I can tell that it really helps to get moving and increase my mobility to the affected arm. I did lose slight mobility with the surgery, but I think I will gain it back if I am consistent in maintaining my exercising regime. I would like to get back into weight training, but I think it is a little early for that. I will concentrate on the mobility type exercises for the time being. I want to increase my walking too, but the doctor did say to limit it. That is hard for me because when I start something, I like to push myself a little harder to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>My friend, Denise and her husband came and blessed me yet again by cleaning my house. They did a very good job and I recommend their services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bizidi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/groundcover800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-799\" title=\"ground cover in front yard\" src=\"http:\/\/bizidi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/groundcover800-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bizidi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/groundcover800-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bizidi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/groundcover800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>In the afternoon, another friend, Christine helped me finish planting my ground cover in the front yard. She did a great job and it looks wonderful. It didn&#8217;t take long, but was an activity that I have had to postpone because of surgery. It will be wonderful to be able to do these things again. I have always enjoyed yard work. It has such a peaceful affect on my mood. Even just watering is therapeutic to me.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I finally worked on my continuing education that I had meant to do at the beginning of the year. Even though I am not working as an RN in the working force, I just don&#8217;t want to lose my license, so I still maintain the continuing education hours to keep my license current. I worked too hard to obtain my license to just let it expire.<\/p>\n<p>It was hard for me to motivate myself to do it earlier this year in light of the turn of events, so my heart and chemo brain wasn&#8217;t in it. Today, I decided to tackle it. I bought a set of studies on the internet, which is a lot cheaper than going to classes, and I take the test and do an evaluation all online too. I was delightfully surprised that I actually found it interesting enough to barrel though much of it today. I even printed out my certificates of completion for the ones I finished. It feels great to complete a project. I have one more to finish. I am glad I felt good enough to concentrate on it. I did have pain today, but I medicated myself appropriately so I didn&#8217;t have that urgent feeling of discomfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Friday, I did the exercise video again and it was easier with the stretches this time.
