It snowed today, again. It was very cold and windy, but so nice and cozy in the house. This fine day, I made myself take ONE step. One without holding on to anything. It was a Frankenstein step, not smooth and buttery like I walk in my dreams. Then I took a few more. No, it didn't end up like a fairy tale with me just walking all over the place. It was scary, and it felt strange, but I did take those steps. (This was written yesterday, then last night I dreamt I was walking all over so smoothly, and I yelled for Char to video it for the blog, but she couldn't find any phone...)
Dinner: I marinated some pork chops in vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary. Then dried them off, coated them in olive oil, a little bit of brown sugar, more seasonings, and baked them in a hot oven, along with a pan of stuffing. Pork chops are not my favorite, but they're $1.39 a pound, and if you season them up nicely, and get the fat crisped up, they're good.
Miss Juniper thinks when I lie down to do heel slides and leg lifts, it's time for her to relax on my tummy.
Not much else going on here right now, so you all have a good day! Stay warm!
And, now it is today. Friday. It's very cold here, in the teens, and we got at least eight inches of new snow last night. The roads are bad, school was cancelled, and the older kids saw lots of accidents on their ways into work this morning. So, my PT was cancelled, boo hoo, ha. I'm looking at it like: three days to work hard. I have taken a few more steps, but the knee is still very stiff and unforgiving, so I did all my warm ups and work outs and stretches this morning, then walked just a little, a few steps. I don't want to rush it and fall, I'm just glad it's moving in the right direction. One ray of hope lightens everything.

It's snowing like crazy here and supposed to continue all weekend.
Kaia is just adorable.
Hooray for the step - keep it up!
Thank you for the snow video! I may play it on a loop! I know you have had your share, and are ready probably ready for spring, but here in Maryland I am waiting for a flake! Or two!!! It is weird because it is sunny and looks like spring, but cold as heck and if I am going to be indoors, I wish there were snow! I know. The world has much bigger problems than my weather woes! Congratulations on that very first step! And enjoy those sweet babes! And your furry ones too!
That snow is beautiful! I could sit and watch snow fall for hours. Who am I kidding? I HAVE watched snow fall for hours! Getting up in the middle of the night, fixing some hot tea, sitting in the dark and watching out our big dining room window... it's so peaceful.
Good for you for taking a few steps. Not pushing too hard, but still trying. Your dream made me smile - you were walking all over but your daughter couldn't find a phone. You know THAT wasn't reality! :)
You have good looking four legged companions!
Pretty snow, keeping you in prayer, Della. smiles
Thank you all for kind words and prayers, those steps haven't gotten easier yet, but I will keep taking them! Snow...it's snowing again, lovely, but ugh!!!
Good on you for taking those steps. It sounds like a lovely day at home and how great to have an extra dog and Sonja and Kaia visiting.
We are vacationing in Australia. It is nice and warm 85-90. What a welcome change. Makes me remember that winter doesn't last forever.
I do not miss snow. Can't even imagine it now, after 36 years in Florida. Kaia is adorable and good for you getting those steps in!! Stay tough, Della! You've got this!
Hi Della! All those steps add up! You are definitely getting there one step at a time 🥰 Baby Kaia is just sooooooo adorable. What a dolly she is. And Juni looks like a toy.
I hope Cheryl is improving. We’re all praying for her……and for you too 💕
We have -10C this morning and they are calling for some snow later. It is going to get colder over the next few days 🥶🥶 I heard they had a bit of snow in Florida! I wonder if Terri got any at her place 😬
Have a wonderful day 😊
