On a happy note…

 A quick happy note this evening – – I went to my fourth physical therapy appointment for my knee today and I earned a gold star. Unfortunately the PT didn’t have any gold stars, but he said if he did I would get one for “doing the work”.

Truth be told, I am not a great patient – –my cells do their magic on their own (though I do give them thanks and praise!), while I only do about half of my exercises – – but starting from nothing, this is enough for noticeable improvement, and it is starting to build as I get strong enough to be able to get stronger, if that makes sense?

 I mean, being injured and in pain, it was hard to start to exercise, and it takes a while to get feeling better, and then it all starts to take hold, become possible… gets easier, even if I’m actually working harder.

So that’s cheering! 

I just got back from a nice evening walk with bink and her dog, Astro – – we went and sat at the park on the Earth – – she’d been feeling a little disembodied, and there’s nothing like sitting on the planet to be literally grounded.

It’s good to be in our bodies.

I have three more PT appointments, one every two weeks – – I hope that now I am in less pain (a lot less!), I will be able to focus more on getting stronger.

Take good care of yourselves, as you are able.
