Yesterday turned out to be a very dark day. It started with the
news that a good friend’s father-in-law had died over Christmas Break
and ended with the news that another friend, from small group at
church, lost her sister who’d been in a car accident last week.
In between was a series of stressful, stretching
events/conversations. I’m also glad that God doesn’t leave our
sides on days like those. It is really hard to connect with so
much hurt in a single day, but I at least know that he’s right there,
too.
Today, however, seems to be a day of recovery. I’m very glad the
sun is out…the sun is good for my heart. And a trip to the
chiropractor has hopefully cleared up my back issues that started last
night…so my body feels a bit better. And I slept hard last
night, so my mind is a bit recovered. I’ve also gotten a few
things done in my office, and I’m having lunch with a friend before I
go back to Columbus to work on a project for my in-laws. Not a
day of cup-runneth-over kind of joy…but that’s okay.
I’m sorry that yesterday was so full of strtching incidents. I’ve been through a few of those these past few weeks. I’m also glad that today was better. And I totally am grateful that God never leaves us because I wouldn’t make it!!
I’m sorry yesterday was rough. I really hope today is better for you.
Good luck with the project.
Sorry you had such a bad day yesterday. I know seeing the sun always makes me feel better, too. It’s been quite sunny here lately. It did rain yesterday, but I guess we needed it. It only lasted about 30 minutes and the sun came back out.
We do PT at the hospital. It pretty much consists of getting people up out of bed, walking if they’re able, doing some exercises. The weekend is usually the higher level people(able to do more). During the week, we do range of motion for those who can’t do it themselves (in a coma, spinal cord injury, etc). I think of it as basic PT, not a lot of thought involved. It’s kind of nice though. You don’t spend very much time with anyone and you only have to see them 2-3 days usually. So there’s a lot of variety in the people you get to treat everyday.
