Went to a convention in Indianapolis. Whee! Prepaid the parking and it is just across the street from the Colts’ stadium which is good since 1/2 the event happens here. Unfortunately, the other half is in the convention center, which according to the map, is just a couple minutes’ walk from the parking facility. The map is SO wrong! 1st off, it’s about 4-6 blocks from the car, but when you get to the center, it’s another 1/2 mile INSIDE the building! I am using my cane, but the side effect is that my back and hip on the uninjured side now stiffen up.
Once you get to the room, you sit for 4 hours after the walk. Uh oh. Now back and hip is stiffened up, AND the injured leg is weak and doesn’t want to support my weight. Not the worst, because hubby’s knee is giving out now! OH NO! So started at the stadium. Then 3 hours later, they kick us out (even though most of the participants are buying food!) before the next session. The participants take their food outside to eat, and 1/2 hour later, when the doors re-open, are not allowed to take it back in to the facility. Doh! Sit for another 3 1/2 hours, then mosey out to find the next session. We wander down the street and with no end in sight, we stop and sit on some of the low walls. Finally, we get to the convention center, then follow the crowd in and stand in line for another 30 min to get pizza. We go to the last session and sit for 2 more hours. Hip, back and thigh is stiff, and hubby’s knee is sore. Limp back to the car and ride home.
My right hand is now bruised from the cane. The room phone doesn’t work, and I am having difficulties getting into the internet. I should put on my run tracker tomorrow! I’m going to sleep like a rock tonight!
Measureable progress
