Once Again From the Top

This was a productive week. My modem from Comcast died and I had to have a technician come out to replace it. Of course this happens while I’m working on a project for my grandfather.  So I schedule the tech appointment when I think I can get someone to help me get up front. At the last minute my help fell through. So I had my wife arrange the room and bring me my walker. I didn’t notice till I got up closer to the appointment time that she had gotten my smaller fold up walker and not the one with the seat. This meant I had to walk the whole way and couldn’t roll myself up front. I’m happy to say I managed the round trip, although I was pretty sore.  Between meds and therapy techniques I managed to keep my depression and anxiety under control. Even finished the project in time for my dad to take it to him this weekend.  Wife cooked more this week so I had healthier food to eat.  As always feel free to comment below. 

It was an interesting week but I survived it and am moving forward.  First couple of days went fine, then on Tuesday I was trying to help my dog on the bed and I fell off the bed in the process. Banged myself up pretty good. Couldn’t even reach my phone to call for help. After about twenty minutes I managed to climb back on the bed. This resulted in four days of aching bad and having to reschedule my physical therapy appointment cause I couldn’t stand up to get to my walker.  The fall affected my mood too. I’ve been really down since I fell and it’s been hard to shake it off.  My diet didn’t change this week. Just keep trying to make better choices.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Had a pretty good week. Feels like I’m finally starting to progress.  On Sunday, my wife drove me up to my grandparents place. Got to spend five hours with them. Was blessed to hear my grandmother and grandfather sing. Had to have help getting off the couch, but other than that I handled the trip well.  Been keeping up with my workouts, making sure to do leg lifts or stand up everyday.  Trying to keep an eye on my intake as well. I am noticing I get full faster than I used too.  Because I have insurance now, the clinic is switching my therapist. Met with him via phone this week, seems like a nice guy.  In upcoming news, I have a physical therapy appointment this week and I’m hoping for good things.  As always feel free to comment below. 

It was a pretty good week.  Between my meds and coping skills I’m starting to get the hang of living with anxiety and depression. Just wish I didn’t have live on this roller coaster. Anyway, no major episodes this week.  I stood up and/or did leg exercises everyday this week. My diet got a little off as we ate out most nights. Only thing to do try again.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Had a pretty good week. Feel like I accomplished a lot.  On the depression and anxiety front I had a very balanced week. I was able to keep my emotions in check and stay calm.  Been eating at home more than ordering out. Stood up or did leg exercises every day this week, even with my hips hurting.  Went today with my wife to an actual barbershop. First time I had a professional haircut and beard trim in six months. I feel great. 

Short post this week. I am maintaining my course with my therapy and meds and eating and trying to strengthen my legs.  As always feel free to comment below.  

Had a good week. Met with my doctor. Attended a virtual group meeting. And went shopping.  Met with my psychiatrist via phone on Thursday and went over concerns I had about some of my medication. We made some changes and I’m good for another three months.  I attended my first group meeting with others at the psychiatric center via video conference. It was an interesting experience and helped me feel less alone in what I’m going through.  For the first time in a long time I bought some clothes for me. Spent too much as we all seem to do but I’m happy and waiting on my shipment to arrive.  I did leg exercises and/or stood up everyday. Trying to continue making healthier choices.  As always feel free to comment below.
