Yesterday was a trip to Rochester for a support group/counseling appt, and I took the drive easy enough to arrive with energy-- and a chair to nap in, kindly carried from my car to the appt. by Mr. Lindon Rouse, a stranger who informed me that to fail to help when an opportunity arises is to block God's blessing. (What a delightful angel!) After the appt/support group I was blessed with a real milestone-- I am now small, nimble, and well enough to sleep on a couch with the most minimal overnight kit I have ever taken which I carried all by myself. Also (TMI alert) was able to manage hygiene issues with the simplest of portable kit.

I slept well, woke rested, took my thyroid meds, gave my hostess a little thank-you session, and took the easy way back via: one brekky stop to stretch the legs, one errand in Corning w/HC parking TBTG, one noonday prayer service at St. Paul's, one admin errand in W'boro to get more medical records sent-- and HOME to tea and that comfy chair calling me as soon as I nail down a few scheduling items and then REST. Estimated walking (in small doses) was about equal to double the usual day's ramp walks, plus a flight of stairs like my usual extra trip in the day.
