Today, after the morning session of LDS General Conference, Nina took her first walk outside after the knee surgery.
This wasn’t her first time outside … she’s been back to see the surgeon for a checkup and we went out to dinner last night. But, neither of those involved doing much walking. This walk was different. Out the front door, down the sidewalk to the corner, turn left, go to the next corner, and walk back. This picture was taken at the turning-around point. By the time we were back home, both tennis balls in the walker were worn through (have to go buy a couple more, they’re about $1 apiece).
Today is warm … and quite windy. We’ve had little snow and plentiful wind this winter.The grass up here is just starting to grow. Buds on the trees are starting to show. Spring is definitely here.
We had a lovely walk. Now she’s in her chair with ice on her knee. It’s a great day!
Ta ta for now!
Yeah! Sending all of our good wishes your way. Hoping Nina is back up on her feet in record time.
She’s doing well! Knees are the hardest rehab of any other joint replacement surgery (and that’s according to the AMA). About three more weeks and she won’t hurt a bit, (and that’s from experience). My best to the Semi-Bionic Woman!
