After a good day and lots of activity (without a cane) yesterday, I must admit to having a bit of soreness today, but I'm sure that after my day of rest and (maybe, possibly, hopefully) some good rest overnight, I'll be ready for physical therapy tomorrow morning.
We loved the beautiful weather today, and it encouraged us to be outside during much of the day. Well, of course, Stan was outside a lot more than I was, but I spent a good bit of time this morning "repopulating" my car with all the stuff that I like to keep in my personal car. That necessitated being in the garage and in the driveway, and also doing a bit of lollygagging in and around the back patio. I spent some of the afternoon reading and napping, then got up and cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned out the refrigerator, and cooked a big pot of chicken gnocchi soup.
By 5:15-ish, Stan had the fire pit piled up with wood, so we took snacks and drinks to the back porch to watch the fire as the sun went down. An hour or so later, we got big bowls of hot soup which we ate beside the fire, then spent yet another hour watching the fire gradually die down to embers. What a lovely day it was and, fortunately, I didn't have to do anything except keep my leg iced and elevated while I was inside, and when I was doing that, I got to lounge by the fire. Not a bad way to spend a day! Let's hope my residual stiffness is gone by tomorrow morning and I'm ready to tackle physical therapy again!
