Progress!

After 5 weeks the torn abdominal muscle is healing and I am able to sleep in bed again. I'm feeling less tired as a result, although the itch of the eczema still forces me out of bed in the early hours. I've stopped using the hydro-cortisone cream as it seems to be causing an allergic reaction. After consulting with Dr. Zain I was able to cancel

Congratulations on reclaiming your back yard! Isn't it nice to be able to sit outside without looking at debris? We remodeled two years ago and I remember all too well what the yard was like.

The flowers are glorious! I love the white flowering tree above the wall.

Wonderful!

I'm also glad you're healing finally. Do you have any idea of how you tore the muscles?

I tore the muscle trying to extricate myself from a taxi; it was a very small family sedan with a backseat that was designed to hold 2 small children. I had difficulty getting in, but when it came to getting out again it was almost 'mission impossible'. As I finally managed to get out I felt 'something' go, as you when you pull a hamstring. After 5 weeks of pain I am relieved to be sleeping in a bed again, and also carefully getting the house clean, without overdoing it.

I love the white blossom tree also. I don't think it is a plum as I have plum petals drifiting across the yard from the other side, and this blossom looks denser. I'll have to take note of the tree in the summer and see what type it is.
