Yesterday was another lovely sunny day with a high of 7C. This morning it is raining and 1C (did go to -1C). Today is suppose to be wet with a high of 6C.
Lifestyle
I decided that I needed to tidy up the clutter and got it all put away. I then did a bit of vacuuming and mopping. By a bit I mean 20 minutes total. It didn't do any more damage as I made sure I was taking short strokes.
Once I was done the housework, I was out to return Advil I had bought. The seal was broken on the bottle. The pharmacist figured someone opened the box and bottle to see what the pills looked like. It was classified as contaminated and replaced. I also got one gift while in that area. I drove to another area and walked a bit about another gift. They sent me to another shop and I will get the gift there today. By that time I was tired due to my hips being sore.
I spent a lot of time with heat on my SI joints and inner thighs. I also got up to walk around so I wouldn't be ultra sore. I use heat as that is what both physio and osteo tell me to do. I wasn't as sore during the day but my gait was horrible. I felt like I was not striding when walking but gimping along. It was a strange walk that I didn't have even when I first started treatment. I kept wondering if my left SI joint was slightly out of place.
While settling down and doing stretching exercises in bed, I had a loud crack in the left SI joint. It was seating itself into place. Immediate relief. The right side had a small crack and I settled down to sleep. This morning, the right side is still a bit sore but the left side is fine. I am now dealing with only the right SI joint and sore muscles which will improve over time. Yoga will become my best friend and I look forward to the day I can do it on the floor rather than on the bed.
Crafting
I made 5 reindeer holders yesterday. I used my Cricut to cut out the heads and then glued the eyes and antlers onto the bodies.
Knitting
I didn't knit last night as I was tired.
Thoughts
I am much improved this morning though I am still sore. I think part is one SI joint needs to continue setting into place and the other is muscles that are tight from having to do extra work. I will keep working on loosening them up with yoga and stretching.
I am watching our weather carefully so I can get everything done by tomorrow afternoon. The snow starts tomorrow night and ends on Saturday. They are predicting it could be up to 5" which means I will be busy shovelling snow off and on until the job is done. I am hoping it will be dry snow which is easier to remove.
I am behind on most things at the moment but am trying to do some each day to get caught up. It has been hard with the set back but I refuse to give up. I just have to adjust how long it takes me to do things, realize that I get exhausted, and need to take breaks.
Today
I need to fold laundry and wrap a few gifts before heading out to get the last of the gifts. This afternoon, I would like to finish the reindeer. If time, I may set up the sewing machine to start the binding on the quilt. Tonight I hope to knit if I am not too tired.
Until the next time...........................................................
