I'm starting out with the ho-hum of staying in bed late, because there's cloud cover making it still look like 6 am.
Yesterday was my final of two things about my bod.
Last physical therapy session meant seeing where I've made improvement, and where I still am short of the abilities I could have. Since one of my original goals was to regularly walk around the lake, and I haven't done that, I missed it completely. My shoulders and arm reach have improved noticeably. And I feel more balanced just walking or climbing stairs.
But I'm still not able to stand on one foot, lift the other up into a stair and then distribute my weight up...especially going sideways. That balance routine escapes me.
And I had my last mammogram yesterday.
I asked the clerk when I'd had my last one, and she said just 2022. I said I didn't think we needed them that often, nor after a certain age. She said they now recommend a mammo yearly after age 40. I guess they are able to detect changes better that way. But I haven't ever had any questionable films, so I think it's time to graduate from that "joy." And I got the results already...nothing to worry about! Wheee!
I may (depending upon how I feel in a couple of hours) go to Sit-R-Cise. I'm meeting a young friend for lunch, and hope our older friend can also make it. She's been complaining of back pain, but thinks maybe some exercise might help.
