A very good day

Started out today with my coffee cup
of the day photo at my messy desk, then a walk in the yard while there were still shadows as the sun was peeping through the trees.


I decided to try my hiking boots on over my new and improved ankle to see how bad a growl it would make! NONE! So I walked down the road a ways and back up. Almost a mile. Felt some twinges but nothing major.

This was all before 9am as I had a follow up appointment at the orthopedic doctor! He said “ I can’t really do anything else for you so I am going to turn you loose!” And NO PT! He said whatever I was doing exercise wise was working as well or better than anything I would get at PT. He also said he did not think I would have any problem with arthritis in the future because my ankle healed so well and I had strong bones!

Eleven weeks tomorrow since the surgery. I am already thinking about places to walk that are not steep, rocky or full of roots! And waiting on temperatures to drop down to something besides hot and humid!
