Nice & sunny today in NJ but chilly, hasn't hit 40 yet. Still a little of the white stuff here and there on the ground. Restocked my bird food supply and refilled the feeders. The birds are very pleased.
I haven't made a fuss about it here, although I did post (with photos) on FB -- just over 5 weeks ago I slipped on the stairs in my house and damaged my right knee. After a visit to the ER (x-rays showed no broken bones), visit to the orthopedist, MRI, and follow-up visit to the orthopedist, it was determined that I had sprained my ACL and MCL and had slight tears in the distal quadriceps tendon and the medial meniscus. I've been going to PT 3 times a week for 3 weeks now and my knee is healing nicely. Last Friday the therapist cleared me to drive, which is wonderful! And I only need to wear my knee brace when I'm out and about, not in the house. As I word of warning, what caused me to slip was my shoes -- I had a much-loved but old pair of Skechers and the soles were getting smooth. I put my right foot on the next to the last steo, picked up my left foot to put it on the next step, and my right foot slid off the step. So, if you have an older pair of shoes and the soles are getting worn, THROW THEM OUT!
