Nearly 5 weeks in

Well, nearly 5 weeks into this knee replacement thing and it still hurts! Especially when Shelly, the therapist Gestapo, shows up twice a week. She makes me do bad things to my leg. Pretty soon she's going to make me do jumping Jacks. 

Peggy took me to the doctor and he said I'm doing better than most. I was really surprised to hear that. He had me walk up and down the hallway and said see you in 4 weeks.

Doctor Ron checking it out. He said I could practice driving the car in the driveway. Like I did when I was 15 years old and I could start with my 7 iron at the range. I really don't think I'm ready for either yet.

This is one of those bad things she makes me do.
 

This is what they put in my knee.

Peggy had a little project to fix the biggest blind in the whole RV. 
It was a little stressful, But she got it done. Only took a couple of hours of watching Youtube on how to do it. But it turned out nice.

Katie loves her bean bag chair.

The weather has been great. The temperatures have been way above normal and nice and sunny. I think this has been the best fall weather we've had in a long time. We love the sunny south west.

Not much to blog about when we don't go or do anything. It will be better when this leg thing is done.

Doing Pretty Good

It's been 3 weeks since my full knee replacement. I'm walking on the bad leg already, without the walker. I've been doing home therapy a couple of days a week. Peggy is taking good care of me. I love her! (But, she makes me get my own Beer now.)

Home therapy. Shelly is measuring my range of movement. I think I had improved 3 more degrees. It's hard work.

I have one little, bad looking spot. It's a little red.

Some of my first steps without the walker.

Sitting outside, we set up a hummingbird feeder on the table and they buzz us all the time. Pretty cool.

More wildlife in the tree next door. The owl sat in the tree all day.

The drive thru at the Dairy Queen. Some guy tried to drive thru with a 5th wheel on his truck.

He must have been crazy.

We couldn't find Caramel Apples at the store here, so we make our own. They are killer good. I love Peggy!

Katie looking for her friends, Buffy and Gracie. They just pulled in to town today.
