United States@Mojo2013 I'm south of you in St Louis and finally broke down and turned the AC on yesterday because it got so humid. That storm system that is hitting you now came through this morning and cooled everything down so turned it off. Looks like we'll be having below average temps next week! I am feeling great because I went to the doctor yesterday and he released me to drive and get in the pool! Yippee! I was really feeling depressed on Tuesday and Wednesday and this is the best mood enhancer anyone can give me! I also found out that there is an aquatic physical therapy place not too far from me so I am cancelling home health and starting there next week. Plus I'll be going to my gym on my own. Still have to use the walker but I'm starting to take some sliding/shuffling steps across the kitchen without it. Feel like I am really starting to make progress! I did go to the doctor's office yesterday morning, and Costco and a pet store -- gotta get cat food! Both of the latter had electric scooters so that was finally fun. Then came home and cleaned the litterboxes and almost fell in one of them head first! Then I took a nap! Really feel good now. I know there will be more down times and periods of elevated pain and minor set backs and such but I am no longer house bound. I am also into birding so I can go out to some of the good places and either sit in my car or next to it in a chair and enjoy being outdoors.
Butt hurts from the hard wooden seat but I so enjoyed getting out on the water and seeing my friends. I've been safety boating at this event for years so I'm glad I was there. Planning to take it easy today and mostly sit in my comfy chair. Did make a batch of mini cinnamon banana bread loaves to eat and freeze. Still using the walker/rollator. I'm still having bursitis in my right hip and walking with the cane puts too much stress on it.
