I had a good therapy session this morning. On Friday my knee was at 90 degrees. This morning I got the bend to 101. I have 9 degrees left to go.
I asked when I could start pool therapy. She looked at my incision and said not yet. All the scabs need to be gone. It's almost there. They have a pool at the therapy center.
So things are going well. I needed to ice the knee when I got home. That gave me a nice hour and a half nap.
I also needed to go to the store this morning after the therapy session. I needed bananas. I also picked up more compression stockings since I had only one pair plus the one single they gave me in the hospital. I also got readers for the computer. It's like looking through a magnifying glass. At least it's easier to read on the computer.
When I looked at the weather this morning they said we would get rain. Yep, it's pouring out there with thunder.
It's looking good. I'm doing better every day with my knee. If things go this well with the other one, I can see me back to normal activities sooner than expected.
That's my morning. How is your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

You certainly sound like you're making excellent progress. Bet you can't wait to get back in the pool.

@MommyOfEli2013 The sooner I get to that goal, the better and I won't need to worry about the surgery as I need to be at 110 for them to do the next surgery.

@crazyhorseladycx Yes, I'll be happy to have access to the Ortho pool. I'm finding I can do more as my knee gets better.
I hope you get rain soon or has your rainy season come and gone? Poor Mr. Rocky. I hope he doesn't shock easily and he appreciates his supper today.
I didn't know he liked watching the birds.

They have a pool at the Orthopedic Center so I'll be using theirs. Yes, the Y is open. You need to sign up to use it as they only take so many people at a time.
The sun is out again. It rained for a couple of hours. It was much needed.
I'm glad the birds got their baths this morning.

I'm glad your therapy is going good, going to the pool will eventually be allowed. We're expecting rain this afternoon, any time now. Jay went hunting yesterday, his friend shot a deer.

Thank you. I'm glad it will be soon.
You're most likely getting the storm we're getting right now. I think I saw it moving off in your direction.
Is it hunting season in your neck of the woods? We don't have hunting season until close to Thanksgiving.

I went to the dentist. Was to have build up and impression for a crown. The tooth had a lot of decay, but when it was drilled out I did not need a root canal (yay). When I went to check out the process cost me less. (yay, again)

Nothing to envy. I have a long way to go and another surgery before I'll be pain-free. Every day is a little better.
I'm glad you like the photo. It's from the local Botanical Gardens.
