Our appointment today with Dr. Franklin was cancelled. They called late this morning and said due to complications with a procedure he had this morning all his afternoon appointments were cancelled. I'm really bummed.
We were doing really well conquering things this morning with school and phone calls. Chris helped me with the girls school and we were done before noon. I was all pumped up to go to this appointment and hopefully get some answers that would put this MRI to rest. Just not meant to be today. I have found it difficult to switch gears....its kind of like, "now what do I do?" I use to be able to switch gears quickly but I just feel lost today. Our appointment has been rescheduled for Thursday afternoon. Its the waiting game...though it really doesn't feel like a game because I like games. Maybe I need to make it a game.
I just keep looking at the clock and feeling like it is going so slow. I have to say I think I like this time change. It was a little easier to get up this morning with the sun already up, then when its dark and my body thinks it should still be in bed.
I have noticed, despite the MRI and tad lower CD-57, a different kind of energy. It still low, but not as bad that I'm begging for a nap. Don't know if its a lower key schedule and adhering to naps or an actual change in the body. I am voting for the latter. However, it could be that I am hydrated more. Ugh, could actually drive myself crazy trying to figure it out.
One daughter is off to gymnastics and the other is off to take a nap with me. I have discovered the secret to a great nap. One, a face mask across the eyes, blocking out all light even though there are long dark curtains, is essential. Two, the sweet warm body next to me of someone that resides in my house. One in particular will bring her monkey for me to snuggle with as I snuggle with her. I type this and she just brought me Girlie, the monkey and is climbing up into my bed. Third, wearing flannel or sweat pants, sweatshirt and snuggle down under flannel sheets with 3 blankets on top. Last, but not least I put the bed buddy in the microwave for a couple minutes and then put it under the sheets with me down by my feet. Yes, this is the perfect equation for the perfect nap. Oh, I almost forgot....the box fan in the room needs to be on medium as a white noise to block out all other sounds that will jolt me awake. This house has more sounds in it. The nervous system appears to pick each and every one.
So, I am going to take a great nap and let time pass while I soak up some time with my little girl and Girlie :-)....two of my monkeys.
