more bunion thoughts

I moved some compost yesterday, and today my toe is complaining a lot. So I'm not going to finish that job today, but I might finally clean the kitchen.

The rest of my body is complaining too. I always lose muscle during the winter -- walking the dog is just not enough -- but four weeks of bedrest made me a lot weaker. If I get the other foot done, that's another four weeks of bedrest when I am supposed to be starting the garden. I'll miss the Spring Creek plant sale!

Is there any chance of getting a PT or someone to visit after your surgery and help with exercises to maintain your non-foot strength? Because that can't be helping at all.

Do you have to stay off both feet, or just keep the foot up? (Foot surgery isn't something I'm familiar with.) Any chance of getting a rolling knee rest thingy for getting around the plant sale?

I did look up exercises that you can do in bed. Maybe this time I will do some of them!

I just have to keep the one foot up, but I remember getting tired and achey pretty quickly. I can send my son to the sale with a list, and plant whatever he comes back with!
