Hey ☕️ Canis
@LnzyHou hi ya’ and my coffee is brewing. How’s the new living arrangement going (survivor’s guilt notwithstanding)?
Loving it more each day as I get settled in. Critters are a bonus I wasn’t expecting. Taking out strawberry tops for them today.
Found an Applebees yesterday. And Lowe’s.
Love my eastern exposure. So do my orchids.

Morning Linds, pretty view. Nature is soothing in a way nothing else is.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE “recovery” is a relative term. Aim high and be prepared for negotiations. Everyone has their experiences with pain. I try to keep my definition of the 0 - 10 pain scale as 10 being in need of a medically induced coma, and 0 is dead. Worst ever is not necessarily worst possible.
Had that same discussion with PT folks yesterday. I see patients come in & refuse to do exercises because it hurts. It hurts because unused muscles are being used again.
My problem is lack of patience. I push too hard much to their chagrin. I want it all fixed NOW.
Typical Leo.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @CanisPundit
That damn chagrin, always getting in the way.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
Yes, this Leo has a sore shoulder and knee I am giving a break this week. All because I pushed too hard at the gym. It's feeling better today. Then back at it, just not quite as hard.
Leo twins. I insisted on using pulleys yesterday. Only 2 min. Therapist was not happy.
Today we pay.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
Hardheaded Leo's indeed. 👯
@CinnamonGirlE @LnzyHou just say “fuck!”: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7204505/
Yesterday a very elderly woman, hunched over her walker was going out the front door at the same time as me.
As she shuffled through the lobby, there were two people sitting & conversing. I pointed out the manager forbade people gathering in the lobby.
She stood up straight, looked directly at me and said “Fuck em”.
Almost wet myself laughing.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit maybe she is a Leo too 😂😉
You’re right 🦁

I had completely forgotten that quote. Thanks. Love The Princess Beide ♥️

It’s one of my Top Five. ❤️📽️

Watched it with my kids dozens of times, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Think I will have to put it back on my list.
So wise…
@CanisPundit @LnzyHou
There simply is no life without pain. As a nurse, I was amazed when people demanded no pain. Well okay, I will do my best to help alleviate that, but pain is part of living. 🤷🏻♀️
