Doing better. My back is more of a continuous ache that waxes and wans throughout the day. I have exercises from PT that I do daily, and I'm doing my best to do them well, not just as throw aways. I'm starting to feel more stable, back wise, so far as balance and strength go though.
Saw my Psych Doctor at her new place. She seemed happier. :)
Had an echocardiogram. It's just to check something odd, not anything to worry about really. The doctor who ordered it was like 'Eh. You've got insurance, so instead of speculating let's just check.' I was goopy all day though until I could get cleaned up.
Dieting seems to be going well? Since December 13th I've lost roughly 20 pounds. Some days more, some days less, although I always weigh in in my PJs first thing in the morning before I've eaten or anything. Comes out to a little over two pounds a week, I think. I'm working hard at it, and I've only slipped up three days, one of which being New Year's when my drinks threw me over. Another I was 25 calories over, and the last I was a drink over. Drinking booze and eating... not really compatible.
Still trying though.
I made it through the dog's entire normal walk circuit today. That's the furthest I've walked since I hurt myself. It was really pretty out, sunny and golden and blue shadowed snow!
I've been up and around and cleaning lately. I can't do a lot at once, but B has been maintaining things alone, so it needs work. He can't really clean AND work AND cook AND take care of me AND take care of the dog while still having B time.
I made ravioli twice. Both times, the wheat ones turned out fantastically, but my attempt at gluten free the second time was REVOLTING. :/ I made empanadas, and I thought I had ruined them, but I'd really just not cooked them long enough. The rye ones though, revolting. B ate them anyway; he said they were sugarless cookie tasting. I think... REVOLTING. He also ate the gluten free ravioli. I'm beginning to suspect he doesn't have any taste buds.
Man, when is it going to be spring?
