At the Beach (June 2023)
Today is our wedding anniversary. One year ago we said, "I do". We are having a low-key day and plan to go out to a nice dinner this weekend. The anniversary just sort of slipped up on us.
Speaking of anniversaries, tomorrow will be 5 weeks since I got the new knee. I saw the doctor today and he was pleased with my progress. I'm surprised that I still experience quite a bit of pain. Not all of the time, but when it aches, it really aches. My goal is to get the full range of motion. I'm not satisfied that I'm there yet. I've got a few more PT appointments to get scheduled, and hopefully, we will make more progress these next few weeks.
My stamina is not what it needs to be yet. It's embarrassing that I get sort of lightheaded after a long hot shower. I think that's just stamina. I know I get tired as I try to head back to my regular yoga classes. I went to a Sculpt Yoga class yesterday and was able to do most of the activity. Granted, some of the moves I have to modify, but I'm able to get a lot of benefit from the class. The class is taught by one of my favorite people, Liz. She is so encouraging! And I just love her energy.
Right before my knee surgery, I was in 3 weeks of Yoga Teacher Training which will be part of my updated 500-Hour Certification. I should finish the hours for that by the end of the year. I'm still digesting some of the information that we learned. Not everything we learned will speak to every person. I have to determine what aspects ring true for me.
These are just a few thoughts to get back into the groove of writing/blogging.
