I lived in Houston for years, and I can appreciate that 90F/90%. That was the time of year that I was done doing much outside. I tried to have a garden that was easy care in the middle of the summer.

Glad you are getting your body back. There is nothing worse than being restricted by pain that is hard to tolerate. Take care of yourself.....and don't push too hard in the middle of the summer.
