Just for the record......I did walk out to the mailbox and got the paper
this morning. The driveway wasn't too slippery so figured I wouldn't be
damaging myself more. Caught a few snowflakes on my tongue in the process.
:) It is absolutely glorious out there! Even Jed called me this morning to
see if I was happy dancing!
I was really hoping last night that all of this was just major muscle
soreness. But that has abated a little today and there is a definite 'hot'
spot on the affected rib that screams at me if I deep breathe or cough. So
I'm being good and pacing myself. Dad is helping out a bunch. At least
this year, I won't have to have my foot elevated. Sigh.
Mom
