It's been along time since I have posted anything here.. On Dec. 27th I had total knee surgery. OUCH~! It hurts a lot, but the old saying is "No pain ~ no gain~!".. So here I am with a leg that hurts but at the end of this long road I'll be able to have a normal life and be able to walk on trails again and go geocaching and have fun with Ben. Exercising twice a day and going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week, the ole knee is getting better.. Ice is my friend and pain pills. Give it another month and hopefully this pain will go away and I have a good bend.. So far I have gotten it to bend 108 degrees...Have to have 116 to ride a bike.. Just being able to sit down at a movie theater or be on a plane where one can bend the knee when someone wants to get out of their seat would be good enough for me.
Today ~ it's Sunday . Got up early and got my exercises done ~ got on the stationary bike for 10 minutes and now I'm icing my knee.. It always feels good after a work out to apply the ice.
Now it's time for a nap. Hopefully I can continue writing in my blog , I get so tired so quick. Have a Tiggeriffic Day~ta ta for now from Iowa:)

Good to hear from you. Glad the surgery went alright. Hope that you have speedy healing so you can be out geocaching this spring!
You did it! Enjoyed your blog today...the pictures of Ben are fun, especially the star. Hope you have a better week with less pain. We rode over Cold Mountin and Mt.Pisgah yesterday. We agreed we didn't have time, but we got curious and wanted to see the town of Brevard and before you knew it we were driving up and up and around and around. Dizzying.
So glad you are on the mend. Be faithful to your workout...it will make all the difference.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Drink lots of Ensure. In my opinion,it's great for all that ails you.
I am so glad you are doing okay! My fil had knee surgery! It made a world of difference for him.
I am glad that you are recovering well after your knee surgery!
