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.
