Feeling Pretty Good!

Posted on by lizzymcfly
It’s almost been a week since my second CCSVI surgery.  Each day I feel a bit better!  People keep telling me (in a caring and compassionate manner) that I need to take it easy and “just” rest.  It’s hard to convince people that if your energy level has been going downhill since the age of eight, and the fatigue has taken away many things in your life (four years of university to become a cop – for nothing, a year of school in Funeral Services – nope, medically released from the Army, very minimal social life – too tired, blah, blah, blah) then there’s no way you’re going to rest when you actually have energy!  What if this only lasts for months or weeks?  I’m not going to waste a minute of it!  Words of Lizdom: life’s too short to do or not do things you’ll regret in the future.  I know if I don’t take advantage of the energy I have today, I’ll regret it tomorrow. 

 

I had the day off today but went in for six hours for overtime.  My neck is still very bruised, so I put the cat paw stalking back on my ear:

Very discrete – I know!

Chuckles met me at the car rental place around 2:15, so he could take me to pick up Lola Corolla after dropping off the rental.  I was driving a Ford Fusion.  A nice ride, but the dinging that goes on and on and on when you start the car was very annoying!  I was so happy to get Lola back!  After picking her up, I drove over to our mailbox in the States to pick up a couple packages.  I used the Lower Bridge with Nexus so I was less than fifteen minutes there and back.  On the way home, I decided to drop by the airport to visit Vyctor.  I feel so bad for him.  He’s in the middle of his annual inspection, so he’s feeling quite vulnerable:

I know he’s in good hands though.

I went up to visit the folks in the control tower as well.  It was a really yucky day weather-wise, so no one was up flying.

One of the things I picked up from over the river was a heading indicator rug I bought (on sale, of course!)  The cats really love it:

Mya had Boo in a head lock and was going in for the kill (in a gentle and loving manner) in this shot:

I really haven’t been in the Christmas spirit this year.  I LOVE Christmas, so this is rather odd for me.  I think because so many things have been going on personally and health-wise, that I’m just not feeling it – yet.  I decided after dinner that I would try and force myself into the mood by putting up the Christmas tree.  Not sure how long it will last with my crazy freak-children running around:

It’s seriously leaning….hmmmmm….
The kitties all have their own stocking:

And of course the aviation Santas came out:

Still not feeling the Christmas spirit, but maybe (hopefully) things will change.

I have to give training to a group of managers tomorrow morning.  I’ll continue working in the afternoon on the Microsoft OneNote training I’m giving next week.  It’s a normal work day on Friday.  I have to leave a little early though – don’t tell her, but I have to take Abby to the vet.

Today’s symptoms:  Feeling quite good energy-wise.  My neck is still quite sore, but no big deal.  Very minimal headache today too.  Yea!
