Hey Y'all I'm still verticle and taking nourishment. Playing a little pool at the Senior Center and using the treadmill to help build my stamina. I'm up to about a half mile in about 10 minutes, I'll keep increasing that little by little depending on how it feels as I go along.
I got brave Friday coming home and made the boss switch places with me and drove her car the 1/2 mile of our private drive home. Then Saturday I got really froggy and mowed about a 1/4 acre patch I call the deer pasture, drove my Dodge P/U to get the mail and newspaper. Today I mowed another 3/4 acre or so including the dog's yard. I know I've done something different but I don't feel like I've over done it. Some of those bumps were a bit uncomfortable which is why I didn't push it any farther.
My rider mower is a life saver, I couldn't do it at all with a push mower. I may drive myself to town tomorrow, we'll see how I feel then. One thing about all this activity it made me feel less of an invalid, and maybe useful after all. The word invalid means without validity usefulness value or worth. No wonder sick people feel so crappy!
I know it gave me a boost, and it makes me feel like I'm making progress, which sitting around the house all day doesn't help a whole lot. I've been getting some good e mail from some of you and the jokes and beautiful photos brighten my days. The nice part is I can view them and it doesn't take a whole lot out of my energy if I'm feeling low on gas that day. Writing has been the hard part and that is improving too, I was having a hard time thinking of what I wanted to say, and my hands were so shaky it was difficult to type and I spent as much timefixing typos as I was writing.
Well that's about it for now.
Gabby
