Gardening and Health

Casaubon's Book has some good thoughts on What plants to grow. Some good stuff in the comments too, incl. a couple of links for Californians.

And she has an old post on seed companies here, with a correction on some info here. The correction article is worth reading, not so much for the correction as the article posted in the comments, which includes an imaginary conversation between Adam Smith and a Pacific Islander. Warning: some people will like the conversation and others will probably say it's stupid.

Been doing my PT, and it's getting a little easier. Just repetitions to get the muscles moving (assisted by other arm/hand). Am allowed to move hand but not do anything with it. Kind of headachey today -- prob'ly 'cuz of sling strap. Took nap this p.m. to give shoulder/neck a break. Bracing arm on arm of chair helps.

Sitting and icing after PT today, was grateful for the beautiful view out the livingroom windows.

I'm glad to hear PT is going well. Do me a favour -- don't feel guilty about taking naps. I know that you may be feeling that you're being lazy or not getting enough work done around the house. But remember that your body needs extra energy to heal and you have had an invasive procedure. If your body tells you it's sleepy, then sleep. And afterwards realise that you've just done something good for yourself. =)

Yeah, naps are good! And being able to set my own schedule's good too -- very lucky to be in the situation I'm in.
