Walk as much as you can, he said. It will keep you limber, he said. Yeah, sure.
So I walked to acupuncture, which is only three more blocks than the library, locked my rollator to a bike stand because acupuncture is up two flights and my rollator is heavy, and walked back home, stopping at the dollar store to get an electric kettle (which I despise, but it's for my bedroom post surgery so I can make instant oatmeal) and a cordless phone because a) my bedroom phone is an ancient rotary with a muffled ring and b) I can move between bedroom and side room with it and not have to worry about reaching the phone when it rings. I still don't know why cordless phones need to have both an outlet and batteries to operate, but evidently they do. Just hope it works because I Do Not Trust Technology.
And as soon as I'd done that everything seized up and knee bones ground and spasmed and I was still eight blocks from home. Came home, poured me a strong gin and tonic, iced knee (have never known ice to do anything, frankly), and eventually tried some stretches with mixed results. I want to say Tomorrow I'll stay in bed all day with hot beanbags (and anti-histamines because lord but the allergies are ferocious today) but of course that's the worst thing I can do. So tomorrow I'll go out walking again.
