Exercise Recovery.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Taking a simple low grade Pain Pill for the second night in a row worked. I do believe that I felt extra Pain due to my Upper Body Exercise yesterday. The goal is not to wait another Four Months before returning, so my muscles won’t have to go through the shock of getting back into the routine again.

We were having breakfast by 9:00, with no real Plans for the day.

We were able to get in more research, that we normally do during the Winter months.

Though I am still using my Cane outside of the Apartment, I’ve been doing some short walks inside, without it. It does take longer to do, but that’s how we first learned to walk.

It seems that our warm temperatures will be sticking around for a bit longer and we shouldn’t see any Rain until next week.

We might go out tomorrow.

Worked Out, Walked Out and Passed Out.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Instead of taking my Nighttime Mickey last night, I used one of the weaker Pain Pills that had been prescribed to me, when I left the Hospital. It wasn’t until days later that I noticed every one of those medications were actually less powerful than the Extra Strength Tylenol, I had been taking. When the Sleep Aids were not doing anything for me that was when I thought it could be Pain keeping me awake instead. Another word for Discomfort = Pain.

We enjoyed Cereal for breakfast before taking our Tea to the Computers. I mentioned to Kathy the need to go to the Gym as a way of taking care of other Aches and Pains I was experiencing and she could go walking at Walmart.
It was minutes after
11:00 when Kathy dropped me off at Planet Fitness. I was fortunate to be one of the first to enrol at this location when it first open, so holding on to my Membership this entire time actually saved me money. The reason for coming here was all the Resistance Machines they have, which meant I didn’t have to pick up any heavy weights. The Workout Room in our building only has Free Weights and less equipment then we once had in our own Home Gym.

It was only an Hour later when Kathy came to find me. I had the Shopping List so she couldn’t get the groceries. Since it had been nearly Four Months since my last workout, I had already reached my peak.

Instead of going shopping, I insisted that we go have lunch at Wendy’s. One we had Coupons but most important is after exercising the way I had, my Metabolism just destroyed anything I ate for the next Two Hours. We enjoyed our Chicken Sandwiches, which Kathy had with a Side Salad instead of Fries and I had a bowl of Chili in place of the Fries. It was past 1:30 when we headed back to the Car.

We then headed to Princess Auto to get a few things that were “On Sale. Total bill, was less than $10.00.

We swung by Guardian Storage and found even more Mail waiting for us.

I needed to walk, so we headed back to Walmart. I still used their Shopping Cart as a Wheeled Walker. Our Electric Tea Kettle gave up the ghost when we attempted a second cup this morning. Kathy found another dress top, while I found a pair of shorts to use for Pj Bottoms on these warm evenings.

After not having Exercised for months and now doing so with lots of walking on top, I was starting to feel it. We headed straight home. I barely sat down in my Recliner, before passing out with exhaustion. It was close to an Hour later when I woke up.
It wasn’t until the
6 o’clock Local News was over that we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for supper.

We later watched another Murder Mystery.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Talked With Richard and Ivan.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Even though, I have only felt Pressure and not Pain in my leg since the surgery, I think it is responsible for all the wakeful moments I’ve been having for the last Week. When I got up feeling tired this morning, it made me think about using part of my Nighttime Mickey again.

It really surprised both Kathy and I this morning, that when we looked down on the Ganatchio Trail there was a continual flow of Hundreds of Teenagers. They seemed to be heading west, only to reach a certain point before heading back east. With this being a Sunday, the only thing we could think it was, would be a Church Event.

Having tried unsuccessfully to reach Richard and Ivan before lunch, I had better luck afterwards. Richard seems to be making better strides at walking than I am. He is able to walk around his house without the use of his Walker or Cane. Though I have tried some short walks (Table to Recliner), the Pain starts reminding me to use my Cane. It could be all in my head, but for a short while longer, I’ll use the Cane.

When I spoke to Ivan, he knew that I was supposed to have surgery, but had forgotten when. He’s happy that I’m improving. The last time I spoke with him, he was going to retire, because the Company had been sold. The Company that bought Paul (the former Owner) out, asked him to stay on a bit longer, because of his knowledge of the business. They have also been buying new equipment to make the machinery run better. Since he is Twelve Years my junior, Ivan now plans to retire after the New Year.

Though our temperatures have been reasonable for this time of year our Humidex (feel like temperatures) have not. Everyone blames it on high Humidity, but is not. When our Humidity gets low our Humidex gets high. I’ve been watching this for years. It even happens when we are in the desert. At least we can sleep comfortably at night right now.

I am behaving and not overdoing it with my Hip, but I’m hoping to get to the Gym tomorrow. I badly need some Upper Body Exercises. I just haven’t told Kathy yet.
