Conquered going down the steps

with the crutches. Haven't gotten going up all the way...the railing doesn't go up high enough, but I can do part of the way. I feel a big difference in my upper body strength this time around and little more confident. Little things make me happy!


Otherwise, nothing new around here. DH and DD finally got the message and did some cleaning. I think my sis yelled at them. Whatever...it worked. DH did notice the dust bunnies on the hardwood floors (finally). I don't feel guilty one bit...DD was off all this week and DH gets home early. Now to get them to actually mop the kitchen floor and get the sticky spots up.


No plans this weekend. Got to do something before I am cooped up all next week again. I am so glad they did some cleaning so I won't be tempted to do it. Whew!


Hope you all have a good weekend.

Hey Grace! Good for you...glad you have a sister who isn't afraid to use her voice...LoL. I hate those sticky spots on the kitchen floor too. Why don't they just wipe them up right away before they become sticky spots? I'll never understand that. Say, ask them if they will come and get the dust bunnies under my bed...

It must be so hard for you not to be able to do the things you want to, to be able to go out if you want to.I know you must look forward to when you get your life back to normal again.

Very cool about the upper body strength!!!That is a very good thing.

Take care.

I feel pretty good about the upper body strength. It is almost making up for the fact that my right thigh is getting smaller from not using it. I am trying to do some quad exercises with it but the muscle tone is going quickly. Thank goodness it comes back quickly...it did on my left side.


You take care too
