THANKSGIVING

I went to the doctor Tuesday and he seems to think I am on track. I am impatient but I believe I am getting stronger and the very sharp pain seems to be gone. The doctor says he is glad because he really wouldn't know what was causing that. Dr W says not to baby myself. So feel beter about the 1/2 mile I did on the bike path - which left me in quite a bit of pain the next day. He also said to alternate between ice and heat. I have only been icing.

I have abandoned the boot completely. The crutches,boot and walker now into attic. (I am too surperstitous to get rid of them completely.) Mostly wearing my hiking boots.
Out of town for quite a few days. My husbands sister passed away after a long illness. A sad time for us.
I have come down with a bad cold or something uky so have not been back to my stationary bike routine but am feeling like I can go a while. I am doing little stints on my treadmile at almost its slowest setting.
I now have a car I can drive. It is a fun zippy car, old but hopefully will be ok for a while. I have a new sense of freedom.
Driving, no boot and walking better. Still - no hike in my near future.

Now must address the 4 pounds I have gained. Porbably more in fat terms since I have lost muscle.
