Progress

I got my staples removed.  Don't really feel a lot different but I guess it's progress.

I am feeling more mobile though I still need pain medication and I still need to use my walker.   And I am still sleeping in the recliner.  I tried lying down in the bed this evening but the potential for really hurting my knee/ leg is too scary.

I am feeling very discombobulated about the election.  I was so sure Kamala would win.  I am blown away that she didn't.  Trump is a creep and an all together bad guy.   Enough said.

I am feeling very sad about my dear sweet, wonderful friend Shannon.   Shannon was diagnosed with lymphoma more than two years ago. She's gone though so much.  Chemo, surgeries of a variety of types.  Strokes.   She has not been about to walk for most of the time she has been sick.

And now, it looks like the end is getting closer. Her cancer has become very aggressive and is in her brain.   She might live another 2 months.

I have tried to visit Shannon as much as possible- which is not enough in my opinion.  Friends have gone with me to visit her with me as has my sister.

While I am recovering from my knee surgery I cannot make the long drive to visit Shannon.   I don't think she would know if I was there, but I wold like to sit a while with her.
