We finally went for a ride in Ranger Blue. I have not been for a ride since June 9th. My time waiting is up ...four months post Laminectomy Surgery! Yeah me! I can get in and out of the higher vehicle with no problem. I thought I might need a step stool but I didn't. Physical Therapy is going well he says he sees improvement every visit. So there ya go. Pain wise...I still have some. My Doctor says it all takes time.
This was a smoother trail...then we did one a bit rougher for the views.
The Fall color is mostly over. Warmer overnight temperatures in September was not good for beautiful color in my opinion.
We did some woodcarving on the Christmas ornaments and had a nap. I did odds and ends...stuff that never shows. For supper we had soft tacos and Far Guy's famous Chili Cheese Dip that I found in the bottom of the deep freeze.
Minnesota Weather: High was 65F or 18C Low was 52F or 11C eh.
I haven't been for a ride in the Ranger down on the farm in ages. It is hard to beat for a way to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteOur fall colors are in full display, but I know a good windstorm will take them all away. Your weather sounds really pretty perfect. Glad to hear how well you are recovering.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you could get out on the trails. I feel the crisp fall weather from your pics! Congrats on the improvement! Good work!
ReplyDeleteWe're just hitting peak fall colour this weekend. But as predicted, it's a little dull due to the lack of rain
ReplyDeleteYay for you to get to enjoy a nice ride viewing the countryside ! Everything looks so full of color. Glad you have reached this mark and I'm praying that things keep improving more and more each day....
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you were able to get out for a ride. Hopefully that pain can be resolved too.
ReplyDeleteThings are certainly looking better.
ReplyDeleteYeah for recovering...I had to look up to see what surgery was. One more thing I have missed. I am glad you could get out and go for a drive.
ReplyDeleteYAY for a ride! It always helps with the mind and body and increases the joy
ReplyDeleteIt's 49 and raining lightly here this morning. I am having trouble adjusting to the cold.
ReplyDeleteBack surgery is hard enough when you don't have the complications you have. Sounds like you didn't have spinal fusion. No rods and screws in your back?
No rods or screws...no spinal fusion just the removal of lots of arthritis.
DeleteHow awesome that you both felt up to a trail ride. And could enjoy such a lovely fall day.
ReplyDeleteYay for a Blue trail ride! You are both succeeding at wonderful recoveries!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you really enjoyed getting out and about! I hope the pain abates soon.
ReplyDeleteWell, my favorite. Happy you can enjoy the view as you swish along with FG with the wind gents pushing you both onward together!
ReplyDeleteHooray for four months post-surgery and noticeable improvement! I am so very proud of you for following your recovery instructions and doing your exercises. I do hate it takes longer than we desire to get better though. Your PT person sounds like an encourager.
ReplyDeleteThank you for mentioning the work that never shows! It frustrates me, also to have to do some of the regular stuff all the time instead of doing more of the fun stuff - - - - but Praising God for energy and strength to keep going.
