I'm back on the boat, at least for a night. After PT and a fairly full day of running around doing normal things, my lower back feels pretty good. You know what they say about house guests and fish so it's a good time to see how the motion of the boat and getting in and out of the V berth makes me feel.
Barbara arrives from Maine tomorrow for the rest of the week and the weekend. We'll be staying in a motel or B&B so that I'll have a better place to do exercises. The logistics will be simpler and it will be nicer for her.
It is very nice to be back on the boat but a bit strange. It feels and looks like home but I have completely lost the familiarity with the motion. It seems so odd to have the hull move slightly under my feet as I walk around and the occasional wake comes in. The boat is like a summer cottage half way through the first afternoon. I can't wait to get it organized, iced up, and provisioned again.
No plan yet for what comes next week. I'm going to talk to the PT's to get a better idea how long they think this will take and whether returning to very easy life aboard is feasible.
