Reality and the Matrix

Dec 9, 2020 - First day of PT at Froedtert Hospital, Mequon

On our arrival, Ken patiently filled out the flurry of paperwork on the clipboard with me. While speaking with the PT, we learned that visits could be changed to virtual if I am feeling too exhausted from my chemo and radiation appointments, which start next week. Bam! Kick it up a notch! Savor the bitter flavor of that reality.

After PT, we enjoyed the 53 degree weather by walking around the Froedtert Hospital parking lot, and even did a little off-roading on a small grassy hill. A small caramel frappe ended today's visit to Mequon. When we got home, we walked to the beach, picked up some beautiful stones, and trotted all the way to the bird house. It's going to take some time to get my left side back in the matrix.

We both savored this sweet experience as everything actually felt good in this moment. We committed ourselves to making more of these special beach moments together, as time and weather allow.
