  I made it through the zoo and now I hurt so much that I want to cry. If I could I would take a muscle relaxer and a pain pill and I would go to bed. After I have dinner I will lay on my bed on an ice pack. I really hope the ice pack will help.

 I am supposed to go to the grocery store tomorrow. I don't think that is going to happen. I have a hard time walking now. My hips and lower back are killing me. I guess I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow.

Will I Make it....

    Tomorrow I am going to try to walk the Portland,Oregon zoo. This will be a long walk and I don't know how my body is going to handle it. I have a really hard time walking around the grocery store so this is going to be a challenge.

  I could use a wheelchair but I don't want to feel disabled like that. I know that I'm disabled to an extent. I can't stand for long periods and I can't sit for long periods do to my back and right hip. I am going to just walk through the zoo and rest when need be.

I am doing this as a surprise to my daughter. She has been wanting to go to the zoo all summer. I hope she will enjoy it. I told her we are going to Portland so we can go to a art store my honey likes. She whined about the whole thing.

I will write again in a few days to tell you how the trip went.
