Got on the treadmill this morning. My knee screamed at the one mile mark so I wrapped it up. Even at the very flattest level there is still a bit of an incline on that machine, not much, but enough to hurt it. The knee hyperextends and collapses from time to time so that doesn't help. Still it is safer than walking on 50th street. Tomorrow, I'll try for a mile and a half.
Got most of the week's cleaning done today. The laundry is caught up, folded and put away. Feels great to feel good enough to do those things.
Now that I'm feeling better my schedule is rapidly filling up. Tomorrow is White Cane Training. Wednesday is Occupational Therapy, followed by the Annual Boob Squash aka the Yearly Mammogram. Thursday is the first visit with my Shrink in quite awhile. Hey, at least some of that gets me out of the house for awhile.
Speaking of getting out of the house, there are more weeds than flowers in my gardens. I need to get those pulled and feed some MiracleGro to the plants that are supposed to be there.
My butterfly orchid bloomed yesterday and there are two more buds ready to open. Very pretty, and I am excited to see it flourish. After having it for almost a year I had pretty much given up on it ever blooming. Once the fig and key lime trees are large enough, I'd like to grow orchids on them. The vanilla orchids are lovely and provide vanilla bean pods. They are on my list of plants that I'd like to grow as well as a cinnamon tree.
So far it's a terrific week and I'm truly enjoying myself.
