Monday, February 7th, 2022 09:07 pmHad a much rescheduled (snow, cough) physio appointment at 10:45 today so was up at 8, after a dream where I was either Japanese myself or with a Japanese family, with twins, going to a funeral/ wake, but separately- which is unlikely- and happening at a jinja, which is impossible because AFAIK Shinto doesn't do funerals, period. (What did they do with their dead prior to Buddhism, one wonders.)
Anyway both the therapist and the kinesiologist (don't know what the difference is) are v. pleased with the state of my knee, even though I gather it will go on hurting for a while. I have more exercises to try and stop the lower back and hips from hurting which, who knows, may actually work in the fullness of time. I go back in a couple of weeks only this time I have to pay- $75 for half an hour, which is steep, plus cabs. Eventually I'll swap it over for the physio two and a half blocks away, but as I sussed out sidewalks from today's cabs, that won't be any time soon because large swathes remain unshovelled three weeks after the Big Dump.
And ninety minutes after that I had a booster shot scheduled and to while away the time I went to the closest open restaurant which is both expensive and inferior, and had a cosmopolitan, a Black Russian, poutine with bacon, and a smores chocolate cake. Far more than I wanted, especially after weighing myself this morning and finding my metabolism has finally caught up with my diet and I'm five pounds/ 2+ kilos over my pre-op weight, but again, so what. I fancy it will be protein, veg and water for the next little while.
Did find the putative trilight curly bulb my bro gave me many years ago. Putative as in 50-100-150 watts, which is indeed a trilight, but that 150 is something less than an incandescent 100 and I still can't read by it.
