Two Miles

I made my 2 mile walk yesterday for the first time in nearly 3 months. It went really good. I still need about 20 degrees in motion yet, but it seems to be coming. I can climb upstairs, not downstairs and put my foot on the floor when I am sitting. Yesterday I took the paddleboat out in the lake, always before I was tied to the dock for my paddleing. It's been a quiet summer, it's all about recovery and therapy. Hopefully I am near the end.
What happened to my garden? With all this warm wet weather, I thought I'd have alot of tomatoes, but not so. They are few and ripening small. My zucchini was a total bust. The cucumbers are growing well, so that means I need to can some pickels today. The raspberries were scarce and I only got one batch of jam. The blackberries aren't ripe yet, which is late.

Happy Birthday to Elizabeth

Happy Birthday 9 year old.

22 Degrees

I started physical therapy this week, My knee started at 60 degrees bend and have through Josh's torture reached 82 degrees. I need to reach 120 degrees. It seems like my life has been taken over by my rehab excercises. I did water aerobics in Hayward yesterday, the pool makes everything a little easier, it's just I have to expose my leg to everyone. We launched the paddle boat yesterday, because that paddling motion is what I need. I'm still tied up to the dock, because I'm not ready to head out into the lake by myself yet. I'm going to be ready to walk the beaches and line-dance by this winter.

Happy Birthday Deb
