Happy First Birthday to New Knee #1! She's behaving like a champ. It was a rainy day today and I was itching for a walk so I took a 30-minute, 1.5 mile walk inside my house. Yes, really. I live in a 3-story house (counting the basement) and the stairs are at one end of the house so I walked the length of the top floor (back and forth) and down the stairs, same on the middle floor and down the stairs, same in the basement, and then worked my way back to the top in the same manner over and over and over.... Just for added adventure, I made a loop around the sofa each time I passed the family room on the middle level, and a loop around the pool table each time I passed it in the basement. I ended up going down 17 flights and up 17 flights of stairs. New knees #1 & #2 were very cooperative. The dog must have thought I'd lost my mind. He waited on the middle level and ran like a maniac every time I went past. I celebrated with hot cocoa. After all, it was below 70° on the Gulf Coast. It was almost cool enough for long sleeves.
