Here on the west side of the mountains, coastal Washington state, renewal doesn't have to wait for spring. I can see things blooming from my recovery recliner, and now that the latest snow has mostly melted, I sent Tom out to get a few photos. As you know, I've gotta' have photos for my posts.
Hellebores and snowdrops.
The weather forecast calls for a week of cold nights and sunny days. Sunshine in my windows. I'll take it!
My recovery is progressing. I still have frequent trips to Physical Therapy, where I get new exercises to make me hurt, but progress in my knee flexibility is good. I have to deal with nerve pain in my calf from back issues that can be more painful than my knee, and long term issues with my hip flexor on my surgical leg cause restrictions and pain also, so it's a battle, but I am a warrior. I saw my surgical PA on Friday, had x-rays and an evaluation, and everything looks good.
None of this is much fun, but I work to keep my spirits up. I'll watch the Super Bowl tomorrow for something to do. The commercials might be entertaining. I've decided to root for the Eagles. We birds of prey need to stick together.
A big thanks to Tom for taking this lovely photos. I especially like the close-ups of the Witch Hazel. I'm glad to hear that you are sticking to your physical therapy and that it's helping. Spring will soon be here (I type this as snow is falling outside LOL) and you will be ready to get out in the sunshine :)
