The day after

Just a reminder of what is to come in a few months!

I would post a picture of my 11 inch scar which looks great but people may not be interested!!!

Yesterday was my first day "post" walker.  I am fine but I admit I over did it.  I had PT at 7:45 which was tiring, then Terry and I did some shopping at Costco and then I had an appt at 3:00 PM.  As I arrived home from the library after PT I was exhausted and my legs were tired.  I was able to stay up until 9:30 which I felt was a victory because the night before I headed to bed way too early.  The freedom to walk again in a normal way is overwhelming.  Sounds crazy but it is true.  This morning as I looked at e-mails and my FP needed refilling I just got up and walked to the kitchen rather than stand, turn my walker around and hop.  Then with a full cup of coffee I needed to travel the distance back to the computer slowly and carefully.  NO MORE.
We tackle the second half of our tennis league today.  Our opponent is the "kissing cousin" kind of thing as we share the bottom of the league!!!  Really the standings this winter do not make any difference but I feel today is a time to show improvement IF there is any!  I feel we are a much better team now than in January but we will find out today.  Of course you never know what kind of team will show up.  Here there is tennis, family visiting, trips and much more so the question is what kind of team will we play.  Last week they were 0 for 3 in their match but I have no idea who showed up and who will show up today.  We will see in a few hours.  I do know that because we asked for a 4th court they said we should share in the cost of drinks and snacks so for 2 extra players and one extra pitcher of beer we give them a $20 bill!!!  Unusual but I do want to get as many guys on the court as possible.
I look at my calendar on the wall near the computer and see that February is slipping away.  A week from today we say farewell to February and a week from tomorrow we welcome March.  When I look at the weather on my phone and see places like South Bend, Madison, Cayuga, Rapid City and more I really wonder if we are in late February as the temps look too cold but then perhaps March will bring warmer temps.
Enough for now as the FP is gone and I will go to the courts for a short time.
