May 14--"Monster Walking"

I am thankful for the blessings of this day and for the miracles that are yet to unfold.  --Mary Davis

    The first blessing and miracle of the day is that we are here breathing and primed (with coffee) for another day on planet Earth. Some of us will flow through it with ease; others will slog through it. It's a choice, and we can choose differently at any moment of the day. I am especially thankful for being able to sleep comfortably in my own bed after weeks of sleeping in a recliner.
    I have adopted this affirmation: "I am stronger every day." At PT this past Monday, the therapist started working with stretchy bands around my legs doing "monster walking." Given the sciatica-induced weakness in my left leg, these are very challenging. These are, however, the exercises that will restore my balance and get me back to pickleball. 
    It's time to do those exercises!

My MELT band, roller and balls
are a huge part of my recovery!
