Hi! I am so pleased to tell you that I have ''graduated'' from sitting sadly on my deck,
to being able to take small teeny tiny walks outside! Hooray. Most days I can even pull on my swimsuit [not so easy with painful wrist/ hand!] and dip into the cold pool.
The pain is hovering still, waiting to pounce if I so much a bend the wrong way, but the cocktail of biologics, pain meds, rest, and prednisone devised by the rheumatologist has worked well enough that the excruciating pain is ''gone''. Sort of. I guess ''less'' is a better term? I can sleep a little now, without waking from the sudden jerks of pain.
I am so hopeful and my little daily walks and swims are my baby steps to rehabbing myself, looking forward to being functional again.
Let's all cross our fingers! I took some pics on today's adventure round the block:
Not a great hydrangea year, too bad.
Crape myrtle?
Cinnamon Sunflower.
My lavender has rebloomed!
A nice shady bench for me and Mo! Someday.
My faithful little friend! I bet he misses our walks as much as I do.
Mo led his dogwalker to his beloved bench by the beach entrance. She said he hopped right up ans smiled! I hope I can join them soon. Another friend brings him there most evenings. Mo jumps up, doesn't even need his leash!
love
lizzy
