Good morning FS friends

Not a bad day yesterday. Went to physio for the right drop foot issue. It is progressing nicely. On the down side, the day John died, I don't know whether I tried to catch him, or whether it was a case of once he was down I went to ground or rose from ground repeatedly in a way that was not appropriate for a prosthetic hip. Voila, I now have drop foot of the left foot as well. Bah. Walking like a show pony with a high step at the moment. Hip not happy with the hopefully temporary gait adjustment. Physio will work on that leg as well given the positive response of the right. Just want to get back to a point where walking is not something I have to think about each and every step.

On the good news front,
Had to get some clothes yesterday so went to Walmart and checked out their clearance racks. Am now a comfortable Size 10 pant. Haven't been a size 10 anything since my early teens. Were it not for the menopausal belly that is refusing to yield, it would likely be a bit smaller. These last 14 lbs is all in the belly now.

I really went into Wally's to look for shorts. Not the slinky ones. Good structured working shorts. Didn't find any. Came home, started packing up more of John's clothes and voila - structured working shorts. Tried them on. They fit just fine and are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you John!

The other NSV was also at Walmart. Went to the pharmacy and did the blood pressure and weight/BMI reading at their kiosk. BP 98/54 pulse 62.. weight with running shoes and clothes 156, normal BMI. Normal? Mind boggling. Might get off that half dose of BP meds soon. Fingers crossed.

And so my weight loss jourrney continues. There is no doubt that I will need skin removal surgery, now the challenge is who will be my post op caregiver? John was slated to be that person. Need to rethink the post op period. Quite a while to wait anyways as once I hit goal, I want to maintain for at least 6 months before considering the surgery. Despite my age, my skin has been relatively reslient in places, but others like upper arms and belly and the hip/thigh they had to cut through to do the acetabulum repair and subsequent hip replacement. Not so much. Fugly actually.

My life goes on despite losing a big contributor to the quality of it.

Over and out
