Once Again From the Top

Been a tough week. I have been really down. Stressing over my grandmother’s rapidly declining health.  Been working out in the room this week. Just haven’t felt like myself.  Been eating ok. Still watching portions.  Really been struggling with sleeping. I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep for 4-5 hours.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Feel like I’m a making some progress. Getting answers anyway.  I went up front several times this week. Once to meet with a home health therapist. Unfortunately, I am too mobile to benefit from home therapy, but he put a request in with my doctor for therapy at a facility that is easier for me to get to, and said that I could benefit from a wheelchair right now since I can only walk a short distance.  I received an awesome gift from my wife’s grandmother. She saw a big mans store closing and bought me a bunch of clothes! Still working on eating less and moving more. Standing up several times in a row and doing leg exercises.  Felt good most of the week, I was able to calm and deflect anxiety and depression attacks. All in all a good week.  Feel free to comment below. 

All in all a good week. Some drama that I feel I handled well and will leave it at that.  Started on Wednesday trying to walk up front to eat dinner in my recliner. Made it two days and the plan is to go up there tonight.  Had a meeting with my therapist and he gave me a new exercise to try with my thoughts. I like it so far.  Been trying to watch what I am eating. Also been trying to cut my portions back some.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Had a couple of bad days this week.  I was supposed to go to my physical therapy appointment on Wednesday but I had the worst anxiety attack I’ve had in months. I couldn’t breathe, my chest hurt, and I couldn’t stop crying. This led to a few days of being really depressed. Fortunately my support network was there for me and got me through it.  I did work my legs most days. I would stand up unassisted for a few minutes, or do leg lifts.  No change on the food front still trying to eat at home more and make healthier choices.  As always feel free to comment below.
