Baby Steps

I had to get up very early today to make it to OT (Occupational Therapy) and work on my arm movement, post-surgery. It was painful, but we discovered last week that I'm losing momentum so must keep moving it from side to side. Typing is an issue, but its turns out it's GOOD therapy. So I'll keep writing.

I walked on my new leg today. I didn't notice any difference at all. I don't know if that's good or bad. My right ankle (my only real ankle) was acting up. It's always something. But you do what you can. I walked several laps, did the rowing machine, the elliptical, and then decided I should stop before I overdid it. That's something many of us have to keep an eye on. Sometimes you feel so strong in the mornings, and then even stronger after a little PT and end up flat on your back in agony by evening, popping pain meds.
