You've got to expect a stumble or two along the way

Hi all,

I still have to pinch myself when I think about how well I am doing. As a result, I probably am doing too much and so today is a forced day of more rest and less activity due to much higher levels of pain. Time to begin watching all those movies in my queue on Netflix.

Yesterday, I had two long walks (about 1/2 hr each) and a visit with Dash, Lori, and Finley.  I found out that the rough sidewalks send vibrations up the walker and inti my bad arm which is very irritating to the nerves. So it looks like I will need to just walk around here holding on to someone's arm rather than using the walker.  I am interacting with the kids from a sofa or chair, but that still requires bending my head down which I am not supposed to do.

So by bedtime last night I was in a significant amount of pain and had a more restless night of sleep. Ice and a hydrocodone pill this morning helped some, but it's still a lot rougher than the past two days. So definitely a quiet movie day is in store..

Also, is anyone heading up to Portland in the next day or two? I need some things brought up from my house.

Thanks to all...keep sending those healing thoughts.
