NW Okie's Journey

I am beginning my third week of post-mastectomy physical therapy for my right shoulder issues. Movement in right shoulder and arm are progressing slowly and moving forward. I have also checked in with a followup with my oncologist here in Durango, Colorado to keep on top of everything for the next five years of breast cancer remission and my Hormone therapy (estrogen inhibitor).

I would like some sort of warmer climate change to take over, though, so I could do some power walking to help strengthen and maintain the bone density in my hip bones, joints. Or . . . find an inside physical therapy place to do my inside walking exercises, huh!

I am still working on my mandolin and strumming. Trying to get the rhythm part down. I have been listening closely to my favorite folk music to see if I can distinguish the beat, rhythm for some of the songs, since that is what I am interested in learning to play. I do have one of those Metronome things that I might put into use to see if that helps with this Li'l Old Lady's musical rhythm. We shall see how this part of NW Okie's journey develops, huh!.
