Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I've done a moderate amount of walking and stair-climbing in the last few days, which is more than I had been doing in some time, and my ankle, foot, and knees all seem to be doing well. I think this is a combination of time and the ongoing effects of the PT; I haven't been icing or taking NSAIDs in the past few days. (Some stretching, yes, and the shoulder strengthening exercises.)

I realized this evening, going up a flight of stairs into a restaurant, that I hadn't been bothering to count flights of stairs lately, despite rysmiel's apartment being up a couple of flights of stairs, and having to use stairs to get into and out of the metro. Counting is both for ongoing "how is my knee these days" and to decide things like whether to go a bit out of the way to get to an elevator rather than walk down the stairs into the bus tunnel. Less relevant here, since most of the metro stations I've been using don't have elevators.

Yesterday's PT session was mostly strengthening for the shoulder, and some massage, ice, and ultrasound for the left ankle. Minimal attention to the wrist, which may have been a mistake. My next appointment is for a week from Thursday; we left open the possibility of my calling in the next few days to make an appointment for next week as well.
