This weekend I knuckled down and started seriously attempting the exercises in the final phase of the physiotherapy recovery programme. I am delighted to report that I can do three of those final five exercises very well. The other two are still impossible to execute because they involve the same under developed muscle group involved in preventing me from putting full weight on my operated leg for more than a few seconds. I see the physiotherapist in a couple of days so I am hoping for more suggestions on improving the development of those muscles. Discovering it is only the one muscle group that is lagging behind is encouraging as I can now concentrate my recovery efforts there.
Sunday’s sermon at church was helpful, as it was about the wisdom given in Proverbs in regard to the necessity of controlling anger. Even after all these years I still struggle with taking my anger to God first, before I react. I am encouraged that there has been a certain amount of transformation from my formerly anger driven life over the years, but I don’t mind admitting I still need God’s help sometimes. Our pastor was honest about some of his own anger issues so he certainly did not have a “holier than thou” presentation.
My husband and I went to Caraway Grill for lunch afterward. We haven’t been there in quite some time. Our chicken vindaloo and lamb curry lunch specials were very tasty, but we are certain all the sauces, as is the case in many restaurants are prepared ahead of time and the meat added at the time of meal service. While we are sure DarBar likely has to do the same thing, somehow their meats seem to be better infused with the sauces for a more complex flavour. The food at Caraway Grill was very good, we just seem to be maintaining our preference for the flavours at DarBar. Also their naan is far better than what we had yesterday. Maybe we are just old and stuck in our ways……
Last night my husband attended our pastor and his family’s annual summer block party bbq. He had a great time. I stayed home as there is no way I can sit in our fold up lawn chairs. My husband was also concerned about wasps hovering about the plates of food. He got a good walk there and back, about five kilometres so that was a bonus for him.
Laundry day today. I seem to have an horrendous amount of it once again. While my husband is having a meeting this morning, I will concentrate on physio, then get started on the washing as soon as he is free again to assist me in getting all the clothes to the basement. I am so relieved not to have to worry about any more wasps invading the laundry space! Whew! I want to take advantage of a cooler day today and tomorrow before a brutally warm forecast midweek.
