Loong, that's a really long walk, no wonder you're tired. Be sure you get enough rest and heal.

Dear Terri ,today again walked for about 1 1/2 hour.
Dont scold me.

I won't scold you. If you feel up to it then it is great. I just wish I could keep up with you.

Hi everyone. Tonight I rode my recumbent bike for 30 minutes. Kept a steady pace riding at about 13-14 mph. Nice workout.

Then I did my knee physical therapy exercises; 2 sets of 15 reps. I have the exercises from the last time I had knee surgery. My knees have been killing me so I thought I would try this.

I did shoulder shrugs, shoulder blade squeezes, neck releases, and wrists and ankle exercises.

I got out my OPTP foam roller, but I quickly discovered it was not safe with my arm in a sling. I should have known better. Luckily I didn't get hurt.

OPTP Pro Foam Roller-A Review

Two more days until the sling comes off. My arm is so weak it trembles when I take a shower. Looking forward to having strong arms and shoulders again.

Hi everyone. Today I did one-armed gardening for about 90 minutes. That's my workout.

Didn't realize at the time how hard it was on my knees. Tonight I almost lost it on the downstairs steps when my knees buckled under me.

I am now going to sit with a bag of frozen peas on each knee, relax, and read.

Tomorrow---last day wearing the sling.

Hi everyone. I'm still typing with one finger. Took brace off today but not allowed to reach forward or to the side. No problem, it hurts to do that.

Tonight I had a good ride on the recumbent bike. I rode for about 15 min at a smooth brisk pace. Then I increased the incline, slightly, and rode a little faster. I did this for 12 min. I did a slow down for the last 3 min.

Today at PT I went up to a 3 lb. dumbbell. They also added a 4-sided exercise using a yellow band. Yellow is the very easiest. Then I used the arm bike for 4 min. Yeah!

Had to sit and ice knees tonight. They are so sore from the gardening.

Hi everyone. Last night I rode my bike for 30 minutes. Nice brisk pace--made me sweat.

Today I had PT and it is starting to feel more like exercise. Every time I go we add a new exercise. That's okay though because it means I'm getting stronger. Hopefully I'll be done wit PT by September.
