Sec. of two

Yesterday's was short so I'll give this some attention.  Yes...Ric...plan to wait till the snow melts for sure and maybe even more.  This past summer the garden suffered at the mouths of the deer.  No beans, few tomatoes.  And the deer tracks are still being seen in the snow at this point.  So garden.  If I plant it must be broccoli, cabbage and all that stuff with the hopes that the deer don't like them...And it's not a 10 on my rating chart.  So...garden might be put to rest.  I did have a dream last night the the deer didn't eat peppers. 

Pills...time is increasing between pills.  Haven't taken any since 300 this morning.
PT...doing all three from time to time.  Thinking range of motion.  I think I'm doing fine until I look to see just where that leg is.  It's a long way from where it should be.  But improving. 
Stairs...becoming easier all the time.  Bad leg down first when decending...Good leg up first when assending.  Makes sense. 
Walker not using that much at all.  It's great for when loosing one's balence but that's improving by the hr.
Then it's back to the cane.d

Trips out...yesterday I spent a few minutes at Sec. Presb. attending an Umoja reception.  Saw LOTS of good friends and knew that when I left after 20 minutes...IT WAS TIME to go.  But the coming and going part as well as the friends part was just fine.  Used a cane for that trip as well as the elevator!!! 

Weather...we broke the all time record of snow fall for one winter yesterday.  Today...Ice and rain seem to be coming our way this afternoon.  We'll see.  Feb. 17th is a long way from the end of winter at this point. 

Doug...still going to heart rehab but said that when he's finished he'll move on the the Y.  Yahoo.  Might have someone to drive me there.  Early afternoon is full of old folks just moving along at their best rate. 

Cooking...Doug does know how to use the microwave and two friends have brought more soup.  I'm full but know that surgery tends to take away one's appetite. 

Church Friends and surgery.  Kathy Miller is now considered Cancer Free.  But time will really see how long that wil last.  But...so far...so good.  Liver has been cleared of spots and part of her pancres has been removed. It's unusual for a patient to get as far as Kathy Miller has in treatment.  Kathy Oehler is now considered Cancer Free with the hope that no more breast cancer spots will devvelop and be found.  Marilyn Strawbridge has started on her trial treatment for cancer.  Have not a clue how this will turn out and Marilyn Rhamsey's cancer is now traveled to her brain.  Life sucks in some cases. 

So after that paragraph...a little knee surgery doesn't seem so bad and it really isn't.
