A nice sunny, calm day.
My friends Nancy and Betsy came up from Winston for a visit. They arrived around 11:15 and brought lunch. They left around 2. It was so good to see them. Nancy came to visit when I was in rehab but I have not seen Betsy since February.
Heidi will be here later this afternoon. We are still getting some household chores taken care of. She needs to take me over to the library at some point to pick up a book.
I am reading Here Comes Santa Paws by Laurien Berenson
28 degrees this morning. Winds are still at 15 mph but not gusting the way they were yesterday. Lots of sunshine with a high in the mid 40’s.
I have PT and OT today. Also, Heidi will be here this afternoon. I have several household chores she is going to help me with.
Sunny, windy, and cold today. 41 degrees with winds gusting 25 to 30 mph. Feels like 31.
The nurse came today and removed the staples. There is still a lot of swelling but with the staples out I will gain a little bit more mobility.
Evelyn came this morning at 7:30 to help with feeding Colin and help with my breakfast. Heidi will not be here until late this afternoon to help me with my dinner and cleanup.
My lower back is still giving me a lot of trouble which is not making rehabbing the knee any easier.
Al drove me down to Winston this morning. We left at 8:45. We stopped at Costco, Lowes, and the pet store and back home a little after 1.
Fog and rain down and back. It’s windy, cloudy, and damp here with a chance of rain.
Al drove us over to Boone this morning so I could get my car serviced. It was way over due with me being out of commission for the last seven months. An hour and half drive each way plus waiting time for the service. I’m about done in.
It was at least a nice day for a drive. Sunny and warm.
I had PT, OT, and a nurse visit this morning.
Al went to the grocery store for me and also returned and picked up a book from the library and stopped by the vets to pick another six month supply of heart worm medicine for Colin.
A nice fall day with lots of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 50’s.
We had somewhere between 7 and 8 inches of rain from Tuesday night through this morning.
Al is Winston. My friends from Winston were supposed to come for a visit but decided not to come due to the weather and warnings. I think most of the rain has moved out of here but I read down the mountain there was a lot trees down and heavily wet road conditions. This is the second time they have tried to come and been deterred by a coastal weather system.
PT came to give me my shower. Otherwise, I am home alone. I did my knee exercises this morning and need to do another set this afternoon.
I am reading Death in Hyde Park by Robin Paige.
A nice fall day with warm temperatures and very little wind. My favorite fall birds are back at my feeder, down woodpeckers, nuthatches and tufted titmouse.
Al is doing some household chores. I had PT, nurse, and OT today. I am bending the knee 70 percent. Pretty good for less than a week out from surgery.
