Had to get the full pat down at TSA thanks to #NewKnee but no sign of ICE anywhere at least. Took about 40 mins to get through security.
Off to visit my mom for my last little bit of #newknee recuperation time before I go back to work. Not my fault that means a trip to Hawaii. 🌴🥥🌺
View from the back of a bunch of people largely dressed in hot pink and black holding song sheets. A large crowd has gathered to watch. It's taken from the steps of the monument at the Columbus Circle entrance of Central Park. Concessions and tall buildings in the background.
A tiny part of the huge crowd that marched today. People carrying flags and banners.
A selfie of a friend and me. She is wearing a hot pink furry hat and shades. I am wearing a leopard print furry hat and shades.
I had fun today with Sing Out Louise at the #NYC #NoKings march. We did a few sets at Columbus Circle and then quite a few on the way. 2.5hrs to get from W57th to W42nd. My #newknee had had enough at that point so I baled. The crowd filled two avenues.
Here's the […]

#NewKnee
15 minute walk with Abby, 5 minutes pedaling the Peloton (forward!) and new little purple flowers in the backyard ♥️😎♥️🐾♥️🚴♀️♥️
Happy Saturday!!!
At my Physical Therapy appointment today I got the bike pedal all the way around (well, backwards)! Yay for returning range of motion!!! ♥️🚴♀️♥️
#NewKnee
Then when I got home, Abby &I went for a little 20 minute walk around the neighborhood 😎♥️🐾
My knee replacement surgery was one month ago today, so Abby & I walked just a bit farther ♥️🐾♥️😎♥️

A small lemon meringue pie on a cardboard square plate. Looks tasty if you like that sort of thing.
Today's treat. Bent to 127⁰ at PT! #NewKnee
A 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of Manhattan skyline with parts of Brooklyn and Queens in the background. There is a lot of blue water and white, hazy sky.
I've been working on this puzzle since shortly after my #NewKnee surgery. I do it while practicing bending my leg. It was one of the most difficult puzzles I've done, resorting to grouping the pieces by shape and then trial and error for the sea and the sky. Even […]

Seeing as it's sunny and marginally above freezing, I took #Eloise the ten blocks to the dog park and back. She was very good about staying on the side of the trees so I didn't have to walk on the frozen snow. The hardest bit was the mountaineering I had to do to pick up the poop. My #newknee […]
#newknee update One of my new exercises is standing on one leg for 30 secs and I can do that better than I could before the surgery My ankle was always fighting with my knee before and I was very wobbly but now I can just do it!
The PT pushed it to 108⁰ today which is apparently good. I was […]
There was nobody home except #Eloise and me and she needed to go out so I took her. It was a bit terrifying on the very slushy bits but I had treats with me and she knows 'Wait for me' and she was a very good dog so we made it! #NewKnee
#NewKnee update. Dressing removed. Wound looking good. She even said it looks like 4-5 weeks post-op.and I'm only 3. It's such a relief to get it off. It was starting to give me the ick. And now it feels less tight too.
First PT today and I made 100⁰ flexion which was my goal for next Monday and 0⁰ extension which is better than before the surgery. Also I made it there by subway, stairs and all. Yes it swelled up after the session but once it was iced I was all good again. #NewKnee
Hmm - looking at expected snow totals for NYC this weekend. Getting to the hospital for my #newknee follow up appointment on Monday morning will be fun. I wonder can I teach #Eloise to pull a sled.

I am OUT! A local tapas place, we got the bus the 5 blocks. So not much walking. But I am without my ice machine. Sona test run of sorts. Got good food and good company and so far so good! @FoxeinSocks
#NewKnee 10 day update: The swelling has gone down a lot and I'm getting around much better and it's easier to get comfortable in bed. I don't need to keep it straight all the time anymore. Bruising has mostly faded to yellow. I still have the bandage on so no idea what the wound looks like. The […]
#NewKnee Day 5 My entire leg is a giant bruise, like I'm wearing a purple bruise colored thigh high stocking but swelling does seem to have gone down a good bit. In the apartment I keep walking off without the cane. I saw myself walk in a mirror and I must try to even my weight distribution […]
I made it - and back! They only had knee-high ones though and the other pharmacy 2 blocks away felt very far. I can get someone to pick some up. Baby steps. #NewKnee
I may try to walk to the pharmacy at the end of the block to buy compression stockings today. #Ambitions #NewKnee
In other #NewKnee news my leg is still quite swollen but a lot less than it was yesterday. It feels a lot less tight and I can take some steps without depending on the cane, although I'm going nowhere without it. The ice machine is my friend.

Mobile ice therapy! #NewKnee
