sundays are nice

Breakfast in bed! Well, I made it, but still lol. And watching Robin Williams HBO and then icing my leg. AND putting away laundry and the dishes in the dish washer. Blam. But I have yet to do homework, vacuuming, bathroom, or dusting. Sigh. And taking out the trash. ANNND getting a lamp cord, a calligraphy pen (for arabic) and an alarm clock :)

My leg is all right. I can go down stairs normally now, so long as I don't go too fast. My hamstring was stiff this morning, but oh well. I'm doing my exercises, but I can't seem to focus when I do them. Around the PT place, I just do it and BLAM an hour of exercises. But at home? No more than like 10 minutes if that lol... I can't focus. But I do what I'm supposed to, just not as much as I should. UGH. I need to do better. But I DO periodically do quad sets and bend my leg around. And while I'm cooking or waiting for water to boil or brushing my teeth or putting away clothes, I do hamstring curls and lunges and calf raises. So I'm trying.

That's really the hardest part. Just doing the exercises. UGH!
Okay, things to do.

Cheers all!

Ah, chores! At least you are never bored!

So happy to hear that you can now do stairs again! That's great!!!

Focusing problem...hmmm...would it help if you did your exercises at the NCSU gym around other folk also exercising?

Or, at home, how about a random DVD of people exercising, volume turned down low -- just for the right "mood"? Or turn the radio to the station they always have on at the PT, again to get your head in the right place? Just some random ideas.

Glad you are able to do some exercising while doing other chores! That's using your head! Way to multi-task!

Love, Mom
