Limitations

Life throws us all curve balls sometimes. This issue with my knees has slowed me down. I am not going to talk about it all the time, I am not a complainer, just saying I have limitations now. And it is frustrating. But nothing I can do but wait it out and let time heal.
I will try to stay positive and focus on what I can do. I can still watch the birds, give them water, and take photos. I sat out in the screen room most of the morning with my coffee and cats. It was a cool morning but lots of sunshine. Now they have gone to their beds for the day.
Any plans for today? Is the weather nice in your world?

Yes, life can change things suddenly for anyone of us and some things that we enjoyed doing may not be possible anymore. I have been told that we can't stop the wind from blowing but we can adjust the sails and some adjustments may not be what we wanted.

The weather is great at the moment, we have storm's rolling in for later.
I hope the pain leaves soon and that you get feeling better.

You are not a complainer nor a Debbie Downer. You will heal and soon.
It is gorgeous here today, but I have been stuck inside texting back and forth with my son and his wife since returning from golf. They are out looking at furniture for their sitting room, and I can't even begin to tell you how many pieces I've seen and how many fabric samples I've been shown. I'm crosseyed at this point.
My nephew and his girlfriend flew in from NYC last night, so we have been invited to dinner at my brother's place tonight. I can't wait to see them! My nephew has been texting me all day, too. Now he wants to see a comedian at a comedy club. I just don't know. Make I will lock myself in a closet for the rest of the day!

An update if anyone is interested on my knee situation. I fell last week and injured both knees. I wrote a post about it. I have been waiting, hoping the next...

My day is about over. I've mostly been writing today and reading what others have written. I did get a load of laundry done. It's seemed like April weather here today. First it was cloudy. Then sunny. Then it poured. It was sunny again and bright before the sun set. I'm sorry about your limitations. My husband is still feeling pain in his leg and if he doesn't take Aleve he still has to use a cane or walker to move around. I hope both of you heal soon.

It's beautiful here today, warm and sunshine. I'm praying your recovery will go well and quickly! But it's good you have patience and things to keep your interest.

@CarolDM You'll do well, Carol. And you're right, this too shall pass. Just be extra careful when you move around.

That is great, your weather sounds nice. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Each day is a little better, then I turn my knee while just walking, so I have to watch every step. This too shall pass. My patience has been tried but I have learned to roll with things in life.

I understand you 100%, I was like a caged wild animal when I fell last year and hurt my ankle. I learned to do most things sitting down for several weeks. But I had a rental house to get done because I had a new tenant waiting, I had to work. The worst part were stairs, I would sit down and butt walk up them, or down.

Yes, you will just have to take your time and let it heal. It's better than overdoing it, and having a relapse. Nothing really planned, but I am going to make a Greek lemon soup.
