7:19 – 8.35PM

Walked at night, because PT started at 8;30, and I needed the sleep more than the morning walk. Walked after getting a quote on filling our pool. $2K. What I’m happy about is that we can actually afford that with only a little moving around of bills. That’s not something we could always say/do.

Blue pedometer on right hip. 2814 steps.
Red pedometer on left hip. Didn’t work, even 10 minutes in. Moved it to a pocket, and now it shows 3988 steps, or 1.38 miles. Need a better measurement device!!

Walked out of our street, to the right, over to Glasstown Road, up around the circle at Wheaton Village, through the carpark past the Paperwaiter, around to the left onto a small portion of Wade Boulevard (past a tour bus decked out for the U16 Babe Ruth world series girl’s softball thingy), around into the new (like a couple of years ago now new) pre-school adapted from an office building-building, down to the end of the street that joins onto Glasstown, around onto Whittaker (quick chat with a friend who stopped her truck when she saw us to say hi; lives a little further up), back onto 10th street, round onto G and then home.

It’s nice to walk longer when we have the time. I did notice that my left knee was a little twingy. Not quite stretched, or too stretched by walking? Left leg has the glass-shards feeling in the back of my heel when I stretch my left foot in a hamstring stretch, and my left ankle is a little dodgy, has been known to feel like it’s about to make me fall.

When I finish the PT, and the basic GP bloodwork, I’m booking a gynae appointment (cause it’s been a while, plus I have to get a base-level mammogram) and maybe talk to the arthritis Dr who prescribed the shoulder PT about my left leg, see if he deals with that too.

Odd thing; they give prescriptions here for mammograms and PT. I think I’m used to maybe a referral? Or perhaps I never got to that stage of anything in Oz. I’ll have to ask my Mum what her specialists do.
