Snow Day

More snow today. Bob shoveled a path to the garage so that I can get to PT at 11:30. Still can't do a full rotation on the bike (trying a higher seat next time), but don't need a cane to walk around the gym. Increased weights to 50 lbs. on the leg press. Can now bend to 105 degrees, on a day when my flexibility seemed limited to me. I was not overly tired at the end of the session, for the first time.

I went with Bob to pick up his new snowblower at Sears in the early afternoon. Who would ever have thought that a trip to Sears would be an exciting and welcome excursion? Best thing is that Bob is very happy with the new machine! No buyer's remorse, as I had feared.

We stopped for coffee at Coffee Bené on Cleveland and enjoyed watching the snow blow past the window. I move fairly easily in and out of the Yukon now, but was thrown a little off balance this morning when a man many years my senior, celebrating the 4-week anniversary of his knee replacement, walked into the clinic without even a cane! Said he had forgotten it. A little deflating for me, still depending on crutches outdoors because I'm afraid of falling on the ice.

A full night's sleep is still in my future, but I must be getting enough rest because I feel reasonably energetic during the day.
