Slow but steady recovery

Hi there everyone!!

Well things are slow but going the right direction. The mornings are the best for me when I have the most leg strength (after a coffee that is). I can make it down the stairs from the second floor to the main but not ready to take on the basement stairs yet (concrete landing, no carpet and steeper). Getting up the stairs is better than before but certainly still more difficult. By bed time I use a lot of Sandy's strength to make it up them.

My puffiness from the steroids is still sticking around. Have gain 7 pounds since my big weight loss in the hospital. But sitting around and not getting out doing much walking (Rylie is complaining too) makes the weight gain easy. My hair is still showing up on the vanity which is a real concern to me. I will ask the Dr. when I see him next.

Nothing else on the home front.

Thanks for still reading this blog.

Love Carolin

PS Take the time to go for a nice walk in the fall colored trees for me. Maybe we will try to take my walker or wheelchair to Bowness on the weekend. I think the whole family would enjoy that - and the fact that Sandy always buys Jess and I ice cream. See what I mean about the weight gain - sit in a wheelchair and then have ice cream!!!
