My Actifit Report Card: July 4 2025 - Bouncing back, pain and all

I still try to stay occupied and keep going, even when things don't go the way I want, expect or wish.

Sitting still and alone doesn't do me any good. That's when I start to ponder too much.

That's why I like being around people and doing things, even if they are hard for my health occasionally.

These days, my leg is hurting and making me uncomfortable more and more.

I got deep vein thrombosis two years ago because of two clots in my leg.

It makes it tougher for blood to flow back from my leg to my heart.

This has recently made my leg swollen and painful, prompting me to wear my compression stocking.

This is also anything but comfortable.

I didn't trust the increasing symptoms, so I had a check-up with my GP this morning.

In the past, I would wait too long with symptoms, but I've learned that sometimes it's better not to adopt a wait-and-see attitude but to take immediate action to prevent further deterioration.

And it's a good thing I did, because my doctor deemed it necessary to take further action.

I'm going back this afternoon for a blood test.

After this doctor's visit, the picnic organized for the last day of school was a welcome distraction.

The morning went by quickly because I was among kids and their families.

There was love, happiness, and laughter all around the playground.

Some thrill-seekers had the most fun on the zip line, flying by.

The blood test was on my lunch break, but a trained nurse made it quick.

Next week, I'll know the results.

We'll just wait and hope for the best.

The kids had a great time in the bouncy castle that was leased only for the last day of school.

Some babies even had the courage to go on the bouncy castle for a little while and squealed with joy as they bounced back and forth.

At the conclusion of the day, I also got a lot of nice gifts from parents and kids.

A way to wish me a nice summer holiday and thank me for the past year.

So many sweet cards and delicious sweets.

The appreciation they expressed makes my heart swell with pride and love.

So grateful that I get to do this work.

I ended the evening with some exercise.

A short bike ride to my practice grounds.

This Sunday, the biggest event in all of Limburg, I dare say, is planned: the OLS (Old Limburg Shotgun Festival).

And to achieve good results there, you naturally have to practice.

Goodnight everyone, and wishing you a healthy tomorrow.

Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
