Afternoon all. Kinda afternoon segueing into evening.

I started back on PT today. Kind of worried that I lost ground with everything that happened the past 3 weeks. Nope. Actually gained 5 degrees on 2 measurements for range of motion and 10 degrees on two while 2 stayed the same. Guess me doing my exercises in DH's hospital room paid off. Told my therapist that I should have just gone down to their PT center and asked if I could hang out for a bit and do all my exercises. Therapist said that he knows the head of the PT dept. at Liberty Hospital, he could have called and arranged that for me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I do have tendonitis in my biceps though as I suspected. So I'm going to ice it down and keep slathering Voltarin on it.He was going to send a report to my surgeon and mention it so maybe the surgeon will show me some mercy and order a Toradol shot for me or maybe some Prednisolone...nah, the guys a drill sergeant. I'm sure he would just tell me to walk it off...again.

@Cynthia12. I hope doggo is okay. Praying it isn't anything worse than kidney/bladder stones. When I was a teen my family had a little Spitz mix who developed kidney stones and the first we knew about it she was peeing bright red blood. Keeping my fingers crossed along with the prayers.

Whst package, Gracie? Is there a puppy or a pony in it?

Glad you are making good progress, @microchick! Just wish it didn't have to hurt...

Good evening. Did the big loop with Brew. Not the 2 hour one but just in the neighborhood but still. Much longer than our usual. Did I say this already?

Whoo. Walking for two hours would totally wipe me out! I'm doing good to walk a one-tenth of a mile lap around my house, and I'm about ready to collapse when I do that! Mostly bc of the heat and humidity... but I CAN do it, so that is definitely progress!

Last night I walked late in the evening when it was cool. And this morning my blood sugar was UNDER 100!!! So I am going to do it again. Last week I had a day with my highest BS yet, at 165. Yikes. Can't have that.

Yeah, it wipes me out too which is why I haven’t done it in forever.

Me too!

My therapist told me that driving will cause pain faster than anything because no matter what position I put my hand in on the steering wheel, my arm was going to eventually cramp up and cause pain.

That wasn't very reassuring.
