A long and busy day. PT went well and Alec the therapist is pleased with my progress. I do work myself pretty hard in the morning because that is when the knee is so stiff it is like walking on a wooden leg. I can now do 10 laps of the hall without resting. I do 40 step ups. I am not doing so well on the stretch band. I have a couple of new exercises to do now. I did one on the steps after supper and it felt pretty good. The other one is done lying down. I will have to use a strap to pull the leg back. I thought I was walking quite well but he evaluated my style and said I was moving with a hitch step. Therefore, I am not ready for a cane so remain married to the walker.
Before going to the rehab center Gloria and I put a basket of my stuff in machine and then into dryer. We sat outside for a long time and it was wonderful to be part of the sky. The pigeons were flying low over the roof and swooping down in joyful flight. Then Gloria washed a basket of clothes and soon Randy was working on his basket of dirty things. It was a clean up day.
Gloria brought me a piece of pizza for lunch and Randy brought me a container of wonderful cheesy broccoli soup with spice and bite. It was delicious. Such good and generous neighbors.
I worked the hall for awhile and did the stair stretch again.

Cedar with Kalene's dog, Oliver.

Then Leah called to say Cedar and she were coming over to pick up photos for Michael. Mr C was so excited to see Cedar that he was mad with joy. Running and jumping and twirling like a dancing dog.
Leah took a tour of my small abode and declared it to be enchanted.
