Best day in ages

I had my last day of therapy on Thursday. It is not bothering me now, but I am going to keep up the exercises. I also went to see Dr Turner about my knee. I ended up getting a cortisone shot in it. I can not believe how good it feels today. Hopefully it will last through Christmas and then the next time it flares up, I am going in and get it rebuilt. Thursday evening we went to James first band concert. The kids did great! I posted a video on You Tube.

Afterwards it was off to Coldstone, I think I have a new favorite, Founders Choice made with Peanut Butter ice cream.

Only 6 more shopping days left!

More therapy

More Therapy today, the shoulder is getting much better. I made up a rope and pulley system like one they have me using. I used it this weekend to workout and I think it helped. Today they had me do some more exercises that I can do at home. After Therapy, we did a little shopping at Fred Meyer and headed home. About 15 or 20 minutes and the knee was ready to quit. I don't normally look forward to doctor appointments, but I am ready to see the orthopedic surgeon on Thursday. I understand the new knees are good for 25 years, 70 + 25 = 95, which would be great!

Hope you stayed dry today!

Therapy

More therapy on my shoulder today. I had a new therapist today. For a small lady, she sure is strong. I did not know my arm would go the far up. I got a real workout today! It is helping, I have a better range of movement and it is not waking me up at night when I roll over onto it.

Afterwards, Vera and I went to the Country Village for lunch and then hit Fred Meyer to pick up a few things. The therapy must have tired me out as I sat down to put some heat on the shoulder and ice on the knee when we got home and ended up taking a big nap. Watched the Steelers get beat, not much of a crowd there with the wind chill making it -21.

Hope you got a chance to enjoy the beautiful sunshine today.
