Exercise

Exercise, that most evil of all words to the injured!
Yes, once at the point of being stable on my leg, it was time.

First walk was last week.
Thought I would go for half a mile.
But I felt so good, I went for one,
And then two.
 But I did it!

I lay in a very hot tub of water congratulating myself.
And then I might die in that tub,
I had no ability to lift myself!
With much thought and prayer,
I was able to overcome gravity.
As the afternoon lengthened, I seized up like a frozen engine!
Oh, the pain!

I took a day off to just rest.

Friday I made it an easy walk.
Limited to 1.5 miles or less.
No repeats of Wednesday!

I visited a few shops,
Made some Christmas purchases,
Had Lunch.
Died when I got home!

Monday was my third walk.
Same idea as Friday:
Easy does it.
And it went well.
I evencut my time in half with no real effort!

And as you read this,
I am off for another attempt at two miles!
Can I do it?
I have no idea ...
But I continue to try.
