Acceptance

There are a number of things about my living of life that I don't like. I am displeased that I am so spotty in getting my blogs done (something I truly enjoy doing, too). The same is true for many other things I want to get into my days daily... Bible time, more prayer, exercise, contacting friends and family, cooking (really cooking!)... well, I could go on, but why bother.

I can remain unsatisfied that all my determination seems to be swept away by fatigue or the inordinately swift passage of time, or I can assume a stance of acceptance and get done what I get done and let the Lord work the rest as He will anyway.

Now on to a synopsis of my California trip. It was a fast two-day mission. I flew out of Orlando EARLY Tuesday morning and Donna met me at the Sacramento airport. We checked into our room which had been bundled with the round trip airfare for a cheap $316! Then it was over to the lawyer's office, and later to Dr. Sheehy's office.

Donna took notes of the answers as I read my list of questions at both offices. Then when I was with Dr. McCormick on Wednesday, Donna rewrote and organized all the medical and legal info I had been told. I've reread it several times and think I know the main ideas.

I will be trying to find specialists here in Florida who will accept CA Workmen's Comp rules and paperwork and payment limits... It may not be easy! Meanwhile, I made appointments for October in California, just in case.

I will miss my doctors. They have brought me from foggy darkness and lots of confusion to a place of understanding, better functioning, useful strategies, and albeit reluctant, acceptance... of my limitations and my altered life... and perhaps of myself.
