This tree (I think some kind of crab apple tree) is one of very few trees in my neighbourhood still holding on to some leaves (and even green ones!)

We had a rare glimpse of a bleak November sun and blue sky today; and I took advantage of that for a walk to the nearest small convenience store. Glad to be able to report to regular followers that I did notice an improvement in my injured knee compared to the last time that I walked the same way, 2½ weeks ago. It's also been exactly 4 weeks since my unfortunate fall; and when I got back home I tried (for the first time since then) to also walk up the first "half" flight of stairs (I think 9 steps) from the entrance to the 1st floor in my building. That felt ok (one step at a time); but not to "overdo" things, I then took the lift/elevator from from there up to the 2nd floor where I live.

Glad to know you are being a good patient!! A lot of our trees lost their leaves before they had a chance to turn colors.
ReplyDeleteGinny, I feel like I've "missed" a lot of our autumn this year as I haven't been out much these past four weeks.
DeleteDefinitely a bit of good news about your knee letting you slowly climb 9 stairs! And walking outside must have felt good!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, the past few weeks have been very grey and rainy, but I've tried to take advantage of a few glimpses of sun here and there to get out for a bit even if not very far.
DeleteIt certainly seems that you are making good progress, Monica. You are right to be cautious and not overdo things. It was lovely to see blue sky in your photographs.
ReplyDeleteJanice, I was glad to get a glimpse of blue sky myself. It's been incredibly grey lately!
Deleteyour improvement is great news, and I am sure as much as you are walking you will continue to improve more each week. slow but steady and up all those steps by Christmas. fingers crossed
ReplyDeleteSandra, with winter ahead it's really hard to predict. Indoors steps is one thing, outdoors quite another...
DeleteI hope you don't fall again, I find as I get older I have to watch myself a bit more carefully.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I certainly hope so too! The thing is, though - especially when living alone - that one can't allow oneself to become "too" afraid either...
DeleteThat‘s good, Monica! Thank you for the update 😊
