The times they are a changing...

It has been quite a while since I posted anything to this blog...mostly because things with my knee were not going well at all.  In the last month or so I started taking Aleve in the evening and that really helped.  Yesterday was the first day since my surgery on July 27, 2010 that I have been able to walk normally - go through a full stride on my bad leg.  THIS makes me very happy.  I do not believe I will ever run again, but I do need to find an alternate so I can get back in shape.  I am not much of a swimmer or bike rider...but I may need to learn to be those things.  I can walk, so I can start there and build up miles and strengthen my whole body.  HotRod will like that a great deal!  He has been a very bored dog for months and months.  Luckily for me he is a good dog and up until recently didn't get into any mischief.  I did end up in the ER last week with swelling in my leg and foot, but everything turned out fine.  No clots!

I hope to have more interesting stuff to talk about going forward - so stay tuned.
