozen books. I have one next to me now & will make a pot of herbal tea & get started :)

Sounds great to me . I'm loving reading again . Due to my eyes I do audio but love that now and the kindle has been great.
I do big print paperbacks too as I love a book .
Hope the MRI is soon Cate . Pain can be so tiring and dragging
 
Thanks, LaMa & Petal.
I get mostly large print book now too as my eyes get so tired.
My MRI is tonight at 8.20 :eek: 120 km return trip. It was either that or in 2 weeks!
You’re right, Petal. It got me down today.
 
Hopefully, the results will get sent to my doctor in time for the appointment I already have with her next Monday. I make a regular ap't because she is always booked out well in advance.
 
Good thinking. With those distances it really wouldn't make sense to have to come pick up results in person.
 
I got a call to go in earlier, which was good. Unfortunately, we had a flat tyre when we got into town but I was still earlier than the original time & we got home at 9.15. Staying so still for 12 minutes is not as easy as it sounds. The results will be at the docs by next Monday easily. Glad I have that appointment. We took Archie with us & G walked him for well over half an hour. I slept ok. Poor G- he drove about 250k yesterday & played 18 holes of golf, walked the dog & no naps.

Wow that's great getting in for an MRI so quick like that! I hope it will all be easily resolved and that you'll be back golfing soon. Loving the sound of the book and herbal tea a few posts back...i should try getting back into reading especially with winter coming on here and covid on the rise...

I like the sound of the audio books you mention Petal...maybe that's something I could try...maybe while knitting...that sounds cozy!
 
Glad you got the MRI sorted Cate and that the results will help you find a cure or a good management system. Hope G Has a day off to recover now .

Liza I love my audio books. They can be a bit pricy so I wait for an offer but I could walk for miles listening to them . I think you can borrow audio books in the library but I'm not sure .
 
Thanks, Liza, Petal & LaMa :grouphug:
I’m so glad I did manage to get that appointment. I am trying to be hopeful, but admit to feeling very frustrated. I really appreciate your support & am very grateful to have G as my rock.
 
Once your Doc can diagnose the problem after the scan results at least you will be able to move in the right direction for recovery and getting back to golf and all of the walking you normally do.
 
Thanks, Tru. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Not being able to walk without pain is what I’m struggling with the most.

Whatever the diagnosis is I'm sure you'll get on top of it.

Thanks, LaMa. I will certainly try. I must admit this has set me back quite a bit. My walking with Archie has really been helping me feel more positive about life & not being able to has had me worried for the future, old age etc & how hard it would be if I was mobility impaired. I have even been looking at real estate in town again. I shook myself out of it yesterday. Instead I'll concentrate on more decluttering & losing some weight so there's less stress on my joints.
There is still some stress happening in my life & I'm trying not to dwell on it as it's not going to go away any time soon. Worry does not help in the slightest.
It is bucketing down with rain today & has rained all night. Sorry Arch.
 
I’m sorry you’ve had a bit of a setback with the knee Cate, but I really think it’s important to stay positive and see it healing for you perfectly. Just picture what you want to happen. You’re giving your subconscious the message and it will do its best to do what you ask.

It's a weird and stressful time. Anything out of the ordinary would appear more worrisome right now.

True. I’ll try not to worry.

I have had an incredibly boring day today & felt like I would go bonkers if every day was like that. It rained heavily the entire day. I have read 1.5 books :svengo:
My knee will get better. I’m no longer feeling so despondent. Phew. I do need to go somewhere tomorrow.
 
Heavy rain here as well today, forecast to last over the weekend. I kind of like it but it does limit what I can do.
 
I feel for you with your knee Cate. A few years back I was out of commission for about 6 weeks with a bad back and I remember how hard it was to stay positive when even walking was an impossibility.
Heavy rain here these last couple of days as well! Isn't that funny all of us in different parts of the world and the same weather!
