I was waiting at one of my brother’s two medical appointments yesterday when I got a call that I have an appointment next Thursday with the doctor who did mom’s wrist surgery. That’s great news. He’s an excellent orthopedist and will get to the bottom of the arm I hurt helping my brother up from a fall. It will be nice not to be limited to one arm.

I’m heading back to the 200+ strong women’s bible study next week. There’s bible study and then lunch. I’m also looking for other opportunities to expand my horizons (i.e. get out of the house). I reconnected with an old friend on Facebook and we’re having coffee next week. I don’t know that I’d call it a date but it’s movement in that direction. Never say never I guess.

I got a great vacation package and want to go to Vegas but my daughter doesn’t. We’re looking at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Arizona or the Berkshires, Massachusetts. I’m disappointed about Vegas but I know we’ll have fun wherever we go.

The Smokies trip is coming up. There is also me, my daughter, my niece, my sister and my mom meeting 2 of my aunts halfway for a meal and a visit. My aunt Sue has an aggressive form of cancer so I’m cognizant of the value of time spent with her. It will be 3 generations of women gathering. I’m looking forward to it.

Totally overwhelmed with life right now particularly with the use of only one arm. It’s too much with little relief and I’ve just returned from vacation. I’ll brainstorm solutions and opportunities. I’m getting hamstrung with each idea I have so it’s hard. It’s not sustainable though so I’ll bide my time.

I hope everybody has a good weekend.
