Another 24 for me on this Saturday morning in DC. Congratulations on such great milestones.
Time to deck the halls today including the Christmas tree. Much like painting, I enjoy the end result but not the process! Have a great day.

Good morning 24's,
All right- Saturday at last. I'm going to start my neck rehab exercises today that my doctor gave me, and will actually make a drive to pick up groceries curb-side. I could have had them delivered, but I decided to try out my new driving trick instead. I can't stay in the house all the time, no matter what. If I don't learn to drive with this, I will go insane!
So, because of discs being out, I can't turn my head to right to drive, so, here is what I do: I can shift my whole body to turn my head right. I had to drive a short distance yesterday, and did it on instinct. It worked! (I can turn my head to the left ok). It looks ridiculous. So what? I really can't do a lot of driving, but if I do this goofy move, I can do a little.
Maybe for a few weeks as my range of motion gets better.
I'm in significant pain but I can handle this. I have medication and can work remotely. Need to stay distracted. I am sober and things will get better. If I have to get surgery I will, but I'm not at that point yet. That is such a blessing. Yeah, I don't want this, I don't want to have limitations but I do and that's how it is. Time to get on with it and adapt. There's so much to do and enjoy. Better to focus on what I can do and get back into whatever exercise I can. It's the first day, so I won't do much.
I am off to get cleaned up and entertain other motorists.
I will see you all later. 24 please
Love
Red
