Jewells of Thought

The last time I walked for fun or for exercise was on our trip already a month ago. Then I was hit with moving the kitchen and allergies possibly because of moving and cleaning the kitchen. Goodness it feels like a whole season in between.

Fortunately yesterday and today Mom and I have gotten our walks in and even a bit early. It was good to get a 20 minute walk yesterday and today a 25 minute one. It really helps to orient our days, but especially our mornings.

Mom has had to wear a brace since her back has been hurting more. She can feel the difference, but doesn’t always feel like it helps either. I do think it helps when she is walking though. Hopefully once the insurance goes through again and a date is set for her actual procedure she will be able to walk and fully enjoy the exercise without pain. The doctor this time will be cauterizing the nerves that are creating the pain in her lower back. After two trial and error procedures to show the doctor exactly where to target.

All I know is Mom is certainly ready for the actual procedure to happen. Then we will be able to get back to our 40 minute walks in time once more.
