Still growing

I had my first physical therapy session this afternoon and the resulting pain is really bad.  I've tried icing, but it doesn't do much.  Perhaps if I keep doing the exercises the pain will subside..  I'll be doing PT twice a week for a few weeks and hope it will make a real difference and prevent my needing to have another epidural injection for the sciatica.  Fingers crossed.

A sign that the cold hasn't completely taken over yet, these tiny flowers are from one of my sister's outdoor pots.  I like the contrast of the little florets with the dramatic multi-colored plant in the pot with it.
