Terrible night. The blend of exercises and the surgery make my leg ache all night long.
I see the hours go by and I finally stand up at 7:00 a.m. On a Saturday morning. What’s wrong with that?
My husband and my daughter will be away today, and I’m staying home with my son who has some homework to do.
I do my exercises, some icing and drink a good cup of coffee. Right after the surgery, I couldn’t stand coffee at all. I guess this is also improvement this return to familiarity. I miss my weekly long walk with my friend Wanda. I’ve stopped counting how many walks I’ve missed.
The good news is that an agent has asked to see one of my middle grade novels. It gives me hope.
This afternoon, I will do another session of exercises and try to walk a few steps. I will help my son to finish his English project.
Also the weather is gorgeous and we have lunch outside. Something I love to do as much as possible before the heat of the summer forces us inside.
I miss my life from before when everything was easy to do. My body has failed me and it is a hard thing to accept. But I see improvement and I trust the physical therapy to give me back my strength and confidence.
If only it could be done in a few weeks instead of a few months.
