Yesterday, Thursday, I got outside to walk the driveway with my trekking poles. That's new. I feel unsteady, but it's coming along. Today I used the poles to go to physical therapy in the afternoon, and now I have even more exercises to do. I also joined in Friday morning breakfast again.
Yesterday I got our income taxes filed and accepted by the IRS. That is now off my list.
The next four or five days will bring us heavy rain, which means no more walking outside for a while. I'll do laps around the house and ride my stationary bike, not very satisfying, but I need to keep moving. At least I can read while I am on my bike for up to 15 minutes at a time.
I started a new book, James, as told by Huck Finn's slave companion, Jim. So far it's rather intriguing. I confess I have never read the original books about Tom Sawyer or Huckle Finn.
Now it's time to go ice and elevate, my favorite times of the day.
See you later.
I am so glad to hear you are doing so well. I walked to the bus yesterday AND today, and I'm surprised how sore I feel. I still am getting better, but it' so nice to be back on the bus. I am also masked and hoping to avoid the flu, which is rampant in Bellingham right now.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy reading about how you are doing. You look good with those trekking sticks! Keep on trekking!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are making progress!
ReplyDeleteGood work! It's nice to see you able to be out and about.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rest time.
Sounds like you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteYay! It's good to see you walking. I've got those trekking poles too, but then we haven't been trekking lately. You look like you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice picture, Linda. Glad you were able to get out and about.
ReplyDeleteNice for you to have been able to go out a little. We are planning to go to Belgium to Bruges ounce more to see this beautiful town soon . I hope to be able to organise it.
ReplyDeleteLinda, it's ok to post about yourself; having a knee replacement is a big deal! You do seem to be recovering well. After my dad recovered from his knee replacement he liked to get the new x-rays out to show them off; mind you that was 35 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI really like to use my walker with a tray on top. It helps me transport food and other items. So, that's why trekking poles would not satisfy me.
