Thanks for liking my pics. My sister a d brother-in-law always gave me the 'look' like I was being a bother. At the last family holiday I ever attended, I brought a big picture book I made of a trip, excited to share it. I would wait until there was a lull and bring it up to show. Each time, they (my sister, especially) just looked at me and went on to something else as if I hadn't said a word. 3x at least. It was hurtful. Guess I've been thinking about that. Sorry to project it on to you, my chosen sisters.

Had a new evaluation at PT yesterday, shifting the focus to balance since my back is good as long as I do my exercises and don't sit all day. I can't stand on one foot past the count of 1 or 2. It's incredible. Sounds like the cane will be in use on my trip. And, I still can't get to my feet from a fall unless there is something to lean on or hold onto. I honestly thought I'd be able to do it when push came to shove but, when I fell in the backyard ( not sure I posted this but I was throwing a toy for Cosette. As I pitched forward to throw it, I went down with it...in the muddy backyard. Had to crawl around dog poop to get to a tree to help me up), I thought for sure I'd be able to get up. Nope! It's as much my elbows as anything. I just can't put that much pressure on them to push up.

Driving to my office in a bit. I want to get some treatment plans done and I concentrate better when I am there. Besides, even though it's 25 minutes away, I love my office.
