I made it to the pool this evening and had a long swim. I exercised my bad knee and the rest of my body.
A daddy was there, challenging his 4-year-old son to swim farther. Of course, he (the kid) challenged me to make it to the far wall first. He always won.
Aditi stopped by on her bicycle (with her helmet on) and said "Hi Horse!" I said hi back but didn't get to ask her if she goes swimming sometimes. She has known me since she was young. She is about six now.
I am going to get some gas and smokes and call it a night. My knee feels pretty good. I can actually walk several yards (metres) without crutches.
My left ankle looks like a balloon. I think it's called "edema." I am going to survive this.

Don't forget to prop up the ankle so you can reduce the swelling. And, you are doing quite well.

I emptied my pool yesterday... it wouldn't stay inflated anyway.

@TheHorse Found the leak in the bottom rung, middle one seemed to hold but top one didn't. Friend will come by with leaf blower again and we'll try again.

Prop up that ankle and watch your salt intake. Have a good day.

Glad your knee is feeling better, In this terrible hot weather my feet swell so I wear flip-flops around the house,
