Had a good visit on Thursday. The doctor is pleased but when he asked me to walk told me I must take big steps. This takes an effort that will result in back pain if I just shuffle along. I found that to be very true when I woke up this morning with so much back pain I could not sit or stand or move.
To get better I went back to bed and felt much better and was able to enjoy a visit from a friend. She was the kind of friend who ignores the mess and can make me laugh.
She is going to come and make us lunch tomorrow. There is a lot of food being dropped off. Soup salad desert etc. The frig. is full and overflowing right now. Too bad I do not feel quite up to having a party.
I know I am getting better because I notice the dust gathering on the furniture.
Dad dropped off some used stuff to the Salvation Army and picked up a couple of shirts. He wanted something not as warm as a sweater.
We had a visit from Pat and John who had taken advantage of the sunny afternoon and went walking in the Watershed Park.
I am looking forward to doing a short walk in the first sunny break in the next few days.
Life can seem unfair at times but hope springs eternal. I believe that we can create our own hope that sees the good in the knowledge that there will be better days ahead!

Big bold steps and strides as you get back to your regular life.
I have not looked at the weather forecast but hopefully the sun pokes out.

I really hope you will not go alone on your short walk. I think walking is a good thing, and I know you love it. But you need to have someone go with you.
Although I have said this before, I am slowly getting better physically with the new antibiotics. But I seem to be having mental confusion or depression, or whatever it is.
This all seems so odd, as Christmas Day was a lovely day and I felt good in all ways, and now I don't. Don't understand it.
Very sad news about Mary and Michael-John.
Love,

Rick I can relate to that and it is scary.
Taking medication can have side affects.
I am glad you made it down when you did.
We both need sunshine and fresh air.
Love Mom
