Spring Flowers

Well, for those who don't really know, Spring has come early for Virginia.  At least where I live.  The tree outside my bedroom window already has most of its leaves and the tree across the road is already fully leafed.  It came SO fast!!! Today, after working on some school work, I took a break and went on a short walk into the woods to pick some flowers. 


Daffodils








Red bud


Time to make bouquets!

I put some forsythia in it, too





The scraps went into an ink well I found at Smithfield Plantation a few years ago!

As far as an update as to how I am feeling...........I'm much better :- )  PT is doing great.  No problems.  I have noticed that I don't feel as unstable in my joints.  I can move around more freely without as much pain or any real significant joint shifts.  I still have everyday aches and pains and occasional separations; it won't ALL go away, I know, but I'm SO thankful how far I've come.  I've been more hydrated lately (120 fluid oz. is not exactly easy to consume, so my targets are usually somewhere between 90-120oz.).  Hopefully I'll be able to beat back the POTS flare-up.  When I get sick, like I did in February from the flu, I tend to feel it for a while (POTS-wise).  It'll just take some time, but it could definitely be much worse :-)
