This morning was the first therapy for my left knee. I hoped to be closer to 100 for the bend with a 90-degree minimum. I got to 90, so I'm happy. It was an evaluation of my range of motion with the knee. After stretching, bending, and lifting, I also worked out on the NUStep machine to help bend the knee. Believe it or not, the only pain right now is in my back. I have ice on it as I sit and type.
After therapy, we headed to Wal-Mart where I was only going to pick up Christmas cards. However, I saw my Christmas bear and had to get him, so I have a complete set of dated bears now. They didn't have them last year so I don't have 2019. I have four bears now. Two red and two blue. I picked up the blue one this morning. I also picked up a Christmas T-shirt. Plus my bananas. I almost forgot them. I used the last of them yesterday, so I didn't have a banana until a few minutes ago. Plus two boxes of 24 each Christmas cards. So everyone on my Christmas card list will soon see cards heading their way.
Yesterday, I got the second box for my recliner. My son looked over the living room setup and decided how to change the living room around so all three chairs will fit. The plan is for him to come tomorrow morning with my grandson to get it all changed around.
That has been my morning so far. Time to get the notifications worked. How is your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. A partial living room of how it will look again with the window seat in front of the window. This time the TV will be on the top portion of the window seat set up. I'll take a picture of it when it's finished.

@kobesbuddy I'm sure he'll appreciate it. I need to get my new bear with the other three. I also need to give him a name. In the picture, you see Buster and Snowflake. The blue girl is Trixie.

@just4him Thanks, Valerie:) After I took this picture, I threw Teddy into the washer! Climbing up there, I realized that he needs a bath

I am glad you got to 90. I am sorry your back is still not good, but, glad you are not having pain in either knee. I am so glad you got things you needed and the bananas. That is great that your son found the chairs to fit in the living room. If things go good then it will be a good day and if not then it will not be a good day.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for doing a job well done with your therapy :). I took up bachelor of science in physical therapy but unfortunately haven't been able to finish but based on what I have observed in rehab, the patient's cooperation and determination plays the biggest role in achieving fast and great progress in patient's recovery. Your willingness to live your everyday life normally like you didn't feel any pain on your back at all will really help you recover very soon. keep it up. :)

@marheiya86 Thank you. My knees are doing well. My back still has a ways to go before it's pain-free.
Welcome to myLot.

Hopefully, you show positive results with your therapy.
Been asked to join another team at work and I'm in a middle of a Zoom webinar presentation. I've seen this before but I was asked to join again to have a refresher. I'm thankful for all the new opportunities at work but I can't get over the fact how management has been negligent of how it is handling things during the pandemic.

@just4him I'm glad with the new opportunities as well. Negligent doesn't even begin to describe what they are doing.

I am glad that the therapy is going well
. That arrangement looks good and tidy to me. I would like to see how it looks after the rearrangement.
Have a good day there. I will be snoring in few minutes.

Glad therapy went well for you.
Glad you got everything you needed at the store this morning. I went too and it was extra busy. I knew it would be more so with Thanksgiving a couple days away but also the fear of everything being shut back down by our governor has everyone on edge. He changed his rules he set on Friday, we were 85% shut down until Dec. 4th. Then Monday he decided to make it 90% shut down until Dec 11th. We think before the 11th it will be back to 100% shut down.
I hope your son and grandson will get your living room the way you like it tomorrow. Looking forward to the pictures.
Hope your back feels better. Have a blessed evening.

Thank you.
I'm sorry you're almost fully shut down. I'm surprised we're not with our numbers so high.
I'm looking forward to getting the living room done tomorrow morning. I'll get the before and after pictures.
I hope you had a blessed day also.
