Sadie Hawkins Prances


My little Sadie is lonely by herself. It is hard to see her cling to Pat and me, but we won't get another puppy at this time in our lives. It is hard to travel with pets. Sadie will go with us and we will be a happy threesome. Now, please don't tell me this is a spoiled little pomeranian. Look at the stack of pillows.............

My knee surgery


It has now been 5 weeks since my knee surgery, and my progress improves every day. The doctor had told me I would have pains in odd places and bruises showing in odd spots, and sure enough, both of these have come true!! I have been going to the physical therapy appointments, and boy do they ever give me a workout. I learned to love the recumbent bike, and also the little shocking stimulus treatments, with ice bags also. Oh, the numbing would feel so good. I am so much better and will continue to improve. I will faithfully walk, even if I don't feel like it. It is already much better.
This picture shows my compassionate best friend for the first 2 weeks after surgery. It would bend my leg at different degrees and I know it was my best recovery tool. Odd, isn't it?!
