Good-bye and Hello

Good-bye to April

Welcome to May!
While April was kind of a vanilla month here May could be different.   I was going to say May may be different but that looks kind of weird for sure.

Perhaps the biggest thing for me in April was on the last day I did my 30th PT for my leg.  I would say after 30, a person gets more than a bit tired of it.  BUT as I step, jump, pull, bend and then repeat and repeat the hamstring sure lets me know that I NEED to do that.  I have five more sessions scheduled before we go.  I think at that point the Dr. will cut me loose from PT.

For May it is kind of full of things.

  • Over Mother's Day we will be out of town. 
  • On that trip we will see a friend from HS 
  • Both Terry and I see the Dr. on the 18th
  • The week of the 20th it will be packing to go
  • The week of the 20th I am hoping to play one or two tennis matches.  Nice and easy but really just to get on the courts and prove to myself I can still move a bit would be wonderful
  • On the 25th we take in our 2nd graduation of the month
  • On Terry's birthday, the 27th, we will be at the Grand Ole Opera Hotel in Nashville
  • Planning to spend 2 nights with Helen in Holiday Island AR
  • A night in IA to see Terry's son and his wife 
  • Then home to Niles Ave on the 1st of June (I know that doesn't qualify for May but)
Then as we get into June it will be all about plaster, painting, tearing out, planting and the list is pretty much endless.  Even though I am getting to the point of wanting to spend less time on the house and more time in my wood shop I still have to remember to be thankful for the physical ability to do things.  In PT I see so so many people who I am sure they will be happy IF they can get to the point of just walking normally.

I will be off to the courts at 8 this morning for 30 minutes of hitting the little yellow ball with the pro.  I went over to the club yesterday to pay the April bill and oh my those court times add up.  Today will be the last time I hit with him as any more and it may put me in the poor house!

Breakfast is history, FP is almost history so I am on to items of the day.
