I’m happy to report that my recovery is still going well. I was able to go up for a little flight this weekend. Obviously no aerobatics yet though as they put way too much strain on my body. Mike and I just headed around Niagara, such as over Merrittville Speedway:
My old high school, E.L. Crossley:
I flew over my mother’s house and I saw her out back, filling the bird feeders. Mike took a pic of my turn as we circled over….tee hee!
Nice, gentle 90 degree turn! It was a great flight and it was so good to be back up in the air again:
Afterwards, Lil Jan came by and the three of us went to Cora’s for breakfast. The line up was out the door, so we had to wait about 15 minutes. Totally worth it though. Mike got this monster breakfast hamburger dish:
It was kinda amusing watching him trying to eat it, as it was a tad messy. Speaking of messy, we got back home and I inadvertently left the mitten cupboard open. Mya always jumps in and starts burrowing. She sat there for a few minutes after making a total mess. Then Pinky took her spot (you can see her adorable little head and part of her porkish body):
As usual, neither of them offered to clean up the disaster area. Dorks. After that, it was a little sunbathing on the chair:
And Abby out on the balcony:
That’s always one of the first signs of good weather – a cat that ventures outside. Another sign is pool noodles!
Mike got whacked by one the other day too, so I feel much better now!
Due to my surgery last month, my neurologist took me off my MS medication Gilenya. For the first dose you take of this daily oral med, you have to be medically monitored for seven to eight hours. Blood pressure and heart rate needs to be checked every thirty minutes. Because I was off of the med for a month, I had to go through this again for restarting it today. Blah. So I spent all day at a medical clinic. Rather boring but I got a fair bit of stuff done on my computer, plus a bit of reading. I was so tired when I got home that I had to lay down for a couple hours. Who knew sitting on your butt all day could be so exhausting?!
Today’s symptoms: I felt pretty good this weekend and today. Not too many MS issues, other than the usual fatigue, aches and pains and headache. The pain for the surgery continues to get better, but gets fairly sore if I remain in the same position for too long, which kinda happened today. Tomorrow will be better!
