Tuesday, May 12

7:35 a.m. - That was better!  I got a good night's sleep last night.  I went to sleep a little later - around 10 p.m., and yesterday wasn't as "physical" with as much walking as I had done the previous two days.  I still woke up at 3 a.m. to use the bathroom, and I didn't go right back to sleep, but I wasn't as uncomfortable, and I took an Extra Strength Tylenol, and got back to sleep within an hour I think.  

That was all after a day that included me getting to school for a couple of hours from about 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., and I attended the BOE meeting that started at 6:30.  I would have skipped it, but I needed to make a student of the month presentation to the BOE and I wanted to do that.  

Also yesterday, I went downstairs and tried to start back to complete some exercise with dumb bells.  That felt good to do.

Monday, May 11

 8:30 a.m. - Last night was rough.  I'm able to sleep from about 9 p.m. - 2 p.m. and then I wake up and the discomfort in the leg is just too much and I can't get back to sleep. I even tried to go back to bed this morning after eating some breakfast and taking the meds, and I couldn't sleep.  Maybe I just tried to push the leg too much the last couple of days.  I'm going to try to head to IC Elementary from 11-1 today and see how it goes.  Then I'm going to head to the BOE meeting this evening and stay as long as I can.

Yesterday was a nice day.  We managed to get the yard mowed - Amber did the push mowing - most of it, and that helped a lot.  I wasn't sure how the rider mower was going to go, but I managed.  After that we went to Aunt Mary's and had a nice lunch with family for Mother's Day.  Then it was back home to relax.

Sunday, May 10 - Happy Mother's Day!

 7:10 a.m. - It's Mother's Day, and I have many wonderful mothers around me, so I've already sent a text message to all of them to wish them a good day!  

Yesterday, after running the errands in the morning, I stayed in the house and just rested.  Amber went to Tucker's game, so she rode with Jack and Rhonda, and then later on Darren stopped and we watched some of the Cubs game - Cubs lost...the streak of 10 in a row is over.  I did make it downstairs (and back up) yesterday, so that was an improvement.  I've got a lot of stiffness in the leg, and I'm starting to worry about flexibility...it's not going to be fun going to that first PT appointment - I think I'm going to start exercises and stretches today.  I'll make up my blue room bed and review my exercises paperwork and start doing my own sessions.  

Later today, I plan on going to Aunt Mary's for a Mother's Day luncheon.  This morning, Amber is going to breakfast, so maybe I'll do those exercises then.  Perhaps I'll be taking Amber to the casino later on this afternoon/evening.
