I'm walking is coming back! I walked to the end of the block and back! Yoo-hoo!
Knee is a bit shaky still, so watching the distance. But every day I go farther! Except today.
Today I hurt! No taper off the solumedol, every muscle hurts.
Thinking is coming back again to, I think! 🤔🤗💕🦈
Pics are my Lilli's for my granddaughter 💕 and my friends roses!
Keep up the good work! Feel better soon.
Good News 👍. Stay strong 🙏😉 Ken 🐾🐾

Good job! You are on a roll! No keeping a good gal down!
I am happy for you!
The flowers are beautiful, as always.
Keep walking! Little by little, step by step, and you will be back to your self! 
🚶🚶♀️🚶 I be cleaning this morning!😂🤣🤗💕🦈
There you go ~ and about that wild and crazy party last night...
Awesome Jesmcd2 ! Great progress!
Are you taking anything to help it?
Wonderful. Keep it up even if you can't go the full distance as the day before. Don't give up.
Never give up! That's pretty much not in my vocabulary! ☺️ Yours either!!!! 🤗💕🦈
One step at a time. Step after step, just keep adding to them with time. Keep it up!
Working on it! Making it half way around before I feel like my knee is going to give out! And a sledgehammer hits! Steroids s*ck! 🤣🤗💕🦈

WOO HOO! Keep on keeping on!
Almost called you! But didn't want to wake you at 4am! 🤣😂🤗💕
Well, you would've found me up. My old pup Maggie, needs to go out about that time every morning...which means, I too get up. And since she's a creature of habit, when she comes in, she's ready for her breakfast. Though she goes back to sleep afterwards, I don't /can't. Here's what I have to do today: move 150# of hen feed to the shed, finish a batch of pickles, make two more loaves of zucchini bread and then think about doing my exercises (and maybe do them) so I don't lie to PT when he asks if I have been doing them. I made 7 pints of bread and butter pickles Friday, another batch today, and then I'll start on dill spears with the remaining cukes. Tomorrow, another friend is giving me a dozen ears of corn for corn relish. When gardeners share their bounty, I feel honor bound to thank them! Until I manage to trap and eliminate all the meadow mice and field mice that came up into my raised beds, I can grow only those plants they don't like. Here's that short list of veggies they spurn: garlic, onions, oregano, sage, tomatoes. Here's what they decimated: carrots, leeks, chard, beans, beets, cabbages. This winter, I have to empty out the raised bed boxes, tip them over, and wire the bottoms before refilling. It's too daunting a task to think about until the weather changes. Now to get out and move that feed before the temp hits 80. I'll post separately about PT's effect on my balance, gait, and recovery.
Mmmk you do that, I'ma gonna sit here like I got hit with a Mac truck! 😭🤣😂🤗💕🦈
I said nothing about speed. Here's how I do it: I keep a flat nursery wagon on the porch, take it down the ramp to the back of my little suv, drag one bag out of the trunk onto the wagon, haul the wagon to the shed, go into the shed, get the saucer with tow rope out, push that down the ramp there, wrestle the feed sack onto the saucer, go up the steps into the shed, grab the tow rope, pull the 50# up the ramp, wrestle the bag into position against the wall, and repeat for two more. It's why I don't feel as if I have lied when the PTist asks me if I did my exercises. Now I am sipping my cold coffee and getting ready to heat the water kettle for the pickles. But notice that I haven't started that yet!
You do more than the whole Army does BEFORE 9am! You are amazing!
I need to keep moving. Perhaps it is fear that if I stop I won't be able to get going again. But it's not long bursts of energy anymore. I do a job, then rest a bit, then do the next short job. Little by little...
Yes, little by little us the way to go. It's amazing what can be accomplished that way.
Hooray for the walking!
Jesmcd2 . So glad to hear your doing better. Keep up the good work.
Donnie
That’s ok Jesmcd2 . I haven’t been around much anyway. Yeah we’re still hanging on. Sometimes by a thread but hanging in just the same.
Thanks for thinking of us.
Donnie
Yay! Hooray! So happy to hear the walking is coming back, and the thinking, too. Keep up the good work, but don’t overdo it!
Don't overdo the walking or thinking?🤔😂 How are you doing? 🤗🤔💕🦈
😂. Don’t overdo the walking. I’m doing well, but today will be a test...have jury duty today 😩. As there is construction at the courthouse, there will be a fair amount of walking to even get into it. For sure, they won’t want me to be a juror, because after not sleeping all night 😳 and walking forever in the Texas heat (it’s 93 at 6:30 AM and the sun’s not up yet). , my brain will not be hitting on all cylinders. You keep up the good work and I’ll let you know how I survive.
Hooray! So glad you're walking better. Keep it going. Your thinking too. You are in my prayers. Blessings❤becky
That's great news! Keep up the good work.
Jessie
