Feeling great today.  I’ve stopped taking the Oxycodone completely.   Tylenol is sufficient.  The pain has lessened and I took another shower this morning.  I’m up to “marching” with the walker now, and primarily using a cane.  I’ve gone out on errands with Sandy a few times, in both cars, and everything is progressing nicely.  I’ll be going out to dinner again this weekend.  I love these “test” outings.

I can’t wait until I can get out and actually walk, even just out to the nearest Pokestop or Portal, which is about 1 block away, so I can start playing games again.  I’m hoping Kevin can spot me when I get to this point.  He doesn’t even bother to make that little walk himself on days he doesn’t work though… sheesh, he doesn’t know how good he’s got it.  I guess advancing his daily spin and catch bonuses just don’t motivate him like they do most other players.  Once I get out there walking myself, I plan to try to increase my distance daily until I’m back up to at least a mile and off the cane, then ramp it up back to two miles a day, minimum.

My follow-up appointment for my knee is Tuesday.  At that time I’ll find out from the doctor if I can drive yet and move my rehab to facility with proper equipment, or wait a little longer with more in-home therapy.  It’s a toss-up at this point, so I have my in-home therapy appointments already scheduled for next week, just in case.
