The latest health update is that I caught up on sleep last night. My blood sugar seems stable, but my head feels congested, like someone is inflating a balloon inside my skull. 

There wasn't much happening around here today. I finally picked out a mini fridge from Amazon because I have so much medicine to refrigerate. Getting the mini fridge will let me take that stuff out of the kitchen. 

We did get fantastic news late in the afternoon when our friend who had surgery texted to let us know he was finally awake and conscious. Hal and I were concerned about him, and we sent all the positive energy we could. 

My sense of relief was palpable. I didn't realize how much stress I accumulated thinking about our friend. My discomfort is nothing compared to his. I am grateful he is recovering, and I must control my tendency to approach everything from my point of view only. 

My friend, if you read this, know that, first and foremost, I’m glad you’re still here. 

Be kind to each other.
