@lioness & @sueinmn I walked 1/4th mile yesterday. Of course, part of that was walking in the house. My husband told me at the end I was not dong steps. I got tired out. I may not go out today. My daughter is picking me up for lunch and then I have a hair appt. Thank your comments. I feel cutting down on Tramadol in a week is not good, but that is what my surgeon wanted plus to walk more. I'm going to send a message to see if I'm walking far enough or too much. I'm hurting on my left side today. By my L-4 & 5 out to my buttocks. I think it's just muscle, but I hope I didn't pull a screw out yesterday. Thanks for your comments. They mean a lot to me.

I actually got out while it was still coolish! Ran into several friends and we just went around the neighborhood and then the park. By then, it was too hot for Poppy so we came home. I think I like @fiesty76 ’s idea of walking in a big store. Good for my feet, but bad for my wallet and health!

@lilypaws - Once, when I was rehabbing from a knee injuury & surgery, I was beyond impatient to get better. A very wise therapist asked "How long since it was hurt?" I told him 6 months. He said, "Well, then, if you are all better in a year, I'll be happy - it can take a long time to heal a long-standing problem." I did therapy twice a day for 6 months, then once a day for 6 more & at the end of 1 year it was almost as good as before the injury.
So, patience is key! Hang in there
Sue
