Iwas sore and tired as I puttered around the kitchen. I used my rollator to keep balance, but it was hard to put any weight on my arms with how much they were hurting after yesterday’s workout. I hoped the exercises would pay off in the long run, because right now, the pain was just making me irritable. I’d taken my pain meds, but I knew the pain would probably last all day… all week if I was unlucky.

Nothing I tried to alleviate my symptoms ever seemed to help. Mila had gone on a “wellness” kick a while back, convinced she could fix me if we only did the right things. We drank green coffee bean extract and meditated and did yoga. The last time I tried yoga, my knee had subluxed and I’d fallen over on top of Mila. We’d laughed so hard I’d actually peed myself, which had just made us laugh harder.

Our enforced isolation in the Pakhan’s mansion the past few years had been agonizing, but there were also things about it I missed. It had been Mila and me against the world for so long, and now I was on my own.

I ate a banana from the fruit bowl while trying to figure out what to do with my day. The kitchen was fully stocked. I grinned as I decided to do some baking and cooking. Only to pass the time, of course. Not to secretly impress my husband with the one skill I had. I would just need to choose recipes that didn’t require much upper body strength.
