Feel the need to update

Sun setting on the corral at work

I feel the need to update but don't have all that much (positive) to say. Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed. Very annoyed and tired of not moving!!!

The hip doesn't hurt but I'm also teetering around on crutches. I'm sleeping more, waking feeling good and by 7 pm, I'm wishing I were asleep. At least my mind is working most of the time. I'm getting really sick of the crutches. Luckily, I don't have to go out much but when I do, parking lots are sheets of ice and scary. I feel like an idiot riding around in the handicapped cart at the grocery store. My arms, chest and shoulder muscles hurt from using the crutches. Maybe I'm doing using the crutches wrong? I finished the Twilight series. Thank goodness, it was keeping me from doing other very vital things. I need a whambulance!

My mom made me a robe/hospital gown for the hospital. I'm tired of taking my pants off for everyone and his/her brother and sister. I'm subjected to ENORMOUS hospital gowns that are impossible to keep closed and trip around on crutches. It's in the mail and I'm eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

I finally got legitimate exercise for the first time in almost 2 months yesterday. I went to the Physical Therapy office and rode the trainer with no tension and only left legged for 30 minutes.

I'm considering upping my HC for a couple of days to see if it helps with the fatigue. Opinions? I'm at 25 (10/10/5), 88 mcg levothyroxine, 12.5 cytomel.

BTW with the sustained, ridiculously cold temps lately, it's a relief to not feel like I HAVE to go run long distances in the cold or on the dreadmill.

People still feed their animals like this in Teton Valley

-24 at my house. Rime on the icicles. Foggy out.

Only 1.5 feet of snow. This will soon change.
