Overdoing it.... a little

 

For some unknown reason, my gallbladder decided to make itself known in the fall of 2020.  I had two attacks that sent me to the ER.  Both times I got pain meds and they sent me home.  But in a follow-up with the surgeon, I was told to pick the date and it would come out.  

Being a teacher, and as crazy as it was last year, I wasn't about to take time off.  So I said, "Let's see what happens and maybe do it at Christmas."  

Nothing happened, for months.  I didn't have another attack all year... until June 16, one week after school was over.  Cut to the chase, it came out.

Now I think I have overdone it a little bit.  I'll give it a couple of days and see if I need to call the doctor.  

Getting older sucks!

Blog Reboot

 

Nothing like trying to start things all over again.  I had another blog, Patchwork Penguin.  For some reason I started playing with it and honestly I wasn't happy with it.  I think it reminded me of a time when my life was not happy. I was trying too hard to do what others were doing and what I thought would make others happy.

Now I am concentrating on me.  I started taking Lexapro a year ago.  It was hard admitting that I was depressed and I needed something to bring me out of my funk.  But since I have been on it my outlook is much better and I feel like the old me.  Why I was all out of whack isn't important.  I can't change the past - I can only live for today and move forward.

After all, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but the present is a gift.... that is why it is called 'the present'.
