Graduation :-)

All is well in my 'knee world'!!!

Last week, I graduated from Physical Therapy.  I am continuing to work out at the Physical Therapy Center on their Wellness Program.  I concluded with 130 degrees of motion in the left knee - I have 135 degrees in the right knee and I expect that the left knee will eventually match that.

I went for my 12 week checkup on Monday and all is well there too!  I don't see the surgeon again until November!

Although I had the set back with the right knee in December everything is doing well with both of them now.

I am walking; sleeping; going up and down stairs; and doing light exercise comfortably. 

My biggest fear these days is the snow and ice.  We only got about 8 inches of snow with the storm last Friday, but yesterday we got 18 inches.  My Husband has done a wonderful job of keeping my path from the house to the car cleared out.  Unfortunately he's not in charge of snow & ice removal for all of Central Pennsylvania.  I own several pairs of 'good snow' boots - the kind with real treads on them (my favorite pair is a pair of UGGs, that cost a small fortune, but they're warm and they have good traction - note these are truly snow boots, not the 'fashion' UGGs).  I'm gaining confidence on flat surfaces with the weather challenges, but I still don't like inclines or uneaven pavement.

As with the first knee replacement, I'm glad that I had the 2nd one replaced.  I had the 1st one done at the end of Summer - much better time for that undertaking than Winter.  If I ever have surgery that I can schedule again, I will NOT schedule it during snow & ice season!!

I'm off now for a ride on the stationary bike, then to do some knitting on this snowy day!
