Thanks, Shadow! It's always so nice to read what you post--I feel cared for. I appreciate your words so much.

This morning I did try the weights without the trainer. She had written everything down for me, and there was another trainer there to help when I got completely stuck. Which was frequently, since I have no kinetic memory at all. I felt a tad buffoonish standing there and staring at the weights as if I'd never seen them before, but everyone was very helpful. So I managed to get an almost complete workout--although I did cheat on one of the upper body exercises, in a complete fog over what I was supposed to do. And I avoided the chin up machine since I did't want to fall off it again without the trainer to assist me back on.

Nope, no Radiohead for me today. The air is getting too chilly for depressing music. I need to find something warm and fuzzy, lol.
