Daily Update, September 9, 2024

On Monday, I called my doctor and left a message about resuming physical therapy. Later, I found a message from them. They've ordered physical therapy and leave it me to follow up on it. They suggested starting with calling Life Care Center Physical Therapy the next day if they don't call me first. {smile}

I also texted my counsellor, saying I had my computer back, and could have a session. We made an appointment for 2pm the same day. When @pm came around, I had my appointment. I thought it went well. We talked about some things I've been working out about my future, as well as how to handle my computer situation in light of recent troubles and concerns. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was sitting up when i went in, despite my starting late. She even spoke a couple of times, so I redid some of the short things I did yesterday. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. That didn't get repeated. Next, I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019, starting with rereading what I read yesterday, and continuing to finish the letter. After that, I continued _Picture Book Babies_, showing her the pictures and reading a couple of facts about babies to on every double page spread. Again, I started by rereading what I'd read yesterday, and continuing on a few more pages. Then I repeated the introduction to _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_, following it with the title page, table of contents, and first story, I ended with the 9th of September's story, "Lullaby," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. No repetition there. {Smile}

After dinner, I did my arm resistance exercises and my head exercises. After a short break, I did my arm swinging exercises, too. After teaming for most of the evening, I did the ten easier walking exercises before it got too late. {Smile}

Around phone calls, I played Cross Stitch World in the morning, as well as right after counselling, Then I wrote up Sunday's daily update before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies and Kitten. We three teamed up, and Dennis soon joined us. We played until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I did some exercises and read a few short comics before I began writing this up Then I read one longer comic before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found kitten with a younger player on a low-level villain. I joined them, and we did a few missions. Then the younger player left. Kitten wanted to continue but was just too tired. Just after we figured that out, Chrome came on and said hi. We ran a few of his missions, finishing a story arc. TheCyberChill joined us for the last mission. Then Dennis left. TheCyberchill debated what to do next and decided to just relax. So, I worked on paperwork, exercised, and made notes to write this from. I did sneak in a shopping break to order a cooling pad for the laptop on Amazon. The way it was heating up, it definitely needs one. It probably needs to be used less often for shorter periods, too. {rueful smile}
