Re: walking & moving. Just finished working in the garden planting flowers and raking. I did a lot of standing, bending, and walking back and forth to the dumpster. I have on three 5% lidocaine patches today. This is the 1st time I've used three patches at one time. It's my own darn fault I hurt today because I forgot to do my PT exercise yesterday and today. But I got the garden going. Hip hip hurray! And that's a happy emotional purge.

@cb3. That’s great that you were so active today but not great that it increased your pain. Maybe just do a little less tomorrow!

Hi cb, boy does that sound like my day I just looked at my pedometer - aside from a quick trip to PT early this morning, I never left our .3 acre yard today, but I recorded 5 miles and 180 minutes of activity gardening, weeding, repotting houseplants, supervising my helper, and running up and down stairs to keep him and 2 grands fed and watered. No wonder I'm tired tonight - I think I'll sleep well after a hot shower.
Tomorrow I'll finish setting the pavers around the rehabbed pond so I can put in the 3 flats of annuals left to plant. And finish setting up all the drip irrigation- it's bound to stop raining sooner or later.
Sunday we're planning a beach day and picnic, even though I have to keep my foot out of the water -boo!
