Today

So, where do I begin? Yesterday, was hard. But, last night I slept. And was able to stay in bed for longer than usual this morning… which made the kids much easier to work with. They got to see their mom this morning while I went to my doctor appointment.

The doctor appointment was good news. The lab work showed nothing concerning. The scans show nothing concerning. My metabolic numbers show nothing concerning. I should keep my routine dr. appointments. The lump that I was concerned about has resolved. I can resume exercise gradually, I should stay hydrated better and add a few supplements to my routine for digestive health. Plus some stretching and therapy to help with my spasticity. Basically, for the most part I’m doing everything right. Just some tweaking so I remain as healthy as possibly and return to my normal activities.

The kids got to see birth mom today. At the end I came in and talked with them. It should be interesting to see how this all works out. But, foster daughter and I had a good heart to heart. Hopefully, she will be better with the new structure and not glued to her phone.

DnD was so much fun today. We were able to find a sitter tonight so we both got to be there in person. I missed being around the table with these humans, We laughed, we killed trolls, we ate. And, they cared. I love that they care about our kids and everything else. I always thought our closest friends and groups would be within church… but nope. My family and increasingly the ones I turn to most are not from church or even from my immediate vicinity. My family, my cheerleaders, my confidantes are not who I expected and some how that has made it all the better. There is truly no judgment and complete acceptance by all of these folks. And, I appreciate it.
