What a great weekend I had. My new found freedom in the pool has been such a huge mood booster. We had friends over yesterday for a swim and a bbq then we spent the afternoon today with just the kids in the pool and lounging by the pool.....I would love to be able to spend longer periods of time in the pool but am concerned about my circulation being cut off when I have the cast protector on.
Yesterday after about 45 min's in the pool I got out and when we took the cover off my toes were white...so clearly it affects blood flow. Today I kept my pool time to about 15 min's then got out and took off.
AND, not only did I get to enjoy the pool for the first time this summer I managed to walk down our long driveway to the mailbox and back. Driveway is 30 ft wide and 140 ft long...I was tired when I made it back up the driveway but I did it. I had hoped to be able to do that by the end of this week. Pure determination ...or as my hubby says...I'm just stubborn. I get an idea in my head and I just have to do it.
So having set that goal to walk to end of the driveway and back (cast and crutches) and having successfully fulfilled that goal, it is now time to set a new goal .
Happy mommy, happy baby!
