Got the doctor's okay!



Category: Garden Novice | Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:10 pm

I'm officially allowed to do very minimal yard work. Yay! I didn't tell my doctor that I've been doing that for awhile now but that's okay. My back is healing well. I just have to be careful. I sat on a stool last evening after it cooled down and weeded the back garden. It was a mess! I also trimmed the banana trees and gave everything a dose of plant food and vitamins. I was so happy working out there. I plan on buying some plants this weekend and put out some new pots on the porch.

I'm so pleased to hear that you're definately on the mend now Eileen. Just don't overdo things though. I can imagine how it must feel for you to be able to get back out into the garden again. Enjoy your trip to buy those new plants at the week-end!!

Yay! I'm so glad you're healing well. Please don't take off now just because you've got the doctor's OK. Otherwise I'd be forced to come and sit on you.

I'm really pleased you are doing so well, now. There is nothing so healing as being outdoors doing what you love. Enjoy, Eileen.

I kind of overdid it the other night and rested yesterday and will rest today but should be back up and running over the weekend. The cold I have doesn't help either. I think it was getting up and down off the retaining wall that bothered me more than anything. I know I have to relearn my bounderies and not be so enthusiastic. I've got to remember that I've had surgery and I'm not a kid anymore so I can't be hopping up on the retaining wall as if I were.

I'm glad you are doing better but overdoing can cause you to mess up the surgery you had.Please be careful.

You're so right about overdoing it. I'm still having minor pain so no garden work this weekend. But it looks nice enough to sit out there and enjoy the flowers.
