Today, I wanted to do extra exercises, really work on stretching and bending and lifting, so tomorrow I'll get good results at the dreaded PT. Well. I did everything, but developed a new pain on the front of the knee. I googled it, and watched some you-tubes by a Dr. who specializes in knee replacement, for some hints. It's like a catch-22, you slow down a bit to heal, and things tighten even more. I used the little peddler alot today, just to loosen up.
Tomorrow, Paul is bringing Emily and Mariel's exercise bike here for me to borrow. It's a regular upright one. :)
So what did I do today? Between heel slides and leg lifts and stretches and bends, and walking around practicing to hold only the cane, then sitting and icing, then getting up and puttering a little more...the day went by. Paul marinated some chicken thighs, then put them in our new air fryer, and they were so good! He also made us some salads, I like mine with craisins:).
All right, you guys have a good evening!

Good Morning,
I think you are doing everything possible with that knee and doing really great! The bike will help a lot! Ours helped my husband for sure. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s starting to pay off I think. I love the picture of the girls doing their school work all bundled Up in blankets.Looks lovely and cozy. And the cat in the manger!! Hilarious!!
Have a wonderful day Della 🥰
