jennlkVery much fall today, after a weekend of very warm. Rain this AM before dawn, occasional sprinkles as I went erranding, chilly (45F/6C) and damp. No evidence of Friday the 13th, other than a black cat crossing my path, but as he does that every day, I'm not counting that.
Today turned out to be the last day of PT. They've decided that there's really nothing more they can do, as range of motion and strength (as tested) is 'within normal limits', and is pretty much balanced with my other shoulder (which is also messed up, so that's not saying a lot). Keep doing the exercises, add reps as able, when you get to 50 reps on an exercise, go up a weight/increase resistance; if you have any questions email; if it gets worse, call the doc. It's way better than it was, but I still need to work on strength/endurance and stuff like that, but that will only come with time, and I don't need to be going to PT to do it. I have a full range of exercises to do - they asked me to list off the exercises that I remembered, and I'd only forgotten one - from early in this round of PT, and it was never written in to the HEP. Now it is.
Errands were errands. Mostly groceries, rather than last week's housewares. Went to Costco twice this week - Tuesday I was out and right there, and stopped in to get the things on the Costco list, and then today Meijer was out of a thing that I buy there if I'm not going to Costco. So I went to Costco to buy it today. (It's just down the road a bit, so it's not a huge inconvenience.) Cider mill and gas rounded out the errands.
I ordered some stuff from JoAnn's on-line, and after I got home they sent me the email saying it was ready to be picked up. They only hold stuff for 3 days, so I guess I'm going there this weekend.
J is blaming DB for finishing off his bag of M&Ms. I'm pretty sure it's not DB -- multiple 'just a handful' servings add up -- but if it makes J feel better....
I got a lot of the garden weeded and cut back while the weather was nice. I am now done for the year, unless we get another warm spell. Well, other than raking up the carpet of willow leaves, which I will do after it's done dropping them. That should be this weekend, probably Sunday unless we get more wind today or tomorrow.
I ordered new glasses on Tuesday, and they told me that it'll be about 3 weeks to get them back - the lab is running with a limited staff presence, and they hold orders for three days before they even open them. sigh. Good thing I don't need them fast. (The old frames are beginning to fall apart - Flexon frames are supposed to be pretty good, but this is the second frame for these lenses, and they're only 3 years old!)
Winter birds are arriving, although birdseed consumption is still pretty low - that's because the farmer went through with the combine, and there's plenty of cracked corn in the field and soybeans in the field across the street,
