Well here it is another Monday and my therapy went pretty well. I am getting therapy on both knees (before it was just the one with the replacement knee) because all the support for most any movement involves putting all my (considerable) weight on the "good" knee which was feeling the burden. So now it is readily apparent how far I have to go before I can walk without a walker or cane. But I won't give up. I wish my mother were still here, she had knee replacement done 10 years before she passed, and I wonder now that she never got out of her wheelchair, what she thought about me having the same procedure, and at what point did she give up on therapy? I will never know.
The temperature today was a steady 60 degrees, for the third of Feb! Before we moved here, we were doing a look-see for N to check out his job, and the people he would be working with, while they got a look at him. Anyway, our first night at the Holiday Inn it snowed buckets (and we were coming from San Fran), and the rental car did not have snow tires. He called and they sent another car (while they probably thought he was being a wuss) and when they went to the first car to drive it away, it wouldn't start. Click. That was it. Anyway, everyone remarked that it was their first snow that winter. On February 5th. It didn't make us feel any better. Anyway, he took the job and retired 35 years later. And we always had snow tires. Chains even. And we never got stuck. Let's hear it for Subarus.
Around here they call student tires "snow tires". That means they still have tread.
I've given up following the election news, and I won't donate any more money either. I just don't have that energy anymore, and I am sure, in my heart, that the miserable wretch in office will win. My question is, after the end of his second term if he will actually leave, or will he declare some 'trumped' up emergency that he will stay to be a dictator? And even if he does leave, will our country ever be the same? Will the last honest person in Washington please turn out the lights when she leaves?
Who did you think I meant? We will see.
I am too tired to go any further, so thanks for tuning in and reading this far. Take care!
