Fritzy 22's Journal, 25 Jan 22

I took a picture of the bank at my house that I see from my bedroom window. I've been sprinkling hand fulls of bird seed on the rocks and on the ground and can watch the wildlife from my bed. The squirrels find every spot where there is food. It's like an Easter egg hunt and they win. But I had 3 wild turkeys climbing on top of the rocks, and lots of birds hopping all over the place. It's how I spend my afternoons.

My doctor told me yesterday to start moving more. I told him I lay on a heating pad or heated throw to help with the back pain and pain from my sciatic nerve. He said it's okay to rest but I also need to stretch and move. I called to schedule an appointment for physical therapy and I looked up stretches for sciatic nerve pain online and have been trying some of them. I took Bobby for a 30 minute walk this morning and just went out for a shorter walk, about 15 minutes. He was so excited! He rarely gets one walk a day and was so happy about the 2nd walk. The pain meds helped me sleep last night. The pain has been worse when trying to sleep, especially in my leg and calf. No pain last night!
