Happy first Monday in May!! It's promising to be sunny here....and we do need sun! Mr. Seventies has advised we will take a short stroll today....complete with walker in tow! I'm getting around great....inside I seldom use the walker or cane...
Physio appointments only twice this week...fine with me as I found three times a bit much! My physiotherapist is extremely pleased with my progress....so there is that....
And....the staples were removed! Did they hurt coming out? They sure did...imagine twisting the skin on your arm...and tugging it hard at the same time! That's what I compared it to! The nurse in charge of removal was good....but all business...not coddling or babying from her. She had a job to do...no mater what!
And the best new of all!! I'm able to shower! And did I shower! It felt so good! Today, I'm required to book an x-ray of the knee in preparation for another appointment with my orthosurgeon later in the month. He advised my knee is healing great - even showed me a computerized 3D version of my knee....yup...I think I'm bionic now! (or titanium at least)....
And our other patient...is slowly recovering...not much in the way of energy....she sleeps about 90% of the time....but her little body needs to heal & get well!
She currently weights 12.6 lbs.....down from original 14 lbs or so. But at least we can get her to eat the moist dog food....we'll take that as a win! Hopefully, she will join us on our little outing today....fresh air & sun shine are a great healer...
I'm hoping this sunflower wreath will look nice on the front door....found it on FB Marketplace a few weeks back....should add a pop of colour....
That's about all the news from our little patch of the world! We've been planning what annuals we want to fill our window boxes with this year....and we have a list compiled! Hopefully, in a couple of weeks we can visit one of the greenhouses....the temporary ones are up & open now! They always are open early here - in anticipation! Us...not so much. Not into babysitting plants until they can be planted themselves!
John me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday!
And tomorrow with Joanne over at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesday as well as https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday!
Thanks so much for checking in with me today....I so greatly appreciate you spending time with me! Have an awesome day....
Til next time....
Oh wow Charlotte - you must be so pleased with your progress - it all sounds so great. 20 staples - yikes. I'll bet that shower felt fantastic! I'm so glad Liesel is recovering too, albeit a bit slower. Sweet girl. The sunflower wreath is adorable - such happy flowers. Take care over there my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!! It's a process...wish I could move it along a bit faster.....lol. It's been a rough few weeks....but we're plodding through! We've had so much rain the last few weeks...beginning to feel pretty soggy! Hope you are doing well, my friend!!
DeleteWow! That's a lot of staples! I am glad you are able to move easier now: keep up the good work to get all of your mobility back. That wreath is really pretty! Such a happy piece for the door!
