My back has started to feel a little bit better. I just have minimal pain and also pain when sitting for extended periods of time.Which for me, is considered anything over 10 minutes.
I have been doing my exercises diligently and have continued to add new ones and more repetitions each day and while these adjustments are small, I do feel the effects in a positive way. I do not enjoy doing them however I do enjoy being able to walk around the field again without significant pain.
Let’s be clear I do not like exercise but the exercises that they have me doing are tolerable. I think that’s the key. You have to do exercises that aren’t too painful or too obnoxious for your body to handle. Most of my exercises are done lay down. I can handle this. I actually will do them. My physical therapist gave me an exercise to do on my hands and knees and I flat out refused. It was terrible excruciating and I hated it and I flat out told her no way give me something different.
This evening, our power went mostly out. Paul shut off the breaker to avoid damage to anything. But prior to, our lights were dim and things were looking so good. We are about one of 57 people that lost power. Grrrr. This happens so frequently.
I was chilly. So I told Paul that I was going up to bed. Penny took it upon herself to escort me to my room and then snuggle under the covers. She puts off some good heat and it warmed me up. Win-in for us both!
The power came back and n around 10/24
