Happy New Year to you too
@Sara61!
And to all the recovering and recovered Bone Smarties that have blessed me with their input, insight, and wisdom! Have a happy, healthy 2020!
Glad to hear you were able to fit a shower in,
@Sara61, before the intell/smart device kicked in! It is so funny with all of these smart devices...DH got one for the Christmas Lights....had me put it onto his phone, then he proceeded to set up individual clickers for the different sets, and didn't use it
. His excuse was he wants to "wear out" the clicker set up, then he'll graduate to the smart set up! Oh well, we all have our limits!
I'm working on knee recovery today...and for my 2020 goal! I'm finding it really has started to flair up after a full work day....in fact I'm seeing that my overall improvement has been so slow still and of course I've blamed the holidays, now I'm blaming work....I'm beginning to think I need to treat it like a mindfulness practice. I have alerts on my phone and when they pop up 4x a day I need to check in with my knee, stop whatever I'm involved in and (as I said earlier) be sure that I'm focusing on resting, icing and elevating! We'll see if this does the trick!
I haven't done any PT for 3 weeks now, some limited walks and recumbent riding, but enough ADLs that I'm sure I have made up for that! I'm going to ask for the pool therapy, starting in mid January...it is so good for my back I think it will help the knee too! I'll see what PT thinks.
Enjoy your New Year's Day!
