Woke up at 6:00am to have my Boost. I look forward to having my Boost since I know the drink is filled with nutrients which will feed my body. 
Through out the day, I tried to walk and exercise my legs. 
Took my first shower without Steve Help. Takes a lot of energy. 
9:00am- Took my blood thinner and at 12pm-  Took my target pill.

Woke up at 5:30 am to have my Boost. It wasn’t the greatest photo of the sunrise. But it didn’t matter to me. It is the first time in a long time that I saw the sun rise. 

9:00am- took my blood thinner pill
12:00pm- Took my target pill 
1:00pm- Steve took me for a Sunday drive. It was nice to get out however very tiring.

6:00am-  woke up to have my Boost. Then I laid down 
in the sunroom for an hour. Thanks to my daughter and her coworkout friends for #sweatforLise. 
Actually, an EMS vehicle pulled into my driveway. 

Steve and I wondered why. It ended up being someone who went to school with my daughter and lives in Fort Erie. We spent a lot of time with her when the girls rowed in high school. 
12.00pm- Took my target pills. 

Bedtime tonight 7:30 pm. I am exhausted.

Prayers will get me thru this.  January 2, 2023 4:30am- I just can’t believe how much I sleep in 24 hrs.
