First night home, rough. Slept 9 to about 1 am then finally dosed off not taking a pain pill. Back awake at 2:30 and too late to take a pain pill and still get them for pt at 8 am. Long, Long night. After getting home at 5:30 or so, I do not know how I made such a mess of my house, every room, and every chair, and I did not have it in me to clean. I did sort a pile of mail and shred that with info on, that was it, just did not have the umph to do any more. ---- weighed in at 203.4 and managed to get dressed, the only thing I have to wear are actually pj's, tried to find something else, look like a clown either way so went with the pj's. Ate an English muffin and took my pills, including the pain pills. 1/2 way to pt before they kicked in, waiting for 8am now and it is starting to ease up. -- Do not ever let anybody tell you this is a snap, they lie! In the end I think it will be worth the pain, but it is a lot worse than I thought it would be. -- Pt session went very good, I will have 3 sessions a week and to do 2 sets of exercises a day, plus lots of walking. I set this winter aside to do this, good thing, there sure isn't time to do anything else. -- After pt I drove down to Walmart in Brandon, once inside with a cart, the walking went pretty good. I had to get something that fit, 2 pair of shorts. Size 38, that is down from a 50 about a year ago. Still have a little ways to go. While in Walmart I also got a yoga mat to put on the floor so I can do the exercises. (now I have to find my floor). --- Sat down in the chair with my feet up and fell asleep for a while. After waking I tackled a walk, in our park we get the mail up on the first street in a mail room where the boxes are. I doubt that the walk is anywhere near a mile around and up to the boxes and back to my house, but right now it feels like it might have been 10 miles. Muscles in my legs below the knees are sore, I think the fact that it has been years since I have used these muscles is really starting to show, or should I say feel. -- I have not figured out how I am going to get off the floor after doing the exercises, there is just nothing to pull up from and I can not get on my knees to get up. With it being 4:30 in the afternoon and being this sore I think that I will try the exercises on the bed that I can. This is one of those things one changes their mind about a bunch before any action either way. Ah, another idea, maybe I can put the mat on the bed, ya, that is what I am going to try. --- It worked, it took a full hour to go through the exercises and I am really beat. It is 7 o'clock now and I have eaten supper, as much as I am going to anyway. If I sat here for another hour typing I think that it would end up nothing but complaining so I am going to close with the fact that it really did turn out to be a good day in as much as I lived through it and feel like I accomplished a little with the work outs. Till tomorrow.
