After a tough Monday, I spent a great Tuesday with a lovely Italian dinner with my husband. I walked and climbed stairs and was fine. I didn't feel any warmth on my knee cap and the scar that was still itching once in a while has stopped.
This week is final week at my kids' high school. School starts at 8:30 and ends at noon so today instead of driving back home I stayed in town. My college daughter is staying with us for a few days so we went window shopping together, something a French woman always loves. I hadn't done it since a while and wasn't sure my legs would bear the three hours. But actually I was quite fine. We stopped for coffee mid morning but were up the rest of the time.
My knee has lost a lot of stiffness, and my gait is definitely better.
For Mother's Day, I received a gift certificate for a beauty treatment and I booked an appointment for a pedicure. My feet deserve a treat and a thank you. The last months have been tough on my entire body and I am looking forward to a slow pace morning at the beauty salon. I will pick a nice color for my nails to give me a boost.
I am feeling more confident today than I was on Monday and who knows maybe I will really skip the surgery I am dreading and just move on with more challenging physical therapy before complete healing.
Speaking of physical therapy remains me that I have only biked ten minutes early morning and did my leg exercises.
Off I am for fifty leg slides and hamstring stretches!
Anyway, I heard there is a chance Tioga Pass remains closed this year. It seems impossible but the rain we've got yesterday and the day before was more snow for the mountains.
Last year, I had to wait for Labor Day to climb my beloved Clouds Rest.
Perhaps there are some hiking gods after all.
