Oh, Anne!!! I SO know what you're talking about!! I'm so sorry you're having troubles, too, since your recent surgery. I remember when I had that horrible heavy leg brace - and such a lot of pain in my leg - but trying to stand for any length of time was awful. And the walker wasn't my friend. My wrists and hands were so sore from having to use muscles that weren't used to that - ouch!

Good for you, though - you got out! And you did it! You did your errands, you put stamps on those envelopes, so YAY!

I spent a lot of time talking to both of my legs - the injured one about how great a job it was doing and how sorry I was that it was so badly hurt. And the 'good leg' for all the extra work it was doing, thanking it for staying strong and telling it was a great job it was doing, too!

I don't know if it made any difference (or 'makes' as I still do this sometimes!) but it made me feel better!

Thank you for reading this and for your kind comments. Take extra good care of yourself!!! And I hope the rest of your recovery is speedy!! 💜
