Winter

I went for the first knee appointment today and it seems that the treatment involves decompression (stretching) of the knee joint (on a piece of equipment), ultrasound, electrical stimulation and laser treatments.  There are some exercises and fascia work to do at home and the commitment is to 2 times a week for 6 to 8 weeks.  Sign me up!! The cost was reasonable and though not covered by insurance, there was a discount for paying up front or several other options for payments too.  I walked out after the first treatment feeling much better than when I walked in and tonight there is real improvement.  

The day began with temps in the low 60s and rainy a good part of the night.  It did clear up by 2 pm. and got much cooler.  A low in the 20s is predicted.  But my friends up north are expecting single digits with a below zero wind chill.  I'll take our crystal blue sky and starry night for tonight, but the pine cones did remind me that it is winter.
