So this morning I made it to the Community Youth Center, where I do my treadmill routine, for the first time since "The Big Pull" at the dentist's last week. Yayyy!!!
I actually had 2 appts this week, Monday and Tuesday, Monday for another refitting of the upper and Tuesday for a re-do of the lower crown that he wasn't happy with. And, while there, I asked him if I could re-start my daily fitness routine without blowing out the newly-formed clots over my extractions and he said, yes, they're well-established, no problem.
And so, this AM, I did a reduced walk of 30 minutes on the treadmill and then came home and did about 2/3 of my normal strength/balance/flexibility routine. Which felt really, really good. Not enough to overdo it, but just enough that I felt like I was becoming active again after a short but complete layoff. And that's how I like to do it, what I've found works for me ever since I started doing this at the age of 12-13.
Which makes me pretty happy for the rest of the day's prospects. I have a dinner defrosting in the microwave--which I'm gonna destroy in the blender and eat before the grandson's varsity soccer game this afternoon. This evening, I'll do an oatmeal/banana/strawberry smoothie, maybe some journaling or a movie, then off to bed by 10...
