| The tools of recovery |
Judy had her knee replaced on Tuesday, Nov. 18. She spent one day ( I spent four) in the hospital. She started physical therapy four days later ( I started eight days later). Now nine days later, she's developed a three times daily exercise regimen, jettisoned her walker (I still use mine), and is scampering around here like a nimble mountain goat. Her swelling is way down and last night she slept a full six hours uninterrupted by discomfort. Baring unforeseen events, she looks to be ready to resume our road trip on schedule (Jan. 13). By the way, she has been slapping me silly on the cribbage board. She's still up to her old wily tricks of moving the front peg after she counts and things such as that but nonetheless, Life is good, especially today. We give thanks for all of you. We, ourselves, have much to be grateful for, and we are.

| No wonder she's grinning. The food is great!! |
There she goes,taking a lap with one of the cute PTs.
This is the morning of the day after surgery.
She won this game, despite her morphine induced stupor.
Notice the even breathing.
The swelling is now about half of what it was. Great sign!
She's religious about her workouts, three/day.
This is her leaning exercise. We call it the phone perch.
