A WALK IN THE PARK


Well, no, I have not heard from the doctor’s office about the potential problem with my lungs. However, I personally feel like things are much better.

I returned to Riverfront Park today and easily walked 1.8 miles at a lively pace marked by tunes from the Rolling Stones! I had no breathing problems or fatigue, and could have gone much further with some companionship.

Spring continues to come to the area with more 75+ weather and late afternoon thunder showers that watered the blooming flowers. We are over six inches below normal in rainfall and the fast passing rain showers will never make up the deficit.

Now, I have got to get my mower ready for spring as well, even though my shoulder is not quite ready for the task. I do go back to the doctor tomorrow for my five-week “post op” check up. Now will come the physical therapy, which I dread, but it is the only path back to full recovery.

Let me follow around behind you on the lawn mower with a three-tine pitch-fork, and I'll bet you can do 3.6 miles, and in record time, yet! (Works for me, with the wife on "the fork"! Even though my distance is more like one "short" mile every second or third day! But at least I still move, even if slow, but surely!)

Really. Seems like yesterday that you guys were in Jackson Hole. Glad to hear that you're feelin' better. We've had days in the 80s lately, and 3 inches of rain in the last few days. Bluebonnets are poppin' up all over the place. Should be a nice spring.

So glad to hear you feel better and that you actually can't wait to tackle that "honey do" list. Therapy can't come any sooner, ha!
