Day 22 and my last entry for home recovery. Dr. Howe cleared me to drive and to go back to work tomorrow. Of course I drove home from the doctors. I need to get the physical therapist to come by, hopefully first thing in the morning, to close out my case. Once he comes I will go on in to work. They took x-rays to see how the knee looks and he showed them to me so I could see my new knee.
I am free to go back to the Y. There is a rehab center in my Y he gave me a referral to. He wants to start out working with them then he said I could move on to my own workout whenever I am ready.
I did not ask about yard work. I will not attempt that for at least another couple of weeks. Yesterday afternoon the yard guys were doing our neighbor’s yard across the street. I went over and talked to them about doing mine. They came this afternoon and blew the leaves off the natural areas and yard and mowed for me. That will get me by until I can do it myself in a couple of weeks.
