(#5777) I am almost to the finish line

      About two weeks ago I saw that the next two weeks were going to be busy for me. Well I am one day away now from that busyness concluding and it is satisfying that I have upheld my end. Today I work my last shift and then tomorrow I go in for surgery. I have done all I can do to prepare for it and that is an accomplishment. On Thursday I will be with family taking it as easy as possible. Then Friday and Saturday back at home resting for my work shift on Sunday. Then no work until Wednesday. So after today's shift and tomorrow's surgery I will be well situated to do little but rest.
     My work is part time but I have been pushing for any extra hours in order to handle the bill of my property taxes. That part is now done so after today I can focus on the surgery on my right wrist. I am prepared for that as well as I know as a right handed person some things for a few weeks will be tougher to accomplish than in normal situations. The first week after the surgery has been laid out by me for as minimal usage of my wrist as necessary. Which should give me a bit more usage the next week. Then the stitches come out. Slowly but surely I will work myself back into a more regular form and then within the next two months I will repeat the surgery process on my left wrist.
     For now though getting to the threshold of this latest block of time has been good. I like that I plan things as best I can with little to no expectation. I just do my normal things and let time take care of the rest. When I get to an end time like now I look up and see that things have gone to plan well enough. So with no big surprises today and tomorrow, I will have gotten what I need in the most prioritized areas of my life. I don't know how much more time I have left in existence but at least I want to increase the ease of what is possible as I go forward. Relieving painful pressures off my wrists and getting back to having a firm grip on things is positive and as well a metaphor for the rest of the troubles in my and our lives.
