I am in more pain every day. I think because I’m almost at the end of my prednisone pack. I’m guessing the inflammation is coming back. I will never take my ability to walk for granted again. Not being able to get around is killing me. I can’t stand long enough to cook. Thank goodness my mom made some pork in the crock pot last night, at least I have lunch for a couple of days. I’m going to attempt to make a chicken dish in the crock pot tomorrow so I have some options for lunch and dinner. I just need to cook some bacon. I can do that in the oven so minimal standing.

I’ve been reading up on my surgery and it seems that I may not need physical therapy afterward but I need to walk. I’m glad it’s getting warmer out, that will give me the motivation to get outside and walk as often as possible. Hell maybe I’ll lose weight. That would be nice.

I’m kind of glad that it looks like I’ll be skipping my spring hypomania this year. Being hypomanic and house/couch bound would be a special mind of torture, I think. Plus no good for my bank account!
