Wiz and me

I had such a nice time visiting Wizard last week! Look at how graceful and pretty he is! I just love the way he is walking with me. I hope to ride him again sometime. I think I could do it now but I am waiting a bit more. Even though I don't see him often, I can tell we are still friends and he is glad to see me. Of course bringing a couple of pieces of watermelon may have something to do with that!!

Starting to exercise

I'm committing to doing a yoga or exercise tape every day. So this is day two. I'm just taking the time while OH goes to the gym. I don't go with him because he take 1 1/2 hours. I also got out my foam roller today after doing my tape but it was probably not a good idea because I have to mostly use my arms (bent) for support. I'll still do it a bit every few days. I also want to start walking as much as possible but still have pain in my heel (using a gel pad there).

Ho hum, also studying French a lot. For this Thursday night's class, we each have to bring in three "goofy" items of clothing or accessories. So far I plan to bring my totally cool bee shoes, my aluminum foil diamond tiara (made by the kids - not sure which one though!) and maybe a Christmas ornament hanging on a string for a necklace. The ornament is a lobster in a pot!



Getting my hair dyed and cut tomorrow - way overdue. My stylist is no longer there so I have to start all over again with another person. And I am terrible at explaining what I want. I bring pics but it doesn't always help. We'll see what happens.

Doing better.

Not to jinx myself but my right hand is symptom-free. My left hand is so much better. I had PT yesterday and have 2 exercises that I am supposed to do every hour. Right. Doctor has cleared me to do whatever I want, even yoga and riding but riding will have to wait until my shingles symptoms go away or get much better. Those affect the nerve in my right leg from my hip to foot. I can ignore it during the day but need pain meds at night when there is nothing to distract me from it.

I can't really do whatever I want because I am still supposed to keep my arms and wrists straight as much possible. Maybe in another month. We'll see.
