Al and I left for Winston around 10 this morning for my noon haircut appointment. From there we went to their house to pick up Frances.

From their house we drove to my 2:15 appointment with my ortho doctor for my four week followup. All is well. I can start driving next week and go back to gym to continue getting my knee stronger.

After my appointment we stopped at Lowe’s in Winston to see what flowers I could find for my pots. From there we headed home stopping at a small road side plant place in Elkin and to eat dinner at Dodge City.

I guess we got home about 6;30.

After a cloudy start to the morning we have clear skies and temperatures in the low 70’s with 15 plus mph wind gusts.

Al is working outside trimming bushes, pulling weeds, etc. With me not being able to keep it under control on a daily basis it’s a mess. I am going out periodically to try to help but at this point I am still not able to do a whole lot of bending and stooping. Hopefully before too long I can get back at it.

James will show up sometime this afternoon to mow.

Sunshine this morning. Rain and thunderstorms started around noon. So far about half an inch of rain. Temperatures in the upper 70’s.

Al is on the way up from Winston to help out with some errands that need run and some things done inside and outside depending on the weather.

Frances is sending up leftovers from Al’s big birthday party last Sunday for our dinner.

Happy birthday to Al and remembering Bob.

Today is sunny, cool, and breezy with temperatures in the low 70’s.

Guess I will finish the dusting and do my exercises this morning. PT come this afternoon. Otherwise, not much else on the menu for the day.

Mostly sunny and breezy today with temperatures in the low 70’s.

I cleaned the bathrooms then decided to tackle the vacuuming while the towels washed and dried. I did a room then sat down and rested, did another room, etc, etc. Did get it done. May leave the dusting for tomorrow.

Did my exercises and iced the knee after the housework. That’s it for the day but made some progress.

Lots of clouds and breezy today with temperatures in the mid 60’s but no rain which we need.

PT came this morning. Knee is progressing but it’s a slow process. I will do another set of exercises this afternoon.

I savedĀ  few odds and ends chores to take care of this afternoon.

Mostly sunny and breezy again today with temperatures in the low 80’s. We had a brief shower last night that lasted around 30 minutes; maybe 2 tenths of an inch.

James came earlier than his usual time to mow due to the threat of possible storms this afternoon.

I ran the dishwasher this morning. Water all over the kitchen floor and on the floor of the unfinished area of the basement underneath. I called George to let him know. He came around 1 to put the part in that will hopefully fix the problem. If not, I’ll have to buy a new dishwasher.

Another warm, mostly sunny day with temperatures in the low 80’s.

Yesterday I took the shower chair out and started taking my showers standing. During my PT session yesterday afternoon I did the 13 stairs from the upstairs to the downstairs. Knee is still stiff with some pain but the swelling is going down. I am only icing after exercise sessions.

PT came again this afternoon. We added another new exercise for me to try tomorrow.

Another quiet day. I did a few odds and ends around the house. I am waiting on my PT to show up.

Still having problems with the fridge freezing. I called the repair guy and talked to his wife. He will call me back.

I did take the trash bag out to the street this morning.

This afternoon I changed the sheets and did a few odds and ends in the kitchen. Other than that not much else going on.
