Each Day

When I realize that one week ago today, I was in ICU, what difference each day makes.

It no longer feels like I am going to pull apart when I get up in the morning.  I am able to get myself going to be mobile round the house.  I do go to bed about nine each evening.  When there is no longer any spot that is comfortable, lying flat feels like an oasis.

During the three months I was recovering from the stroke, each day there were new horizons to face and challenge through them.  I had energy.  That was then.

Right now I see much that I would have been on like a flea on a dog.  Not right now.  By the time I am ready for the day getting dressed and breakfasted, I am ready for a nap and nap I do.

I was hungry this noon and I got what I was hungry for . . . a Kid’s Happy Meal.  Go figure.

Yes, I like each new day.
