for the last week one of my knees has been a bit sore, so I have been taking it pretty easy…

today I was able to get in for a haircut and I got dropped off so that I could get there right away…

happy to have a tidy and lighter head, lol…

I decided to walk home as I could call and get a ride if I needed it should my knee misbehave, although it hasn’t given me any twinges for the last day or so…

I walked on the dry sidewalk along Portage, but when I turned onto the side streets I used the middle of the road as the sidewalks were covered in ice…

happily I made it home without any pain…

it was overcast, but not too cold on Saturday, so I went out and was able to fill all the bird feeders…

even the one that I won’t be able to get to before too long, as the snow will make it difficult or impossible to reach, lol…

then I spent half an hour shovelling the driveway…

my grandson had done it awhile ago, but there were icy tire tracks on the slope so I broke them up and tossed the bits to the sides…

the next day my hamstrings and butt were a bit sore from all the bending as the metal shovel I was using was short, lol…

I will be happy when the tires get changed in a few weeks, but now the slope won’t be difficult to get up;-)…

Wednesday was a slow and bit of a downer day…

had a sore arm and felt kind of achy and just bleh… no doubt the result of the two needles in my arm the previous day…

wasn’t able to sleep and eventually spent time on the deck, wrapped in a blanket, reading…

even had a snack, which was a treat as I’ve been steering clear of extras for a while…

for the last few months my arm has been sore… between my elbow and shoulder… it was particularly bothersome when shampooing my hair…

I decided to see my physiotherapist once I got home from Maui, because it seemed to be getting worse, or not getting better…

while we were away, I mentioned this to my daughter…

she shared that one of her colleagues had the same problem and had just discovered that it was from using her phone…

oh dear…

while we were gone I didn’t use my phone nearly as much as normal, and it did appear to be improving…

since I’ve been home I’ve cut back on my phone usage… not near as many games of solitaire, lol…

still doing better, but I think the tv remote isn’t helping, lol…

right…

my goodness, crazy busy day…

woke up really early and watched a few tv shows…

had difficulty walking as my right knee has gone from a bit of discomfort to serious pain…

got ready and went for blood work for my next doctor’s appointment… I always try not to stress but it is difficult as I wonder if I’ve consumed the wrong foods which could have raised my A1C… the technician did a great job as I barely have a mark on my arm… yay…

was able to get in for a pedicure at the last minute and it went well… a few times I had to hold my leg as the aesthetician worked on it… she had lovely purple hair and is the most gentle person on staff…

then it was off to the physiotherapist office to see what they might be able to do to help my very sore knee… it had been uncomfortable for a while but in the last two days I have barely been able to walk…

he advised that is was inflamed but felt it was likely osteoarthritis… did lots of measuring, pushing and pulling and then used ultrasound and electricity on it… I have things to do three times a day and go back in a week… he mentioned that it was likely going to hurt a bit more after all his prodding… and he was right…

icing it as I write this… good news is that it should be much better by the time I head to Ottawa;-)…

woke up with a sore throat, which was unfortunate as some young friends were coming over about 9:30…

we had a lovely visit and I took these pics as they were leaving…

then I had a nap…

picked up by a friend, had lunch and went to a play at PTE… this one was called Mom’s the Word… 

it was cute and funny…

by the time we left the parking garage it was dark, sigh… got this shot of the house as I walked up to it… it really was dark…

still have a sore throat…

did something to my back yesterday morning… no idea what… have felt slightly off for a week or so… maybe this is my body’s way of dealing with not feeling well…

by the end of the day it was difficult to move… had the seat on the highest level of heat as I drove home to see if that would help… felt lovely…

lay down as soon as I got in and decided to order supper because I just couldn’t imagine making it…

first time since starting with ChefsPlate that I’ve ordered from SkiptheDishes… I usually enjoy experimenting with making the meals…

enjoyed half of the fish and chips and then went to bed…

during the day getting up after sitting for a while and starting to walk is always the most difficult… still sore today but I have worked through… 

had the remainder of the fish and chips and am planning to climb into bed and sleep in tomorrow…

slept fairly well last night considering how sore my knee was… woke up yesterday morning and it had a bit of a twinge… went to yoga and might have twisted it…

last night I iced it for a while and did wonder if I’d be able to walk on it this morning…

as I rolled out of bed carefully I was reminded of how difficult it was to maneuver after my surgery… and how much I missed George being there to look after me…

the knee was fairly sore but as long as I was on it, it was pretty good… decided I could do a bit on the treadmill but I walked rather slowly…

  
mainly sore when I stand up after sitting for a while… makes me limp a bit when I start moving, lol…

plan to take it easy for the next few days and get it back into shape…

so tonight I treated myself to fish and chips… been craving them for a couple of weeks…

  
sure do love SkiptheDishes… it was delicious and I have half left over for tomorrow’s dinner…

happily discovered that I had the short form census so got that completed in about five minutes…
