I have decided to make some changes in the way I write in my journal. I need it to be writing a diary daily. So what if my routine does not change from day to day? I have a routine set up. My goal is to walk again, and I will begin therapy on May 9, 2023, at Mercy rehab therapy. I can not have therapy come into my home because there are Medicare A and B and Mercy bills Part A. If Medicare A is billed, my caregivers can not get paid because IRIS — a self-directed, independent program bills Medicare Part A when paying my workers. IRIS also bills Medicare Part A, not Medicaid. As far as insurance goes, insurance can get sticky and tricky. Many people can not even get certain meds and care with insurance. I will not say how I feel about insurance — Medicare Part A and Part A. I do not think it is not fair sometimes, is all I can say.
I have no idea how my diary will look when I do write a journal that is from January 2024 through to December 2024. Sometimes I have nothing to say, but that is okay. I want to write daily, and the need to write does help the soul. I need to talk to Jesus/God more as well, also. I try different ways of writing to please the genre of writing. I write in a journal and call it My Life in Words at Dear Diary online at ksmiley.deardiary.net. I have other places where I write, but I am doing my best at weaning them down the sites to eliminate the cost. Some domains are expensive these days. I will keep Grammarly and Dear Diary subscriptions. I have been with Dear Diary since 2001. I believe that finding Dear Diary online was not an accident. I think it was meant to be placed for me to be. I have been with Dear Diary for a long time. Twenty-two years is a long time. A $3 monthly fee to use Dear Diary to have an account is worth it—no complaints from me.
Sometimes when I write, my mind switches the topic to another one, and getting an answer to a question goes in circles. Yes, sometimes I go in circles in my conversation. I do not do it on purpose; I wonder what is wrong with me when I do not give the answer someone needs or wants. It is frustrating for the parties involved.
There are going to be some changes happening. On May 9, 2023, I started therapy again at Mercy Rehabilitation Center Janesville; the center is nearby the clinic I go for dialysis three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I have been using my power chair for trips. The weather has been halfway decent now Spring is here. I will not take my power chair out in the rain and snowy days.
I think I will be getting my brace on May 8, 2023. On May 9, 2023, I will begin therapy. I am not giving up. I can not give up, nor will I.
