Good morning.  PT was just here and she seems happy with my progress.  See her again on Thursday and the Surgeon on Friday.  We even practiced going down my front steps with a cane so I am ok to leave the house on Friday.  Felt so nice to be out into the real world again!  

Not much else for my day.  Going to do a couple small loads of laundry - what will fit into my basket on the front of my walker and that should be about it.

Take care

Hello on this 2nd day in December!   We have some slippery roads here, and some white out conditions.  And of course I have to go to the Dentist tomorrow morning and navigate the highway into town.   I just want it overwith!!   

I exercised though, 30 minute spin class and 25 minutes of shoveling.

@JudyL glad things are moving along nicely for you.   Soon you will be "cuttin a rug"  Get the dancing shoes ready!

Watching The Broncos, where are my CO gals?

Is it Spring yet!

 I was busy yesterday getting gifts wrapped and being more organized about it. I also have 2 birthday friends I buy for and was wrapping their gifts.. Plus it was a nice day and I got in a fairly long walk- not in nature- like place- but still nice to be outside.

 Yes, @bopper  watched the Broncos.. Whew! Thank goodness for our defense! It wasn't our best effort last night- but a win is a win. Now we are on bye for week 14.. Our playoff hopes are alive. I think they said last night it had been about 9 years since we have been in the playoffs. Your big game is this Thurs.. against he Packers!!

  Good luck at the dentist.. I forget what you were going for. Hope it goes smoothly.

 And @JudyL - you are coming right along with your knee - good news.

  Heading to the rec center early - I go at 5am.  It's been a week since it was closed on Thanksgiving. Time to do some weights..

 And  then it'll be  grocery shopping and hopefully outside- Our weather is gonna be mild all week- yippee!!

  Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

Feel like I've taken 3 steps back in my recovery.  The pain the last couple of days has been pretty bad.  PT came yesterday and she was not surprised because she not only increased the number of reps I'm doing but also gave me more exercises to do.  Feel a bit discouraged but she promised it will get better.  So did a friend who has been through this so guess I'll have to believe them for now.

Won't be doing much today.  Have a good Tuesday.

Hey all, well dentist is done.  It was a cleaning but I freak out over that too.  No cavities yay!  Finally good news at the dentist.

Yep the big Thursday game!  Go LIONS!   My son said it was 60 there today!  We're under a winter storm warning!  

My back is sore I think from shoveling today.   

@JudyL stay positive, and trust the process.  It will improve!!!  You got this girl!

Time for bed here!

@bopper  Good news on your dental cleaning!! And it's over! 

 Yes, it was near 60 here in CO yesteday and mostly all sun! My kind of day and I took advantage and was outside walking in the afternoon.  We are going to be nice for the next several days.. I'll take it- esp. in Dec.

 It does appear that the Midwest and Eastern states are getting an early taste of winter.

   Colorado's turn will come..

    @JudyL  Agree with @bopper -  Stay the course - there will be better days ahead and trust the process.  To me it sounds like you are doing great.

 Wonder where our virtual friends are? Laura, Kate, Dr. Kelli.. others? Hope all is well with them!

Good morning, all!  Thought I'd better check in before @bopper yelled at me on FB. LOL!

Super busy at work and super not working out much.  My hips started bothering me again and I am going to call this morning for an appointment. Their website says 30 days before I can see anyone.  Ridiculous.

The new puppy is doing very well--she is a character.  But she is also very smart. She loves showing off at the dog park and is doing very well on commands.  Her brother is  meh. whatever.

I got one of those pilates boards that I have been seeing on Insta and FB, I hope that it is a little more gentle than jumping around. I've also been using my aeroski--only for 10  minutes at a time though.

@JudyL I must have missed what happened, but I hope that you continue to heal up--recovery can be a beast for sure.

As @violet runner said--we are having some really nice weather.  As a former mountain kid--I used to love snow--because SKIING.  Now that I have to drive in in--it's a no for me.  Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!  I'm counting the days until the end of the year--my last day of work is December 20 until January 2!  Take care of yourselves!

[bopper]

Hello, and yes @DrKelli I was about to send out the search party!!   Now what is a pilates board, I use a pilates reformer is that what you mean?  

@violet runner another warm day there.  My son was in shorts.  He said he cut the grass!

As we are under a winter storm warning until 7 pm tomorrow.   I shoveled my driveway and did 40 minutes on the bike, and 10 minutes upper body. 

Jammies are on check!   Dinner is cleaned up check!  Rockerfeller center Christmas tonight check!

Dark so early, I really don't like it!

Have a good night everyone!

I must have missed what happened, but I hope that you continue to heal up--recovery can be a beast for sure.

@DrKelli  - I had knee replacement surgery on November 13.
