I Did It!
The signs were there this week. Monday was the last day I used the walker at work. The rest of the week I used a cane. Went off all pain medication including ibuprofin Thursday. It still hurts when I get out of a chair, but not near as much. And today I did it! I MOWED THE FRONT YARD! It wasn't near as hard as I thought it would be. I did change the way I mowed it. I didn't mow in a circle like I've done for years. I moved back and forth across the yard. That way I didn't have to go up and down the small incline of the yard every time I did a circuit. And I only stopped twice. Not so much because I was tired or in pain, but because I didn't want to overdo it the first time. So the front yard is mowed, I'll tackle the back yard next Saturday.
