5 Days Out … Christmas 2022

It’s now 5 days out from Christmas 2022 and this is the first Christmas in my “forever home“. It is going to be a relatively low-key event for me this year. One of the neighbours in my unit block (there is only 4 units within the block) have invited me to go to his for Christmas Lunch, but I don’t think I should as there would be people coming and going most of the time, and I know none of them. I think it might be a bit much for me, I will have to wait and see what happens.

Right now, at writing this it’s currently 1.27am and I have had another rough night. This is the norm for me nearly every night. I have a late afternoon, early evening nap and wake up early morning in pain. I have just over 24 hours until my next Doctors appt. where I will be getting my next months pain medication supply, this month has been tight as I am running very low and it is highly possible, I might run out just before. I have already arranged with my Chemist to make sure they have the right amount in stock for Wednesday morning when I need to pick them up.

I am making plans for 2023 and am hoping that it will be a year where things start coming together and I will be able to get the use of my prosthetic leg and hopefully get my waterproof one so I can start swimming again. There is a lot of things that I want to do in the new year … but I suppose it is something that I will have to wait and see how things come along.

Anyway, enough for now, I am planning for 2023 to make posts a lot more often then they have been as of late. I am going to try to set a schedule to stick too. It will be an interesting year ahead that is for sure.
