checking in

Still in physical therapy. Some good days, some bad.
I went back to work this week. First couple of days were great, but then I started going down hill. By Friday, I was in some real pain. Then Friday afternoon the Physical Therapist hit a nerve in my leg that was particularly tender - had a rough night sleeping.
I find I can walk reasonably well, though if I over do I need to use my cane.
I cannot sit for any length of time - annoys a nerve in the back of my leg.
This also happens when I drive - so no driving for me for awhile. I can get to work and back (it's only a couple blocks away), but I need to curtail all other errands for awhile.
I had Ron take me to the grocery store tonight. Even sitting in the passenger sit was a little rough - until I figured out how to prop my leg up with my cane - that eased the pressure on the nerve.
I feel like I've taken two steps forward, and one step back.
2 more weeks of physical therapy, then they decide if I'm healing well enough not to need surgery.
I need to take good care of my self and do my homework stretchs - they do seem to help.
No more for now, sitting to write the entry has gotten too painful.
