I forgot to write yesterday. We had a quiet day at home and didn’t do much. Today we went to church this morning and than stopped at Panera’s for lunch on the way home. We sat with some friends of Jim’s who go to his church and had stopped for lunch too.
We took a nap this afternoon. It had rained overnight and was still rainy this afternoon and was a perfect afternoon to take a nap. I may not be able to sleep tonight but I will take sleep whenever it finds me.
Tomorrow afternoon I start physical therapy. I hope it won’t hurt too much. I had worked on moving my big toe up and down last night while I was taking my bath and it hurt off and on during the night. It hasn’t hurt today so far.
I have finished another set of tea towels and have a second set finished. This time of sitting is becoming productive. Too bad I don’t really need any more tea towels. Oh well, I will find a home for them sometime, somewhere. I may need to visit a yarn store to find me something else to do until I come back home early September.
My body is starting to show signs I have not been moving it much. I haven’t been on a scale for a bit so don’t know if I have gained weight or not. My body feels saggy and like it is losing tone. My sore leg looks smaller than the other one like it has lost muscle tone from not being used. I sure would love to go take a two or three mile hike. I am almost halfway done with the need for crutches so just have to hang in there a bit longer and I will have this.
Starting to feel a bit out of touch with others. Being on crutches feels a bit isolating to me.
Grateful for afternoon naps, grateful for healing, and grateful I am almost halfway through this time on crutches.
