WE DID IT!! WE WENT TO THE "Y" TO START OUR EXERCISE ROUTINE!!

MY SISTER VICKIE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING ME TO START TAKING BETTER CARE OF MY SELF.  SO VICKIE AND I AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER NEIGHBOR (MARTHA) WILL BE GOING THREE TIMES A WEEK TO THE "Y".  HOW DID MY FIRST VISIT GO??  WELL, THE STRETCH CLASS WENT PRETTY WELL, BUT WHEN WE WENT TO THE BALANCE CLASS-I HAD A MINI EPISODE OF THE MENIER'S, BECAUSE OF ALL THE MOTION IN THE ROOM IN FRONT OF A WALL TO WALL MIRROR.  WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE FOR NEXT TIME, AND WE WILL TRY THAT AND SEE IF I CAN STILL DO THAT CLASS.  IF NOT, THERE ARE PLENTY OTHER CLASSES TO CHOOSE FROM FOR SENIORS. I GUESS THE MAIN THING IS TO START DOING SOMETHING!!  I SLEPT OK FOR THE MOST PART LAST NIGHT.  GOT UP AROUND 2 OR 3A.M., AND DECIDED TO TAKE A SLEEPING PILL AS I WAS WIDE AWAKE.  I THEN SLEPT TILL AROUND 6:30A.M., AND AM FEELING PRETTY GOOD (SO FAR).  I HAVE A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT THIS AM, AND THEY WILL DRAW MORE BLOOD (ON A COMPLETE FAST THIS TIME) AS THEY DID NOT LIKE THE RESULTS OF THE LAST ONE.  ANY HOW, I HAVE ALSO BEEN TRYING TO EAT HEALTHIER, AND MY DAUGHTER FONDA, MY SISTER VICKIE, AND MARTHA, ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO HELP ME.  I HAD A BETTER DAY MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY YESTERDAY, BUT I KNOW I STILL HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD.  WHEN YOU SPEND EVERY WAKING MOMENT WITH THE SAME PERSON FOR SO MANY YEARS, THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF LOSS.  I EVEN THOUGHT I SAW MIKE WHEN I FIRST WOKE UP YESTERDAY (STILL HAD SLEEP IN MY EYES I GUESS, AS IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WHITE PAIR OF SHOES HIGH UP ON MY SHOE RACK.  I FELT SO STUPID FOR CALLING OUT HIS NAME ONCE I REALIZED I WAS TALKING TO A PAIR OF SHOES!!! I HOPE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHY I DON'T DO TOO MUCH PHONE CALLING RIGHT NOW-I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME TALKING ABOUT MIKE, AND HOW I AM DOING.  THAT'S WHY I WRITE THE BLOG, SO PEOPLE CAN STILL SEE THAT I AM STILL DOING WHAT I CAN, AND HOLDING OFF ON THINGS THAT I KNOW WILL MAKE ME CRY.  I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT JAKKI AND BABY MINKA WENT HOME YESTERDAY.  I KNOW THEY WERE ALL HAPPY TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL-ESPECIALLY LITTLE MINKA.  WELL, I DO NEED TO GET READY FOR MY DR.'S VISIT, SO TILL TOMORROW-HANG IN THERE-THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO!! JUST ME
