And the Good News Is

I got discharged from therapy this morning. I'm doing very well with my knee in fact, I got to 120 degrees this morning without any help from the therapist.

I'm very happy with how things are going. I expect to be back in therapy in two weeks for my left knee. My son is trading his vehicle and talking about trading mine too. I agree with him. They wanted to talk to me tomorrow, but that's out of the question as I'll be in total isolation after I get home from my appointments tomorrow. I have my post-op appointment followed by the COVID test. He told the person I'm having surgery on Monday. It will be interesting to see what the trade-in would be for my car. I'm sure he'll tell me what they want to give me for it. So, all good news this morning. Monday is getting closer.

How is your day going? The image is mine.

@just4him I bet, my knees were very vocally protesting today with the rainy weather.

@BelleStarr My left knee was the same with the weather we had here. I will be very happy when the left knee is done. I hope your knees feel better today.

You are doing well with your first knee operation. I wish the second op will be going well. My day has started. It looks gloomy outside.

I'm glad you're knee healed so quickly and that you'll still have the surgery next week. It's it the pre op appt you had rather than the post of our maybe they're done together? My post op was one to two weeks after the surgery.

@just4him maybe it's done that way when the surgeries are back to back. Mine were supposed to be a year apart but it turned into two as I had ulcers on my foot when surgery was scheduled.

This is my first appointment since surgery. It's labeled as post-op. No doubt it will also be pre-op since I have my next surgery on Monday.

@CarolDM We had rain this morning. Maybe you're getting our weather, but I don't think it moves that fast. Is it from the hurricane?

I am so happy you got your knee to bend where it needed to before your next surgery. Praying as you get your test done in the morning and ready for your surgery Monday. You got a lot of snow already. We had the remnants of Zeta this morning. Our power flickered but never went out. 60% of our county did. Our Wal Mart closed because of no power. A lot of downed trees and flooding. Hope you get a good deal on your car. That would be great.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to the next surgery. I'm glad you didn't have a power outage. I'm sorry so many people did. I hope it won't take long to clean up the damage. It would be nice to get a good deal on the car.
