Today was like most any other, beginning with a Physical Therapy appointment in the morning. The regular nurse wasn't available so I had a substitute named Sherry who was advised by Christy to work me pretty hard.
I will say that my balance and strength are definitely improving. Sherry worked all the same exercises that Christy would have, and a few others. I have confidence that I could be out fielding some graveyards and working on my Ingress stats again.
I also had a palliative care appointment with doctor Boris Krivitsky. All we really did was refill my methadone and oxycodone prescriptions. It seems that most of my instincts have been correct up to this point. For example, Dr. Krivitsky actually encourages his patients to write, and he was happy to hear that I had already started a blog. I just need to work on it a bit more :P
Also we had discussed that the children may need to have a little counseling. For me, I feel that my perspective is a little unique and I might not need as much counseling as many cancer patients do. Though I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't consider one of the group sessions so thbat maybe I could be of benefit to others, because I feel I got my head screwed on right.
Laura's schedule was a little loaded today, and while she was able to provide a ride to the appointment, I used Uber for the ride back, which was $13.44. It was a bit more because the driver was new, and she made a wrong turn which I think added a buck to the typical fare. Apparently I was her second fare in her new Uber career. I gave her a 5 for review anyway. She was a careful driver, she just made one wrong turn.
I don't intend to make a huge habit of Uber, but when I need a ride and we're out of options, it sure does help. Hopefully, my confidence to drive will return before too long, and this would help me get back into more Ingress as well.
