Tuesday
Dear Elsie
There’s always a better day than yesterday and today was better. Last night, David came up and he was kaput after the ‘exercise’ in the afternoon but after dinner and an episode of Seinfeld (now on Netflix), he was feeling a little stronger. Late into the night he did more research on how he was feeling and found a couple more options of supplements that may help him. One sufferer said the supplement helped. He watched another YouTube video of a doctor suggesting some options related to blood supply to his legs. Another recommendation was this. So today I got this. The other one he has ordered online.
Everyone needs hope. We hope this will improve the circulation to his legs and he will be able to walk 250m without needing a number of hours to recover. This is the kind of thing we are reading online – here.
And then you get this line…
“The lack of scientific researches focusing on the musculoskeletal system in mild to moderate COVID-19 individuals is a problem that needs attention. ”
Yup! If it’s rare in the US, you can imagine how little information there is in SA. At least we are trying to edge forward.
This morning Mike and I went to the beach. I forgot to take my goggles and cap which I was initially irritated over but it turned out to be a very pleasant breaststroke out to the barrel and back twice. The sea was cold and calm and I loved it. Who knows, maybe as winter comes, I’ll not wear my cap and goggles, choosing rather to keep my head above the water. We’ll see. I soon will need my spring suit.
I worked 7 hours and now it’s time for dinner, just about. It’s been a beautifully sunny day with little wind. Sparkling sea and a massive canopy of blue sky. Across the bay, the smoke from a controlled fire is obscuring some of the mountains but it isn’t impacting us. It was a good washing day. Sunrise was spectacular…
And so it is true. If you have a bad day, just hang in there. A better one is round the corner.
Psalm 91:1
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Dwell and rest.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
