I worked in between some outings with my girlfriend Chris. She continues to make good progress in her surgery recovery. However that also means that her level of discomfort doesn’t necessarily get better. See, you are able to do more things, stretch more, walk more and you are still recovering so there is discomfort from … Read more
I felt pretty good today. My girlfriend Chris had a really good physical therapy appointment today. I remember her talking about how in her recovery from her first knee replacement (other knee, several years ago), it was a major milestone when she could ride the stationary bicycle and go around one revolution. She almost achieved … Read more
I took my girlfriend Chris to a smaller mall (i.e. not the Mall of America) so she could take a longer walk than in the house. The streets around her house are hilly and so a bad choice for now. This was inspired because she was feeling restless yesterday. Today she felt more sore and … Read more

My girlfriend Chris had a really good clinical physical therapy session today. I understand she was working in their gym area doing different exercises including stretching on the stationary bicycle and doing leg pushes. The bicycle is important because at the beginning, it is painful or the muscles around the new knee joint to stretch … Read more
Today my girlfriend Chris got her surgical staples removed. She had 33 of them and had set up an appointment with her doctor today to remove them. Removing them went well, I understand. I opted to wait in the waiting room. She let better after though with the numbness she hadn’t really been aware of … Read more
My girlfriend Chris had her second Physical Therapy appointment today and I understand it went well. Next time she will “get” to use some of the gym equipment they have. Her home exercises are also getting easier. I heard from one of my daughters, Catherine, that she wants and has opportunity to visit Minnesota over … Read more
