Saturday’s Critters – Feather and Fur

Our Pom, Kodi had a date at a neighborhood dog park the other day. We are looking for a bigger female to help calm him down. We met with a foster parent who brought a Pomski (combo Pom and Husky). It didn’t seem like a good match so we’ll just continue looking. It was nice being outside!!

Our tabby Lizzy, continuing her knee healing mission with me. She likes it when I put the ice packs on my knee so she can go lay on me.

On other knee news, I have been released from home health PT. In fact I got cleared for not using the walker any longer, nor a cane. I can just walk. Slowly. The home health nurse said that I was the only one of her patients who got knee replacements the same week I did that is walking on their own. I will say that I worked my butt off on both the pre-surgery exercises and then again on post surgery. So I start at studio PT hopefully next week. Right now I can go to the gym but no submerging the incision in water. They advised me not to drive just yet and I agree with them. I like being chauferred around by my wife. My wife has been a lifesaver on this surgery recovery in a bunch of different ways. I’m a blessed man, what can I say.

I am linking with Saturday’s Critters!

    Great news on your recovery! It is a good idea to takes walks slowly.
    I hope you find a mate for Kodi, there seems to be lots of rescue puppies/dogs available lately.
    The dove is a sweet bird, great photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    Hello 🙂
    Congrats on your recovery. A knee surgery is not only painful but usually takes months before you can walk unaided. I’m astonished that you can already walk on your own, Must have been all those exercises you did prior to the surgery. I decided not to have the surgery done on my left knee, although I was advised that I really need to, but we shall see how I go on.

    Whoa — I missed the worst pain of your knee saga but am very glad to find upon my return to blogging that you are recovering well. Congratulations on working so hard on the pre- and post-PT — but now you have to cultivate patience instead of rushing back to heavy activity — almost the opposite virtue. Take care! And I’m glad you’re able to get outside and thank you for sharing the pictures. Hope you find a good match for your tiny bundle of too much energy!
