Well Friday was one of my best days thus far as I actually did a little garden work and sat outside in the warm sunshine after a chilly start with temps in the low 50's with a stiff breeze. I went the whole day without any meds until last night when I take the one pain pill that taken only at bedtime. Well a big difference occurred when I pulled the truck into the garage after Nancy got home from grand daughter Ava's basketball game as I had to maneuver or twist getting out of the cab and then things went down hill quickly after a hot shower. Yeow, is all I can say with the terrible pain coming back into the right knee, so much so I had to move back into the spare room for the night to lay my knee on a pillow. I eventually got an ice pack on the back to calm the nerve going to the right knee and did get a little sleep, oh well.
I had started the day with my usual routines after a good nights sleep on Thursday night and felt great except for the constant dull ache in the lower back. The knee felt normal for a change. I did my quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and then lifted up several by name for comfort and healing myself included. All seem to be holding with this post. After a lite breakfast I headed out to the garden to move some lettuce seedlings into 6 packs as well as some cilantro seedlings. I then used a shovel and turned over some weeds that were taking over my garden, but I wore my back brace and took it easy. I then hand watered the gardens and sat outside in the warm sunshine for a couple hours. I felt like maybe I had turned the corner and could get back to some light work and exercise.
The physical therapist comes this morning for a session who is supposed to be awesome as several family members brag on her expertise. I certainly hope she is worth the money for one session as she comes from the Tampa area, LATER
