We have a brand new Food City about five miles from our house now and I went on Saturday morning to get some of the Luck’s beans they had on sale for 50 cents each. I love their chili beans and haven’t duplicated them with their delicious sauce at home, so I like to keep them in my pantry. The new store is beautiful and I’m so happy it’s so close to the house now.
It was so nice to get out of the house and drive again. My new knee is working very well and it’s so much easier to walk around in the driveway and get in and out of my car. I’m so excited to think about all of the possibilities in store for me after having limited mobility for so long.
Wednesday was such a busy day that started with physical therapy and then I spent the rest of the afternoon on the phone with my brother, sister, and the realtor. It’s not that my brother didn’t want to sell the land, but he wanted more than his fair share of the money. But we had a long talk this week and worked it all out.
Health News & Exercise
This week I rode my bicycle pedals for one hour each day.
Physical Therapy came three days this week while Occupational Therapy came for one final time.
Physical Therapy has noted my blood pressure has been low multiple times when they've come to see me this month. So, I sent a message through MyChart to my primary care physician to let her know. She adjusted my medication accordingly. All through my weight loss my blood pressure medication has been reduced multiple times, which I love. I would love to get off of it entirely.
Freebies
This was a good week for freebies.
This was the best freebie this week. Three pairs of 2.5+ reading glasses from Zeno Optical. They are the highest quality too.
Four bottles of hot sauces. I’ll be giving these to someone who enjoys hot sauce.
And a free haircut from Supercuts. I’m on an email group of theirs from a few years ago and every now and then they send an email offering free haircuts. So, I went on Thursday and had mine trimmed, it looks so much better. I have let my hair grow out some since my last hair cut.
I finally went and had my hair cut-I didn't want to sit in a chair with my back problem. They had to cut off 4 inches (it had been a year). Do you mind me asking what kind of pedals you have for exercising. You are doing so well. Have a great weekend.
Yay for a new Food City! I only shop there for the sales, and I bought some cans of beans too. :) I'm glad that you are able to drive again, and it's great that you are able to get around better. Hope you get stronger each day. Glad that you and your siblings were able to come to an agreement about your Dad's land. It is hard when everyone doesn't want the same thing. Great freebies this week! Hope you have a fun weekend.
Yes, I will probably only shop there for sales too, Kathy, as their prices are higher than Walmart and Aldi. But sale items are another thing all together. Thank you for all the good wishes. I hope you have a great weekend.
If nothing else you can cherry pick the new grocery store. Publix is a store I love, and like The Pig there everyday prices are too high to be my primary store, but I shop their specials weekly. So happy you are having much success with your new knee!
So happy to hear about your successful week, especially with driving and getting around better!!! Free reading glasses—score! I’m always misplacing them!
I looked at your pedal machine. The reviews said it slipped and flopped around. I hope it does not injure your knee. Mine is so heavy and cost over $300. But, it was worth every penny, and you know how much I use it. I wish my knee worked better, but losing another 100 pounds will help a lot.
I have my pedal on carpet, so no slipping, thank goodness, that wouldn’t be good for the new knee. I love your machine and maybe someday I will get one of those too.

Here is a picture of the pedals I use from Amazon:

Oh, I so understand about sitting in the salon chair with back problems. Doesn't it feel good to get your hair cut though? I feel so much better.
I hope you have a great weekend too, Vickie. :)
Thanks Belinda! I ordered it just now...and yes after 4 inches gone I feel a whole lot lighter!
DeleteYou're welcome, Vickie. I ride mine for an hour every day and it has really helped with my knee.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. I am always misplacing my reading glasses too, so an extra pair or two is great!
DeleteI really enjoy Ali's YouTube channel. I am glad your knee is progressing along nicely.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you, Jackie.
