Doing well today. Feeling a bit better every day. Had froot loops with almond silk and a banana for breakfast with my formula so yay no high calories or sweetness.  

Had my first physiotherapy appt at 1130. I am feeling positive about it. Defiantly felt like I was waking up those muscles that I have not used in a while and stretching them out. I actually hurt more than I thought because I haven’t really done anything . My back is stiff and compressed and my arm and neck are still torn and my knee still swells. some injuries are chronic and years old but then my right arm I injured recently as many of you may know. So today we focused on the range of motion in my arm and breathing exercises and kegals. Which I have never been able to engage  we will be doing lots of core work. i feel positive and know this is what i need. I have had hands on treatment for years so its time to take the next step and I still have my massages. 

Afterwords i ran down the hill to Amanda ,Was really nice to see her and i am very proud of her because though we have not seen each other pretty much for 3 weeks she still is eating low protein foods and drinking most of her formula. There are some things we both slacked off on , like she is not tracking or doing blood dots and she has been battling depression. Since I have Chronic major depression I can greatly relate to her , it can really knock you down. I made the decision for myself last June to go on anti depressants. It took years to make the decision and lots of suffering. I am not proud of it but i have accepted it. it was something I needed to do for myself. The depression and anxiety where taking over my life. The panic attacks where chains weighting me down and locking me in. I have noticed some amazing changes since being on this medications. I have tried several in the past but finally found one that works. But I know how easy it is to get trapped at home if you dont go out and how easy it is to shut off from to world so i took her out for a sushi date to get her out of the house. So now I will be having low protein pasta for dinner. 

Good thing my low protein order came today. it was at my door when I got home. I just finished stocking up my shelves and getting organized  Very awesome to see it all full again. Just in time for the snow too! we are expecting a blizzard.  We got 10 cm over night Sunday and tonight we are expecting 25 cm. It has already started too!! its coming down hard and my drive way is already completely  covered. Hope the roads are well maintained as I go back to work tomorrow night for over night shifts on the 9th, 10th and 12th. So I leave here at 10pm and leave work at 7am . Kamloops has not had this much snow in a very long time. Its been all over the news and all my friends live here keep telling me how unusual this is. Cole has never seen this much snow either! Glad we have everything we need. Well I guess we could use some more vegetables but we have the basics!! and a wood fire place :) 

so that is all for now, must go rest my arm, typing irritates me wrist and then spreads to me elbow and up. 

So best wishes and take care!
