My New Rabbit Trail

So somehow or other I got directed to a documentary called, "No Impact Man". Wow... I've watched it twice and read his book by the same title. Lots to think about. Some of it I'm not sure I could do but there's quite a bit I could. My mind is almost a constant whirl thinking about it...what could I do better...how would this affect our finances...and then there's the fact that probably my family would rebel against any attempts I made to simplify our lives. Things are not all well on the Mommy front. She's been really weak since her December hospital stay and has fallen a few times..Yesterday she couldn't get her right knee to support her but today seems to be doing a little better. I need to get her exercising more. All she wants to do is sleep but I think its because all she does is sleep. I'll be glad when the weather gets nicer so I can at least get her out into the yard in a lawn chair or laying the the hammock in the shade. Her dosage of Amiodarone has been halved so hopefully that will help her a little...she has an appointment with her Primary Care Physician the 25th so I'll be able to ask whether she still needs to be taking water pills...then she has a double appointment for Pulmonary the 27th which is also her 76th birthday. A pulmonary function test in the morning and then I'm thinking we'll do lunch and then the actual appointment with the pulmonary doctor in the afternoon..Its going to be a very long day for her but she's gonna have to tough it out. Other then that...not much going on. Still loving the snow we've been getting.
