Today is Tuesday, August 8, 2023 and it was a long day. I woke up knowing that I had 4 appointments today but I honestly didn’t think I would be this exhausted by the day’s end. Let’s start at the very beginning…I had the pleasure of having my supportive daughter, Shaikha, join me at PMR…

Today is Monday, August 7, 2023 and I’m so glad I’m feeling better. Although I’m still not 100%, I’m happy I’m getting my energy and strength back slowly, slowly. The virus I caught last week really threw me off, physically and emotionally…But I know that challenging times only make us stronger. On today’s agenda, PMR…I…

Today is Sunday, August 6, 2023 and I’m so thankful I woke up feeling better. I really caught up on my rest during the weekend by doing absolutely nothing. Although I woke up this morning happy knowing that I’m finally going to go back to PMR for my PT and OT sessions after 10 days…

Today is Thursday, August 3, 2023 and I didn’t post anything yesterday because there was nothing to post. I literally did nothing…I was on the couch from morning until night, feeling super fatigued and just hoping to get better. Hey, at least I moved out of the bedroom for a change. This hasn’t been an…

Today is Tuesday, August 1, 2023 and I can’t believe we’re in the month of August already. I really, really, really hoped I’d wake up feeling better today…And I thought I was for a second there. I even managed to shower and feel a little refreshed…But then it set in…exhaustion, headache, fatigue, and let’s not…

Today is Monday, July 30, 2023 and it’s day 2 of me being in bed. I was really hoping to wake up feeling better but unfortunately I’m still really out of it…My body feels extremely fatigued, I have a massive headache that won’t go away no matter what type of pain reliever I take, and…

Today is Sunday, July 30, 2023 and it’s not a good day. As much as I tried to take it easy this weekend and catch up on my rest I’m still not feeling good physically. I’ve been feeling fatigued and not really in the mood to do anything. I’m also feeling drained on an emotional…

Today is Thursday, July 27, 2023 and I woke up feeling draaained. I contemplated whether to go to PMR or not but I remembered both my therapists saying they wanted to work on stretching today and I felt like my muscles really needed that. Unfortunately I had yet another night where my sleep wasn’t that…

Today is Wednesday, July 26, 2023 and although I had just two appointments for the day, I feel exhausted. I think the heat doesn’t help and drains a lot of my energy as well. The temperatures have been spiking world-wide these days and Kuwait has been no exception. Back to today’s appointments…I arrived at PMR…

Today is Tuesday, July 25, 2023 and it’s the mid-week mark where I start feeling the fatigue from the past few days catching up with me. Today’s appointments included physical therapy, occupation therapy and later in the afternoon, mental therapy. I was awake by 6:15 am this morning and got an early start to the…

Today is Monday, July 24, 2023 and I only had physical therapy for the day! Woohoo! It’s always fun when I randomly get a day like today where I just have one appointment…Such a relief. I arrived at 10:00 am at PMR and we went straight to work. Today’s challenge was adding the ankle weights…

Today is Sunday, July 23, 2023 and I have a full week ahead of me. The good thing is my spirits have soared with the return of the kids so I’m pumped and ready for the work this week. The long weekend was great and of course the highlight was the kids’ arrival on Thursday!…

Today is Tuesday, July 18, 2023 and I’m thrilled for the 2-day Islamic New Year holiday tomorrow and after tomorrow. Although it was a short week, the past few days have been really overwhelming. I also haven’t been feeling that great emotionally, and that’s manifested in me physically. Hopefully I’ll get some rest this long…

Today is Monday, July 17, 2023 and what a day it was…I knew it was going to be a busy day but I didn’t expect to be this exhausted by the time all my appointments were over! Let’s back track and start from the beginning…I woke up at 5:30 am, another early morning wake up,…

Today is Sunday, July 16, 2023 and it’s the beginning of a short week here. I woke up at 5:00 am anticipating my early morning start. The first thing on the agenda today was my weekly bloodwork at Amiri Hospital. We arrived at 7:25 am and I was in the laboratory by 7:30 drawing blood.…

Today is Thursday, July 13, 2023 and I knew it was going to be a busy day. Unfortunately I didn’t get enough sleep last night so I woke up a little on the fatigued side…But it’s Thursday so YAY! My first appointment for the day was my follow-up with my nutritionist at Amiri Hospital at…

Today is Wednesday, July 12, 2023 and I woke up early from a restful sleep after yesterday’s strenuous work. I believe the water exercises also played a big role in helping me get a good nights’ sleep so yay to hydro therapy for that! My intention for the day was to take it easy and…

Today is Tuesday, July 11, 2023 and it was the day for my ‘family meeting’ which was scheduled at PMR at 9:30 am. This meeting typically takes place at the beginning of the program at the Daily Care unit that I’m in but the supervisor was away and then the Eid holiday was almost a…

Today is Monday, July 10, 2023 and the countdown has begun…Hopefully my kids will be back in 10 days and I can’t wait! Woohoo!!! This is the longest I’ve ever been apart from them and I miss them so much…They’ve been having such a great time there and that’s been the one thing keeping me…

Today is Sunday, July 9, 2023 and it’s the start of a full week ahead. Before we talk about today let’s briefly talk about the weekend! I hope everyone got to enjoy their weekend with family and friends like I did. I got to spend lovely quality time with some family, some very dear-to-my-heart longtime…
