Jenny FxI am going back to pilates today. Let's see how that goes.
Back to work on Monday. My #newknee hiatus is ending. Back to regular life. If I learned anything it's that I could happily retire. I had absolutely no problem filling my days.
It's only been a week but I am going to miss doing my #newknee exercises here every morning. #Hawaii
Had to get the full pat down at TSA thanks to #NewKnee but no sign of ICE anywhere at least. Took about 40 mins to get through security.
Off to visit my mom for my last little bit of #newknee recuperation time before I go back to work. Not my fault that means a trip to Hawaii. 🌴🥥🌺
I had fun today with Sing Out Louise at the #NYC #NoKings march. We did a few sets at Columbus Circle and then quite a few on the way. 2.5hrs to get from W57th to W42nd. My #newknee had had enough at that point so I baled. The crowd filled two avenues.
Here's the protest songs we were singing. In the key of FU!

I've been working on this puzzle since shortly after my #NewKnee surgery. I do it while practicing bending my leg. It was one of the most difficult puzzles I've done, resorting to grouping the pieces by shape and then trial and error for the sea and the sky. Even the skyline was harder than you'd expect. But it's done now.
Seeing as it's sunny and marginally above freezing, I took #Eloise the ten blocks to the dog park and back. She was very good about staying on the side of the trees so I didn't have to walk on the frozen snow. The hardest bit was the mountaineering I had to do to pick up the poop. My #newknee was a little swollen when we got back but not too bad at all. She got to play with other big dogs and now she's asleep so I get to ice it in peace.
#newknee update One of my new exercises is standing on one leg for 30 secs and I can do that better than I could before the surgery My ankle was always fighting with my knee before and I was very wobbly but now I can just do it!
The PT pushed it to 108⁰ today which is apparently good. I was 100⁰ by myself which is an improvement on the 90⁰ I was last time.
I don't have much pain but it still keeps swelling above the knee and that gets uncomfortable so I am still icing a lot.
