and that’s just what you should do! I had my second, and prayerfully last, post-op check on Wednesday. My surgeon, Dr. Isa Canavati, suggested some walking or exercise biking to limber up the muscles in my back and lower back. I am four months post-op from having a spinal fusion on L4/L5. I’ve had some discomfort especially at night, but during the day am feeling top of the world! He thinks stretching and working the muscles may help a bit.
So, today I charged into walking. If you know me, you know I won’t go half-way. So I took off, plugged in my iPod earbuds & listened to Mark Driscoll for company. I also took my camera in case I saw anything interesting. I walked right at 3 miles in 1 hour and 1 minute.
Below is the map of my walk and a couple pics I snapped of St.Annes Episcopal Church. I’m no photographer but it is something I am interested in getting better at. (edit here: the map idea is not original with me. Abraham Piper, of 22 words and Downhill Both Ways, regularly posts of his walks with maps. So hat-tip to him!)
I have synced my blog with my facebook page, but I don’t know if the pictures will come through.
