@madinana ah, that pesky tight band feeling that wraps around the knee? Hubby had that til fairly recently. It will go away. I think we need to all go join marmora at her rehab, sounds really nice!! Did they ever get your new electric pole in? I think I might get a nap this afternoon. We might go to an outdoor concert if it cools off a little tonight. It was a lot nicer out yesterday! I really hate Missouri summers.

@madinana hope you are feeling better. I have the same problem....PT comes and I swell up and get stiff. Yesterday OT came and massaged my swollen ankle. Felt great but...nothing changed. But we just have to hang in there. It all takes time. You are only 3 weeks out.
@tiredwife Yes, that pesky tight band feeling, all around the knee. I assume it is from swelling but who knows? Drives me crazy when I try to walk.

@Gingiebot don't know if it is from swelling, hubby had it even when he wasn't that swollen. Then one day it just disappeared! Poof gone! His knee still swells when he is on it too much, but the tight band hasn't come back. Just one of those things I guess.
@madinana was going to go to bed early, but hubby decided he was going to make funnel cakes (saving the pie for tomorrow.) Oh well I am putting on weight with him not working, but I will loose hopefully when he goes back to work.

@madinana Good Morning! Still have funnel cake left if you want some! You better be careful, DO NOT FALL ANYWHERE expecially down your stairs. 
1/2 an ambien and Hubby slept for 5 1/2 hours straight!
Trying to get some laundry done before going to a baby shower for the neighbors daughter.
You have a great elephant free day!
