On my way home from a long weekend away. The 5-hr drive was the longest since my knee replacements and I really should have stopped a couple of times on the way, but I didn't think about it. I was really stiff upon arrival, but all was well after I walked around a bit. Had a great time walking around in some very cold weather. (Okay, I know almost all of you had MUCH colder weather, but 25 degrees in Florida is arctic to me. Glad to be heading home to Orlando. 70 tomorrow, I understand.) My knees are 6 1/2 months old and 3 1/2 months old. I remember they are new when I first stand up, and stairs are still no fun, but I can walk on a flat surface with no problem. Faithfully going to the gym 3 x week, and gradually adding more machines, reps, weight and time. My brain works again, and I am interested in trying new things and challenging myself. All you folks in the dark days of early recovery, hang in there. It is so worth it. My world is expanding again. Hope all my bonesmart friends are doing well!
