SO sore... but I easily did three laps of the ramp, so whatever I did in the last few days was apparently good for me-- maybe the long tour of the nursing home next county over, which got me so whipped, took me to this next level. I hope soon to extend off the ramp and into the driveway with the dog, but we are due for a thaw/refreeze cycle so that will not be good for me for playtime for a week or so.

I discovered a stool we had that is tiny enough to fit our tiny shower but large enough for my butt, so I rinsed the PT ouchies out with a good soaking shower. But I am not going in to the Sat. nite svc-- I am saving these tired ole legs to get up to my BED tonight! After I take a warm nap!

The step-ups were pretty awful-- weak leg (left) is the same leg now almost-numb from the surgery, so THAT side did NOT want to do the 3 reps I told it to do. Oh well. We know the muscles are in there and just need to recondition, but yikes!

It is so weird having energy (thyroid, metabolism), but no stamina!!!


Hardi was late with hospital visits this afternoon. Have birdseed, but the feeder goes up tomorrow. We enjoyed a hockey game instead!
