Keep doing the exercises!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Keep doing the exercises!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doing all I can stand! I will sure be glad when the staples are removed next Tuesday- then I can accelerate the exercise and not worry about popping staples out. 

Do the exercises but don't push yourself like you usually do!

If you go too far overboard you will do some serious damage at this stage of recovery.

And if you do that I will send Oma to help you. 

I've got one of these if ya want those staples out earlier. I can loan it to Oma and have her stop by to do the removal...

Bring on the CLUB!!!!! 

Sammich. 

Dang, I thought I was going to be called to remove the staples!!!! I don't get to do anything fun!!! :-(


Glad you are staple free! Finish the rest of your healing. 

This is going to make you feel so much better!

Praying for you to continue to heal at your usual amazing fast pace:) 

:D 

I figure I will be breaking the sound barrier by Friday.

Drove the car yesterday and today!

Range on the knee bending machine is currently -2 to 118degrees.

Walking the dogs again.

Elliptical and treadmill, along with upper body weights, TOMORROW. Bike when I can bend the knee that much.

This stuff is fun! 

So how much longer will you be using the 'leg bending machine'? 

AM, and all this time I thought you were an old buzzard. heck, you are just working out like a spring chic...or should I say spring rooster. lol

take care of yourself! so glad you are walking the dogs again. 

So how much longer will you be using the 'leg bending machine'?

4 more days on the scrip- I plan to use for an extra week after that.

take care of yourself! so glad you are walking the dogs again.


The dogs don't mind a bit- unless they are pulling me and getting yelled at! (:-) 

Don't push for the bike too early. That was the hardest part for my dh after his knee surgery. He could walk and golf, but the bike was the hardest.

You are doing remarkable! 

Gym felt great today!

Not so great after sitting for 30 minutes after getting home!

Hit the scale at 252 pounds today! Lightest weight since the Marathon days. Played college football at 250#, rose to 350 over the years and slid to 252 currently. Better be careful or I might get skinny. (:-) 

Not feeling so blessed today! Over did the club the last two days! Can barely walk!

Better get back to the club and work this out! Might have to pull the walker out of storage! 

Aman - yes to getting back to the club and working it out, but don't over-do the work outs. You are suppose to work back up to your old self, not start off at what you use to do.

I tell my patients to do 5 minutes or less, of each exercise, then build up. You have to re-train you muscles.

When you get home, ice, ice, ice. 

Ice Baby, Ice.
Vanilla Ice! 

Just did the aerobics and upper body weights yesterday. Feel fine this morning!

As for the ice, I am starting to feel like a sno-cone!

Just don't put grape or cherry/strawberry flavor syrups on yourself, those flavors don't wash out well. :-)

I might give the dogs a go at the colors- I'm betting on the dogs!
