Aunt Shirley

Hi All! Hope everyone is well...and thanks Joey for putting this together.
I thought for my first post I would get you up to date on my knees.
It was 5 weeks yesterday that I had my partial knee replacements.
I have been going to Physical Therapy for 3 x a week.
It has been hard work - they think you are physically fit when you first arrive!
One of the fun things they do is massage the incision to tear the scar tissue
away from the rest of your body -- I must be a wimp but this is the most
excruciating thing I've endured. I will have to endure 4 more weeks of this
fun as my range of motion is fine, but I have very little strenght in my legs.
I am really doing fine otherwise and will be attempting to go back to work next week.

Dick is still going to cardiac rehab 3 x a week and is doing fine. His old high school friend, John Locke, has been here this week so we have been entertained
with his tall tales.

All for now. Will try to post again next week and let you know if I survived
my return to work - ugh!
