On the first PT, the day after surgery, Wednesday, I got to 103˚ knee bend. Second PT, today, I got to 108˚ knee bend. I did not loose any flexion during the peak swelling - 72 hours after surgery.

The "easy" at home PT has only 4 more sessions, (Only 6 in home allowed by Medicare) then I'm scheduled With The Doctor - Lopez, DPT that's when knee bending gets very serious and improvement each session is mandatory. THE BEND will have to be reach 130˚ and perfectly straight the other direction. The Doctor will also make sure my gait is young again.

A lot of hard work ahead.
OK, so how many days out are you from the actual surgery, and what is the pain level? On a scale of one to 10.

I was grilling on the deck this evening when there was a loud BANG down below my house. At first I thought a muzzleloader, but wife said electric flickered. Fuse blew on the power pole feeding the barn next door. Fortunately only the barn effected. However, my weather station isn't reporting anything now.
My sermon is ready for Sunday, My yearly turn to speak to relieve our minister. Tomorrow I have to lead a couple songs at a funeral / celebration service.

Surgery was Tuesday at noon.
Right now pain level is one with only 1/2 dosage of pain pills.
Pain was very manageable today.
Exercise, ice,rest, repeat.

What snow say it ain’t so. Look for November to turn mild after next week thru first of December. Thomas not so much
They already removed snow for Wednesday although the hourly still shows some. Looking back at old pics tonight, I saw one year we had several inches of snow on Oct 29th.

good morning all
supposed to almost set a heat record here today, 81 degrees, from sounds of it, won't last long as cold
is coming in right after it.
I'm leaving on the 7th of November and getting home the 27th. For all of your weather whisperers,
please keep the snow away from this area til I get home.

busy morning. BIL and son coming over early to try again on the rv steering stabilizer.
It should go easily but we said that the first time.

then old friend comes over later this morning to help me set up that Calyx wifi hotspot I bought. Involves sim cards and other
setup I have zero experience with, so we will do it together, two eyes being better than one, and a second set to read off tiny numbers
from side of box. Trip to Florida will be the test to see if it works better than Verizon, which hope it will.

Ron, that very bright moon is pretty here, coming through the drapes at night

if everything works today...will be a very good day.

(as one of my favorite websites says: We're going to test that!)

Don, keep making good progress. Need to get you back on the tractor and in your garden

58 going to 85.

Ron, my wife and I sat outside watching that moon rise. Also, really nice seeing it when I woke up at 2am...it lit up the yard where the raccoons were raiding the bird seed left on the ground for the doves.

Got about 15 minutes of clear sky yesterday about 9pm. Then clouds moved in. Maybe a better view this evening.
