My knee is continuing to heal well. As soon as all the scabs drop their own I can back in the pool which will be great!!
I’ve transitioned from Home Health PT to Outpatient PT. So I am going to a place twice a week where I pay people to torture me. They give me homework to do so my therapy cat Lizzie checks it to make sure we are doing everything right. She’s a funny cat. Whenever I got on the bed to do something, she’s right up there with me. If you don’t have a therapy cat I suggest getting one.
I’ve started taking Heather’s cardio drumming classes again. I started out seated and now I can stand for half the class before I have to use the chair.
Last week I went on my first walk all by my lonesome. First I had to check out a fire we had in the greenbelt behind our house. Apparently a squirrel shorted out a transmission line, caught on fire and dropped into some brush which caught on fire. The fire department on was on it quickly fortunately.
I went on walking and heard this loud bird. I could see him but couldn’t figure out what it was so I fired up the iMerlin app on my phone.
Brown Thrasher it said. A new addition to my life list!
Found a big field of henbit. Years past I would attack in our yard but I’ve come to find out that it is an important source of food in the spring for pollinators. So now I let it be.
My little outing was a little less than a mile and left me exhausted, sore, and very happy. Time to get back to the house and put some ice on the leg. So yep, things are looking up.
I am linking with Skywatch Friday
…have fun with the physical terrorist.
I’m glad you’re healing well. We have the same problem with squirrels and power lines. I remember one spring (that’s the really dry time at the end of winter which is dry season). A squirrel ran across a power line and shorted out the line. He dropped dead but a spark started a fire with all the dry brush around. It spread quickly.
I’m glad to see that you are healing well and back to walking and taking Heather’s exercise classes again! I think your scar is longer than my husband’s coronary bypass scar! I’m also glad the fire in your area was put out quickly. We’ve had a few very windy, dry days with red Flag warnings, which always makes me nervous. Let’s hope for good weather rin April!
That’s one heck of a scar! Glad you have Lizzie there to keep you in line, and wonderful that you are up and about again!
Me alegra que que estés mejor. Buenas fotos. Te mando un beso.
I’m sure she’s not only your PT supurrvisor, she’s also a nurse kitty. You’ll heal fast with her around.
Great to know your knee is healing well! Godspeed recovery!
I’m glad to hear your are recovering nicely and undergoing therapy. Going for short walks will no doubt be exhausting until you get used to it. Take care.
Hi Alan – I have been away from blogging for a bit – glad to be making the rounds and seeing how everyone is getting on. Wow, dude – that’s quite the scar – I hope the other guy got it just as good! LOL! Good news that you have been able to get out for a walk … I just linked up to Skywatch – thanks for hosting! Have a super weekend!
I had the best PT when I broke my shoulder. But you are right, they really put you through the paces. Hope you regain full movement soon.
Glad to hear your knee is healing and you’re getting back into the swing of things!
Lizzie sounds like the best workout buddy.
Hope you keep feeling better and get back in the pool soon!
Beautiful blooms.
Wish a speedy recovery!
Glad you feel better, Prayers for your speedy recovery.
Beautiful photos. Take care.
Looks like you are recovering well, it is nice that Lizzie is there to help you!
The ground cover flowers are pretty, it is nice to leave the first blooms for the pollinators.
Keep walking! Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
Cats do think they are little humans. When reading the paper, they are right there. When working on the computer, they stretch across the keyboard. If one exercise they get right under a person so you can’t do it. Cats are characters and part of the family for sure. Glad you were sitting now you are standing in exercise class. Good job!
Lizzy is a great nurse ~ so glad you are ‘mending’ well ~ day at a time ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I love that picture of Lizzie! I quit going to physical therapy again because it was just leaving me too sore. I told them I will ask the orthopedic doctor about going back when I see him on Tuesday. My knees feel like they’re on fire and I have almost fallen a couple of times.
It sounds like you are recovering well. Keep up the good work.
Physical terrorists is right on the mark, but I have to say that, years ago, they unfroze my frozen shoulder I am happy to hear of your continued recovery.
