I Did It

I cleaned off my car and went shopping. 
Without hurting my back. Though I did go to the edge. I'll wait a little while before I get the last 2000 steps. Right now I have 2960. I only need 40 steps for 3000. I'll have that walking out the door or before since I'm eating lunch at my desk. I want to step up the goal to 6000, but it might be too soon, even though I did get over that yesterday.
While I was in the store, PT called and I have an appointment for this afternoon already. So that will be good.
Baby steps. I'm doing my best to get everything I need done without needing to ask for help. I know there's one person here that would be more than willing to help if I needed it. She took me to the store a couple of days ago.
For now, all is good. I'm going to take care of the notifications and then I think it will be time to leave.
Have you accomplished something that became difficult that wasn't before? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. This is a cute setting on the table in the hallway.

I love that setting it looks nice, I am glad your back is better and you could do all those steps, SInce the cold weather in Florida my sciatica started hurting again but I found that now since it is warmer and the sun is out if I walk slowly to the closest store and back my sciatica is starting to feel better,

I'm glad it's feeling better. My therapist told me today that motion is lotion. So walking is helping.
Thank you. I think it's cute. I wonder how much longer it will be there since they put up all the Valentine's decorations now.

Please be careful. Not asking for help is no badge of accomplishment...Ask for help if you need it. However, I am not big on asking for help either.

Yes, baby steps. It's so nice that you have someone to help if needed. You're a tough broad.
Having found ways to keep my mood stable is something I am proud of doing.

Baby steps are the best, then you feel like you can accomplish more than you thought. Glad you got your car cleared without causing yourself more pain.
Hope the PT went well for you. I know sometimes they seem to be adding pain to a person instead of taking it away, but it is all part of the process.

That's good you were able to do those things without hurting your back! I can never clean my car off without hurting my back in general. That's good you got that call too. Sometimes waiting on calls like that can take some time.
