I am barely into the second year of my new life of health and fitness, but I am feeling it and it is feeling pretty good! π
It is five weeks since I broke my arm (humurus surgical neck and head). That has put my Zumba, dog walking, and weight lifting on hold – but I have improvised.
My fitness plan these days is mostly dancing around our kitchen and doing my therapy exercises.Β That doesn’t sound too impressive, but I do both three or four times a day,Β so it keeps me active and I can feel the benefits….
- My range of motion for my arm is improving daily. I did my hair up yesterday. It wasn’t perfect, but I did it myself with my own two arms. π
- I seldom use anything for pain – day or night. I used regular Bayer aspirin for the first week or two but only used it one night last week.
- I feel good – physically, mentally, and emotionally. πππ
- I went shopping on Saturday, bought myself a new outfit, AND I was pretty happy with the fit. (I don’t have a photo but will post one on Thursday after my follow up appointment.)
- I am sleeping okay most nights.Β Last night,Β I slept so well that my arm was stiff and sore when I got up.Β My workout this morning shook it loose. π€
That’s it for today but I have to wrap things up with the latest addition to my You Tube dance mix. πππ
Take care and have a great day! ππ

Glad to hear you are doing so much better. How you ever made the bed with one good hand and arm, beats me. Take care!

Thanks Karla! I make the bed every day and that’s no big deal. Yesterday I did all the laundry and bedding and Dan made the bed. I gave up after I spent ten minutes trying to get a pillow case on. π€¦
