In the summer I took on a huge project of packing up my daughter in laws parents apartment. Long story but I was the only a available person to do this. I was in good shape and saved the huge book collection for last. I picked up and turned with a big box of books and apparently popped my right leg out of the place it should be in my hip. I thought I had hurt my back...carried on with the ongoing and what turned out to be an escalating crisis with my my (3 hr drive back and forth to various hospitals etc.) and basically every time I drove I was shoving my leg further into its incorrect position.

The damage was huge...spasming back muscles..abs collapsed...but still had to deal with my mums issues..pretty much all I did was try to get ok so I could drive that 3 hr marathon, deal with Drs, nurses, and my mum.

MrNoGeo had enough of my injury and hauled me off to a wonderful physiotherapist who realigned the leg....also realigned my spine (ouch) That was in December. Building on the exercises...have gone for walks this week..sure wish I could do a 10 Klm hike but so far 1 Klm is ok.

It has been a humbling experience to not be able to do what I expect to be able to do. Right now I am working on getting up off the floor without holding on to anything. One of the 3 exercises I do daily is a floor exercise. It is awesome but I realized I was looking for something to hold on to in order to stand up? Scary...so now I finish that exercise with hands free standing up....hard work, it is. 6 months of no activity has taken a toll.

Anyhow tomorrow is a gift and that is why we call it the present 🎁. Hope you see some spring 🌷 out here in lotus land everything is blooming and first hay cuts have been harvested.

Cheers, S
