Liam and I move on

Liam currently 16 and almost 4 months

will Liam make it to the Holiday card?

yes he did

because I ordered in October to take advantage of a kind of low key little advertised Snapfish offer (which of course was extended to the world after I early ordered}

and he will be featured as he has been since his adoption in 2008

I was thinking of getting in on it too

but it is his domain

so only Liam is pictured on the card

 

The two of us have traversed this year injured  and aging

my apparatus for wrist and the right bicep shoulder surgery

 

 if you are not a reader who reads the blog (oxymoronic statement)

here is a summary

1-I fell with Liam in January 2023

2-In February exacerbated it by 

exercise classes

weights 

Rowing

I truly believed movement was the solution 

 

3-And then in March I completed the job

 by carrying and collecting rocks/coral  on the beach in Fl for 4 hours

 

4-cracked left wrist in two places 

while favoring right arm 

 

healing sessions

interspersed by three PT (physical therapy) periods

April- May 2023 for right bicep/right shoulder

then August-September for left wrist 

then-October ongoing for right bicep/shoulder post surgery

a collage of my breaks and tears

and more recovery tools out at Crabtree"s

exercise ball and wine

and Liam's health

has anxiety

,high blood pressure

 small cancerous dormant node on his thyroid

 and elevated liver enzymes

 the requisite doxie back leg weakness.

all regulated by minor meds.

see grouping below

I have been told a few are helpful for ppl too.

 

Liam's recovery aids

his sessions

September -ongoing

If all this seems a bit all over the place, well you got it...that's what I want to convey...this year has been that way. Unexpected obstacles, sudden changes in direction, revamping of daily routines and lifestyle.

Learning new skills

Accepting limitations 

and so it goes

LITTLE STEPS TOGETHER 

 

 woof, woof
