I haven’t been able to keep up with my posts lately because I’ve been busier than ever with work and the final touches on the house. I’ve had a lot of friends coming over sporadically over the past week volunteering with packing my apartment and it’s been much appreciated. I hope to spend Christmas Eve in my new house by my fireplace. This afternoon I have the final walk-through of the house prior to closing. Tomorrow the show begins with movers at 0:Dark 30 and I’ll be on straight black coffee for appx 72 hours straight with closing, moving, unpacking and taking care of everything that goes along with the logistics of changing residences. My mother gets here on Christmas day to help with unpacking and organizing everything and she’ll be here all the following week.

As for how I’m doing health wise, my nasal infection has gone away, my pain is still peaking at night, right leg still swelling unproportionately more than the left and right shoulder feels like it was shot by a whale harpoon. My prescreening is done for my annual medical evaluation at the Augusta VA Hospital and I have a pain pump follow-up appointment the day prior. The Christmas holidays are not helping with my diet and trim down plan so I’m hoping the pain doctor will release me to more physically demanding activity on my next visit. Until then, I’m still restricted to light activity, standing and my stim-bike for the legs. Have a Merry and safe Christmas and New Year’s. I’ve enjoyed everyone’s friendship and look forward to more years ahead.
