Goodness, I disappear for a day and everyone comes to visit!
I love that you all check in and make me smile!

dogwheels , I'm SO glad that you found me again! I've missed you! You're right about the stairs, my quads are for shat (hee hee, UK - speak, wonder if it will auto-change it to some ridiculous word that doesn't fit) and that's why I have a hard time going up stairs. The only thing required to go down is bend and faith that you won't face plant!
Ooooh, I do hope you enjoyed your wine! I need to up my happy hours. I think you're all correct in that the amount that I worry about my knee, my swelling, my limping, etc... is in direct correlation to the lack of happy hours. I'll get right on that!
@
Billy I hope you enjoyed your nice sunny day and cocktail! Or wine. Or whatever! I love your 'who knows what tomorrow may bring, so enjoy today' mentality. I have a hard time remembering that one.

Nana moon 27 , uhm, 8 trips TOTAL on the stairs or 8 trips up AND 8 trips down? Either way, that's a lot of trips my sweet. I know it sucks to stare at the ceiling and be stuck on one floor (believe me, I know), but you have GOT to get yourself better! Your knee, your asthma, your throat, your chest infection.....everything is fighting against the other for the strength and ability to heal so you have to be extra careful (lazy). I want you to get back to your perky peppy smart alecky self!
@
saltyal , I totally need to stop concentrating so hard on how to walk and just walk! I'm so impressed that you beach walking and trail walking at 8 weeks! I'm still not sure footed enough to try anything other than pavement or my back yard (which is small).
I've been off from PT for @10 days and when I start back on Tuesday, I will let him know that I really want to work on strengthening exercises as well as balance and gait ones. I don't want to do squats for heaven's sake as my knee hates those, but there's got to be other quad exercises other than the leg press that will help!
Okay all, grab your drinks .................. I got a house!
It is NONE of the 3 I was trying for. It just came on the market yesterday and by the time I got over to see it, the agent had told my realtor not to bother as he wasn't accepting any other offers!
Of course we ignored him and a huge cluster f* of circumstances followed, but I loved it, put in my offer and won!!! It's TINY, but has a fireplace (which I love, yes, even in AZ) and is cute as a button. I'm so very excited. One of the best parts is that the seller requested a long close of escrow, so I've got almost 2 months to get my poop in gear!
drinks on me!!
