Cat naps

Quiet times. Me and the kitties. Sleeping, napping, lying about or eating. Oreo and Jake are quite pleased that I've seen the light and am sharing their usual schedule, without pesky interruptions like leaving the house or interacting with other humans. Oreo seems to be slowing down and just wants to be curled up close to me. So, I guess there is a silver lining in being housebound.

I'm shocked at how exhausted I am. I've been drinking my fresh vegetable juice and popping all types of antioxidants and herbs in the desperate hope that they'll infuse my limbs with some vitality. Or, at least I won't get winded dragging myself from the couch to the bed! I am ready to have my legs back!

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a big day! I have two major appointments.

At 8:30, I see a new lymphedema specialist. Knowing that I have a new therapist, who will hopefully be nice to me, despite ironing my arm in the compression machine and wrapping me up like a mummy, is encouraging. I hope to get some answers: such as when my arm will be back to normal, when I can do Down Dog and whether I'll have to wear a sleeve when I do it, how to prevent another flare-up and all that good stuff.

The big event, and trust me, as only someone who has been cooped up in the house for seven nights can say, this is epic: I have an 11am date to see Eclipse with Kirsten. Go Team Edward. Eclipse was my favorite book so, I can't wait to see it play out on the big screen. Anticipation.....I wonder if I'll be able to sleep tonight?

And, you think I'm joking.
