ellakc2 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I mowed half of my lawn today (lawn is one acre). I am very proud of myself. I took my time. I don't know which is more sore my legs, arms or lungs. Hopefully I can do the other half tomorrow. I never thought I'd get to do lawn work again. It's great exercise and you get out alot of tension.

Snowflake Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Knowing where you are coming from EXACTLY (it was one of MY big "accomplishments", too): CONGRATULATIONS!! I had a city lot, though, and usedtacould do the whole thing in less than half an hour, no break... the first time I did it after "healing", I took a break after the front yard and did the back in two attacks with a half hour break in between! Sounds like you're doing much better than me - stretch, but don't push too hard... Wa-hoo! Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellakc2 Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks guys! I was careful and stopped when I was tired, but boy did it feel good. My best girlfriend lives next store (who is a RN) called and yelled in the phone who the h__ l mowed the lawn? It was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I admire you for getting out there and doing it. I was exercising alot right after surgery but have been kinda lax lately. I sure need to start my own exercise routine. Thanks for giving me motive. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teresag Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Good for you! Exercise is important, but these little victories that make you feel like yourself again are even more important. Your girlfriend must have a good sense of humor. I can imagine myself doing the same thing. Keep going - or as our president would say, "Stay the Course!"

ellakc2 Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi Melinda, My son-in-law's sister lives in NYC great place. I only live about hour and a half from the city, if traffic is good. She was involved in 9-11 what a nightmare. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffie Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Great accomplishment! It feels sooo good to do things we sometimes wonder if we'll ever be able to do again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
