September 5 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Getting old is not for wimps. I'm in pain. I've had the massage pad on for the past hour on the chair. I don't think it's working the way I want it to. So, I'm getting off the computer and call it quits for the day.
I'm thankful I got my walk this morning before the pain in my lower back set in. Not my knees, thankfully.
I'm thankful I found my heating pad. When you put things away you don't want little fingers to play with, you need to remember where you put them. I looked in every closet twice and no heating pad. I decided to look in my dresser drawers. Don't ask why I put it there, I'm just glad I finally found it. I'll be putting it on my lower back in a few minutes.
I'm thankful I got an e-mail telling me my glasses were sent on the 3rd. I should have them by Tuesday. At least that's my expectation.
It looks like I have only one week of swimming left before surgery. I got an envelope with a stack of pre-surgery papers in it with appointments. I have an appointment every morning for the week before surgery.
That's what's going on here. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm doing my best to be positive. Yes, with age comes pain.

@wolfgirl569 So, do I. Right now, my back is worse than my knees and that's saying a lot. My knees feel downright great by comparison.

@Courtlynn I think I can put it away. My back is finally feeling back to normal, almost. I just won't put it where I found it. Or maybe I should.

Sounds like it'll be a busy week before the surgery. Sorry to hear about the pain
