Set-backs

[mrissa]

Some of you have already heard elsewhere that yesterday's PT revealed absolutely no progress on one fairly important front after a fortnight of the exercises, so we've dropped back to regroup on that one and are doing yet more remedial exercises there. I hadn't believed it was possible to be more remedial on this stuff, but here we are.

I got out some markers and paper in hopes that this was something simple I could do when I was too dizzy to read or work on the computer. HAH. Critical failure there; even dizzier even faster. So we'll cross that off the list.

markgritter and I had symphony tickets for tomorrow night, but we are making alternate arrangements there, because by 8 p.m. on the day of clinic PT, I am thoroughly a pumpkin, and also I have had difficulty keeping enough energy to stay minimally warm. Even if I could summon the energy to manage all that stuff, some friends are getting married this weekend, so a symphony concert is not the appropriate place to expend a whole bunch of energy if a whole bunch is going to be expended.

But despite those things, Mrs. Lincoln, it's actually a pretty good play. There's a new short story to poke at, and some friends sent me very kind and lovely things in the mail, and I am creeping through the things that need doing a bit at a time, and sorting them out fairly well from the things I just can't do. So there's all that.

Well, dang. I hope the more remedial exercises help and that they come up with something useful. Yay for crossing something off the list (I guess) and good stuff otherwise. Thinking good thoughts in your direction.

Much appreciated.

Yesterday, the subject of the original Underdog cartoons came up, and I thought of you. (Aliens had once tried to disable Underdog by giving him a medalion that made him dizzy. Have any aliens given you medalions lately?)

Lately? No, not lately.

It occurred to me a few days ago, in email, that you might want to change plans for the symphony, but I figured that if that was necessary you'd notice, and if not, why assume the worst?

And we just poked a friend who likes that sort of thing, so markgritter still gets to go, and he still gets to go with someone who will appreciate the music. So for the level of lose involved, there's some definite win.
