This week I sense that I am turning the corner. More and more joy is returning to my life. My right ankle and left shoulder continue to show improvement with range of motion. Laughing has become a pleasure again! The U-tube videos sent to cheer me up definitely did the job.
Thank goodness sneezing held off till now. I can handle it, but I'd rather not have to squeeze my face tight while placing a wrestler's hold on my left ribs to prevent a sneeze from coming fully out. Oh well....at least I am not having coughing fits.
The hardest day of the week was when I learned that I have a high grade ACL tear in my right knee. Now I am more accepting of that news despite knowing that my recovery could be prolonged. The results from my MRI indicate that the tear occurred due to my fall. I've been able to return to walking with the help of physio tape on my knee. I use my cane to make sure I don't fall.
I attempted getting in the pool for the first time on Christmas Eve. As the tears welled up, I felt hopeful for the start of a process that will eventually lead back to swimming laps. All I can do is walk and swing my arms for the time being.
The kitchen remodel is going well. The cabinets and new countertop are in as well as the plumbing. I only stayed away one night. I missed being home. The energy in our home gives me what I am needing-love, light and kitty kisses.
