Healing
I think I'm coming along pretty well, although much of what I can do requires sheer willpower. I think my knee has passed the turning point - I hurt it on Wednesday last week, and today, Tuesday, the heat is finally abating so I would presume the same goes for the infection. I'm glad I let my body's defenses take care of it rather than dump a lot of meds into my system. I've used Neosporin and that's about all.My face is, well, it's my face and it's looking as well as I can expect. I think the area that was hurt has just brought out more wrinkles!I went to Walmart this morning to return something, and I swear that I won't darken their doors ever again with the possible exception of the Vision Center. I don't know what anyone sees in that store, but our differences are what makes the world go around.Mama fox is back with 3 kits that I can see, but they must be spending more time in the woods than under the shed.One final photo that shows how I even managed to finish the backpacking trip and get to our finish line. Jeannie is one of the sweetest girls in the whole world, and I am so grateful for her. She was there for me every time I had to step up or down on a rock!

Toward the end of her life she wrote the most beautiful column of her career, called "When does the child become the mother, and the mother become the child?"

One Step Forward, Two Back
I sure took two steps back last night. Jeannie came by and took me over to the gym closest to where I live, and we had a great workout. I didn't realize how big the place is and how much it has to offer, and probably would never have gone...

Nothing Much
Jeannie called me early this morning asking if I wanted to come over for coffee. Since I had already made a pot, I just took mine over in a thermos and visited for a while. I asked her to take a photo of me with the two girls and am waiting...

Well Done, Gypsy
What I said exactly was "Damn, I'm good!" But then the aches and pains set in, and I probably overdid the exercise thing, but I'm doing so well with it that I will just suffer. The yoga video I followed yesterday evening just about kicked...
