It was ok, I suppose. I slept a lot. I work at night and keep my schedule on my off days, and because my days are so split up, it's just better that
way.
When I was awake, I watched some art tutorials on youtube, some good ones on basic art lessons, because I have developed bad habits over the years
that I recognize, and am trying to change. Plus, I am teaching myself multiple new media I have never done more than dabble in, so, it's tedious
doing several media at once. The basics, however, cross all media, and that's where I needed to go back to. It's fun, though!
Had a spinal epidural steroid injection Monday morning. Can't feel most of the lower half of my right leg due to a probable disc herniation I got
during a unrelated surgery at the end of February. The injection is to reduce inflammation and pain, and try to save my sciatic nerve. Have an MRI
Friday morning, then get to go see a neurosurgeon, likely going to have a spinal fusion. My third, but this one will be a biggie. I have cauda equina
syndrome. Not fun, but the injection helped. Now, my leg just simply feels like it doesn't belong to me.
Other than that, and distracting myself with art, working, and sleeping, I can lay down now. First time since the February surgery! That is something
ti celebrate! Oh! I found out I am going to be a grandmother again! I am reservedly excited. My daughter usually has preemies, she will turn 31 this
year, so in more ways than one, she is a high risk pregnancy. Hoping for a baby boy, but I will take whatever the good Lord sends!
Betcha didn't know what a loaded question that was, eh? Lol. But, you did ask, and, I felt like sharing, so there you have it.
Life's a beach, but we are here, so may as well pick up the shells along the path.
