Can You say Plie!

I have become very good at ballet moves!  I pliĆ© many times a day, since I cannot bend.  This would be  more fun if I was younger and good knees!   I figure my artificial knee only has so many bends before it wears out.  Point is another thing I am getting good at, although, I usually do it barefoot!  I actually take this quite seriously, because I enjoy being independent.  Some things are too minor to get my grab it, so I pliĆ©.  **Sigh**

Today has been a very good day.  It is almost 7:30 PM so I am quite comfortable saying that.  I went to Costco this morning, and Marshalls this afternoon. The carts weren't heavy either time, so that really helped.  I believe part of the reason I have felt good today is that I took a pain pill and muscle relaxer at 3:30 AM.  Then I slept until 9:00AM.  I also had company.  My DIL Stephanie and my gorgeous granddaughters came over, and my cousin.  Now as the day comes to a close, my hubby, Steph and the girls are driving through Wendy's!  Hooray!  Chicken Asiago sandwich here I come.

I didn't have to do many adjustments to the Neurostimulator today since I was up and around.  I turned it on prior to Costco, lowered it when I lay down to read, and back up again when company came.  So it has been up for about for 6 hours.  What I find troubling, besides the feeling under my right rib cage, is that positional changes affect the effectiveness so much.  For instance, I am sitting by my computer, I bend my head down and no longer feel the device.  When I sit up very straight and raise my head, I almost vibrate off my chair (I exaggerate!).  Tuesday morning I will be getting additional programs.  Excited!
