Day 9 (Sunday) - Sunday Stroll.

Today was mostly restful.

I woke up from 10 deep, comfortable hours of sleep (back on Percocet at night), took my time getting up, and then mostly just chilled for the day.

We did cut back our overgrown morning glories this afternoon, so I did a little weeding but was very careful in any pulling.

What my back is going to look like.

It was such a beautiful day, that I also thought it would be the perfect time to go for my first walk. Richard accompanied me on a stroll around the block. The air smelled so nice, and the trees are gorgeous with all the leaves turning.

My core felt pretty good for it, and my legs felt great getting some solid exercise. Funny how I'm qualifying a slow, quarter-mile walk as exercise for myself, when 2 weeks ago I was running a 5K. Oh well, I'll get back to where I was. Still no regrets.

I'm really looking forward to the day I can stand up completely straight. It really tires my back to not be able to. In the long run, I suppose I'll have a stronger back for it all.
