Thank you so very much! I’m so encouraged now and will follow your advice about easing back in to work. I really do enjoy it - it’s so beautiful here in St Augustine, Florida. I may pull out the Voltaren gel that helped so much prior to my right knee partial replacement.
My husband, David, does so much at home and has been so protective of me - I literally badgered him to help yesterday. To his credit, today he’s refrained from saying “I told you so” lol.
I so appreciate your words of wisdom and your time to respond so thoroughly.
You perform a great service here and I so hope you and your health are doing well now.

I learned (again) this week that I am no longer and Energizer Bunny. I had meetings and errands Monday, then did over 5 hours of fairly heavy yard work on Tuesday & Wednesday along with miscellaneous chores. Yesterday way an 11 hour marathon - 2 groups of indigo dyers, and a dye bath to manage - the first group just needed mentoring, but the second was hands-on for four hours. Extremely satisfying, but also tiring. Used to be able to go like that for weeks on end, with only Sunday for rest.
Umm... today I took a day off - breakfast out and errands with my husband, steak fry (by him) and now crashed into my recliner for the night. My body says tomorrow will be another light day.
