Hips

I elevated my hips with a sturdy pillow tonight during my physical therapy activities, because I remembered how it had helped specifically on one of the exercises when I’d felt fatigued. I had underestimated how good it could feel to have my hips elevated so. The pillow at the physical therapy office was nothing like this one, so it had mostly just felt lumpy and in the way. But having a sturdy pillow under my hips has felt awesome and helpful these past 20 minutes. And so, for the first time in almost three weeks, I finally managed to elevate my hips for 15 minutes. Had I not added this specific pillow to the bed two days ago, I still wouldn’t have done it tonight. It was just because this pillow was here that I made the effort at all to elevate them, instead of just struggling through the exercises without a pillow.

Anyway, glad that has worked out now!

Thank you for today, Lord. Thank you for my family and for our home. Please, keep us safe and make us well and keep us together. In your name, I pray. Amen.
