What are the best kind of houseguests to have? The kind who strip the bed and put on clean sheets, then dump the sheets and dirty towels all into the washer. Wow. I was quite excited to come home and find that already done. Thanks Joe and Jayne! It was good to see y'all.
We enjoyed a great birthday celebration for mine brither last night at my folks. My Mom has been getting full tenderloins at BJ's lately. You could all but cut them with a knife. My Dad makes killer cheese cakes and Rick always gets a chocolate chip one for his birthday. It was yummylicious. I thought I managed a great birthday present and somehow I screwed it up. I'll make it right, I promise!
Today was my first full day back at work. By Noon Renee and I were on our way for our mile++ walk. By 1:00 I was tired of having my slacks rubbing over my scars. By 2:00 I needed a nap. By 3:00 I finally got my first knee stretches of the day in and I was more than ready to be home. It's going to be a very long week with very early bed times I think.
This morning I opted for the spin bike and the ice packs. It seemed to work pretty good because my knees stayed fairly limbered up until my walk at Noon. They swelled a bit during the walk and were tougher to bend. I wish there were a good way to ice them at work.
Brent was home and ready to help me through my afternoon exercises. Very helpful indeed. Although, I must admit that I have not been very diligent lately about the strength exercises. Lunges, wall squats, tip toes on one leg at a time, and side steps. Oh yeah, then there's the three diffeent kinds of leg liftgs with weights. But who's keeping track? Maybe I should do those at work. Things that make you say hmmmmm.
It's 7:51 pm, my knees ache and I'm sooooo sleepy. I'm thinking a few pain meds are in order. I'm afraid to go to bed this early though. Since I'm awake every few hours as it is it could be a very long night. But, my bed is calling to me and tomorrow is another day.
