First warmer days of the season! Since yesterday, the valley and even the foothills are getting ready for the long hot summer. It has been a long cool and lovely spring and I already miss it.
It has been easier for me to walk and exercise because of the really crisp weather we got this year.
Today I had physical therapy early morning and for the first time since my post surgery I was sweating.
A couple of new exercises have been added to my program, both squats to strengthen the muscles of the leg.
I am doing better with them and it's only because my extension is also a little better.
I wasn't measured today and will ask for it on Monday which will be my last session before my return early August.
I'm a little nervous to be on my own but I have been doing so much alone that I should be okay. Both the surgeon and therapist have asked me to call if I need to.
I will look for a gym near our cabin so I can get to use an elliptical and other equipment if the weather doesn't allow bike rides and walks.
I am preparing my bag with my various accessories and I intend to come back with a great knee. Well, at least not worst.
We'll see in August if surgery is or not necessary to get rid of the scars tissues that are still in my way.
This afternoon is exciting as I am taking my very first walk around the lake with my hiking buddy. We have been visiting each other but between my difficulties to walk until recently, our busy lives and the rain we haven't been yet able to walk together.
She has been joking that perhaps today is her chance to beat me.
I didn't tell her that I will let her win!
