It's Been Two Days

I haven't been able to walk since this past Thursday, two days ago, for two reasons, both of them legitimate.

    1)  My right knee is acting really weird; I've never had this happen before.  It's had sudden, sharp pains, then felt like it wasn't going to work.  I tried walking on it once right after the pain started and it wouldn't hold me up.  After a few tries, it kind of snapped back and worked ok. But it's been slightly painful since...brand new to me.

    2)  It's been snowing/sleeting/raining since Thursday night and I won't risk a fall because of my three back surgeries, and because of this knee issue.

While I'm not actually "missing" the walking, there's NO negative mind chatter telling me not to start up again.  No negative mind chatter saying "it doesn't matter anyway, you don't need to start up again".

I think it's because of the poles.

I think the poles are keeping me honest, focused and positive.

Because I intend to walk tomorrow.

Til then...this was me on Thursday evening, getting ready to walk 1.4 miles with Colleen.

Did it!
