I just finished today’s therapist visit.  I’m doing great.  She completed her evaluation and sent it to the doctor.  My post-surgery follow-up appointment is tomorrow morning.  Compared to how I was doing the day after surgery, I’m doing great and have made a lot of progress.  I am free to walk around at home with no cane or walker, and can almost walk normally for short distances.   I just need to keep up with the exercises and stretching to get full range of motion back and keep using the CircuL8 devices on my lower legs.  I can sleep in bed now, for about half the night (with the CircuL8’s), then need to move the the recliner with the CircuL8 devices on for the rest of the night.

I haven’t retried “Driving Mode” yet since last week when I couldn’t get my right foot up on the pedals, but I will try that again in the morning before the doctor appointment.  That’s one of the questions I have for the doctor–whether I can drive yet or not.  So that’s it for my knee update for today.  Now back to my regularly scheduled playlist.

Well before my surgery I created a playlist on Plex of all of the movies I have been meaning to catch up on, watch for the first time and others I have been meaning to watch again.  I’ve watched several of them since my surgery, but there’s plenty more to go.  Right now it’s the Godfather trilogy, and I was in the middle of The Godfather when my therapist arrived this morning.  It’s awesome, but I’m even more excited to get to Godfather II though.  Stephen King tweeted this recently:

Someone asked me yesterday, “What’s the best movie you’ve ever seen?” After a night to sleep on it (which I didn’t really need), I can confidently answer. GODFATHER II.— Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 12, 2018

The hundreds (sometimes thousands) of replies to many of his posts could keep me entertained for eons.  That one, especially.  If you’re a movie buff, check it out.  You can click on the date in the tweet to go read it.  I’m heading back to my recliner now to finish The Godfather.  More tomorrow.
