No Heavy Meds Today!

Instead of waking at the usual 6:00 am to take a morphine pill today, I slept until Paul's alarm woke me at 6:45. I really wasn't sure to expect today, after all my physical therapist worked muscles that are no longer aware that they are supposed to be used in my "core" and "glutes". I am sore from the new exercises, but feel very good otherwise! I could feel when the advil was wearing off though.
I forgot to mention that I was able to go to Katie's water polo game last night; she played on the JV team for the first time. I have not been able to go to any of her games this season, so it was very exciting! I stood for a while, then sat, and eventually went to the locker room to lay down on those tiny benches made for skinny teenage buns. My mother in law stayed by my side as I maneuvered to lay on my back. It was quite a sight! It worked though. I just need to lay down for a few minutes to gain enough strength to last for an hour standing or sitting alternately.
Thank you to Teresa for driving me to PT yesterday, and for Audrey and Teresa for strolling around my track with me today. :)
