Happy Hump Day y'all!

Yesterday was a hodgepodge!

7:30 am Phone interview with recruiter was postponed, UGH!

Lil sis was kind enough to come over and do some cold laser, and massage before I headed out to work. Marked improvement right away, made driving much less painful.

Day proceeded without my boss saying one word to me! She ignored both of my "Good Morning" statements, and refused to make eye contact at all, so not a bad work day considering. Especially since I left just before 3pm for Physical Therapy.

Lymphedema Physical Therapist was surprised when I actually showed up with my Tactile Medical Compression Leggings. Regardless proceeded to remeasure me, before showing me how to use the leggings seated in a chair. Agreed to follow up in a few weeks, to see if I have any improvement. If not, she's certain I should be able to return them, since they shouldn't be causing me pain. Unfortunately after just a few minutes my right leg is done, has to get out of them, and I need to lay down. She also was concerned about my living situation, given last weeks fall. I explained to her that considering the current rental rates here in Phoenix, when I looked into down sizing, or relocating to a "senior living" community, neither was an option. I've been blessed to have a landlord that hasn't raised the rent outrageously, despite the current market, and I have a few good neighbors in an area that is close to my sister & brother in-law.

The drive from PT to Acupuncture was excruciating, but my session went well, surprisingly enough. She had text me just before PT about running late, and wanting to push my appointment time back. I had replied that I couldn't come later, as I had my rescheduled interview for afterwards. She apparently hadn't read it, when I showed up on time, but after her initial exasperation with my being there, she actually discussed my pain (had to reeducate her on all of my issues), and the treatment went so well, that I even dozed off.

Rushed to get home, thankfully the driving went much better with hardly any pain, but never heard back from that recruiter. I don't know what happened with her as she hasn't replied to any of my messages since agreeing to reschedule. Oh well! Deep breath!

Sleep last night was great, but whether that was due to lil sis, PT, Acupuncture, the weather (it's Fall folks, record setting high of only 71 yesterday, this is my season), or a combination of all of the above. Bed 1:15 am, up at 3:30, back to sleep, up again at 6, and back to sleep until fighting with the alarm at 6:45. Don't get many nights like that, so extremely grateful.

Thank you for letting me share my yesterday, and I hope you are having a good day today.

Nice to hear something is working, hope it continues to improve. A pox on that recruiter!

So sorry about that recruiter being a ghost. I hope the PT helps. I'm supposed to wear a sleeve on my arm for lymphedema, but it just pushes the fluid to my back where I can't drain it myself. I enjoy the treatment for it though.
