Have been pretty much pain free since Sunday, just uncomfortable and cautious. Have been walking around the neighborhood and spent yesterday afternoon shopping. Things are going very well and are pretty much back to normal except for no bending, twisting or lifting for the next 10 weeks. The local sweet corn season has begun so I've brought the Butter Boy back into service. We have planted tomato and pepper plants around. One group in a Big Bag Bed Mini which is a small fabric bag used as a raised planter. Alesa golfed in the Erie Club annual tournament this Wednesday and did pretty well. She won a cash prize for the longest women's chip-in. The Maloneys came over for a visit today to see how I was doing and we had a nice visit and celebrated St. Patrick's Day as well.
