#46 - Don't Like Windy Walks

Two Walks

Don continues to walk twice a day. 

When he walks in the morning, I stay home and have the house to myself.

Piano

Usually I go straight to the piano, when Don leaves. I stayed away from  playing, for the first 2 months of Don's recovery. Of course music can be healing... I remember hearing my mom playing the piano, when I was sick in bed as a kid. It was soothing. I'm pretty darn sure that my piano playing would have an opposite effect on Don, 8 weeks ago.

I'm not too worried about annoying Don now, but I'd still rather play in an empty house, where no one hear's my mistakes.

Afternoon

Around 4:30, Don goes on his second walk. I have to push myself, but I always jump up to go along.

I still have tons of Christmas prep to do. I have to force myself, but I almost always drop what I'm doing.

Then we get outside and we walk along and look at the Christmas decorations and talk about our plans for when the kids come home in a couple weeks. I always feel more energized after we walk.

Walking in the Wind

It's been chilly and windy lately. Its' harder to make myself go along, when the weather isn't perfect. But it makes us walk faster. Man! I can't believe how fast Don walks now. 

Today we noticed the wreath on the bridge had blown sideways. I couldn't reach that high, but Don stretched his arms up and fixed the wreath. Two months ago he wasn't allowed to raise his arms above his head. 

Cheers to watching Don fix something that I can't do without a ladder!
