August Happiness Challenge -- Day 5

My 2024 Happiness Icon

Today's happiness: My team

You thought this was going to be about the Cubs, didn't you? Well, today I mean my medical team.

This morning my chiropractor squeezed me in to help with that "crunchy" back and my miserable knee. She suggested the massage therapist in her practice and I'm seeing him on Friday. It feels like she's committed to getting me comfortable and well again, and there's always time for me at her office.

 

A week ago Sunday I was in the ER after an extreme allergic reaction to a bug bite. The NP recommended a follow up with my dermatologist and I was able to get in this afternoon, no problem. He is satisfied with how it's healing and switched me from the prescription corticosteroid ointment to Cetaphil moisturizer. (He gave me the cutest teeny-tiny free samples.) I'm supposed to call his office next week and report my progress.

I am so happy to live where quality medical care is so readily available. I realize not everyone is as lucky as I am.

 

Happy August Happiness Challenge!

 

Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
