Good morning all,
The temperature was 49* when I got up today. And they are calling for rain all day. I guess Summer is finally over. I noticed yesterday when I was out that none of our trees have changed color yet though. I hope we do get some pretty leaves before it gets to late in the year. I love Fall. It is one of my favorite times of year. I had a rough time at PT yesterday. She put me on a bicycle for 10 minutes and I cycled .6 mile. That wasn't so bad and she was surprised that I could do the cycling. But then we started working on the exercises. Not too bad because I was doing them at home. But then she started a massage on the lower muscles. Real pain. I'm not sure what she was pushing on but she had to go more gently. I think there may be some fluid there that she is trying to move up the leg. She had me on a wedge pillow which elevated my feet over my heart. I am thinking about getting one from Amazon so I can elevate both legs after Monday. My recliner does not elevate them that high. After that I had E-stims machine for 11 minutes and I was laying down. The table is really hard and my hip started to bother me. So I sat up and they gave me the same wedge pillow to lean against. I did make dinner last night and we have some left over. I start my special soap with my shower tonight. I want to read my directions again about the day of surgery so I know what to do on Monday morning. And I want to wash my bedclothes today and towels. They have to be clean after I do the special shower washing tonight.
Have a good one.

Becki, that sounds so painful. Prayers for you as you prepare for the second surgery. Soon it will all be over. Hugs.
Happy Anniversary to Phyl & Don! Hope you have a wonderful day.

I haven’t been here for a few days, but I do read your posts to keep up with all of you. Becki, I pray your second knee surgery goes as well as the first, or even better if that is possible. I’m sorry for all the pain you are still having from the first one.. Do you have a painfree goal? Maybe by Thanksgiving, or Christmas? Or by 2019? Or am I expecting too much? I really have no idea since Ihave not needed it. DH had one knee replaced but I don’t remember how long his recovery was.
Phyl, Happy Anniversary! How many years? Don’t quit WW. They might not care and know the difference, but I do. I don’t have a smart phone, only my trusty little Tracfone which only makes and receives calls, or sends messages. I have their ap on my iPad but only have used it to record my weight after wi. Oh, I do look up restaurants for points of certain foods sometimes, but I don’t use it to check for points while shopping. Too big to handle for that. I don’t know if some of that has changed since I haven’t been to a meeting since the change. Marlene, it will stay in the 40’s today, but the sun is very bright right now. I’m thinking it is probably the same for you. Jazmin is sleeping on the carpet in a bright sunny spot. She loves the heat and can take much more than myself.

morning, was up before 4. went back to be at 7 up at 9.
today we will go the craft show. tonight will be the outback.
becki I will start the thread for you.the pt was probably trying to loosen up some tight muscles.
mary they are not changing freestyle so far. I have the tracfone android. I should be able to get the app. just don't want the app on my phone.
the reason some brands of phones don't work in the stores is because of the ceilings.open beam ceilings are the worse.
don is outside taking down the garden fence.
marlene thank you for the well wishes. phyl.
