That's so really beautiful. I'll bet your grandchildren know how blessed they are to have you.
I wish I lived closer. All my sons live in Michigan. I sold my house in Michigan almost 2 years ago. After my accident I wasn't getting up there much. But in my situation plus the cold winters. I don't think I would fair that well up there. I used to be what they call you in Florida a snow bird. I really enjoy summertime and the fall in Michigan. Plus I still have my boat for salmon fishing on lake Michigan. I could never sell that.LOL My son's use the boat and it's there when I go up to visit.

After I lived in Florida a while, they didn't call me a snow bird. I really enjoyed the people and animals. I started wishing the snow birds would migrate north like everyone else. Spring and summer is the best in South Florida.

Good mornooning everyone.

It’s my turn for physio today. I have to head back to A&E at the hospital this morning so their physio can review my progress. The back of my calf is bruised like someone kicked me - I was warned this would happen. It will be interesting to see what the verdict is.
Hope that went OK and that it turned out to be something that will heal itself without surgery.

My physio went well. I have two more exercises to add to the list. The physio has confirmed the Baker’s Cyst in the back of my knee and the rupture of it that has caused the pain, swelling and bruising in my calf.

I am off crutches and using a stick if necessary. She reckons that it will take 6 weeks for the swelling and bruising to clear and probably 3 months for me to be back to normal.

It seems very slow, but I am fairly upbeat about it. I need to work at the exercises, I am allowed back swimming if I avoid breast stroke as the leg movement is too much strain on my knee, and hopefully I will see steady improvement :)

I am so much better than I was this time last week. :)
Good news!
Make sure you take it as easy as possible while you are healing.
I still don't know what a Baker's Cyst is - I'll google it.

Good afternooning. Ecologist daughter and her flatmate have a new friend to share the flat.

Meet Basil the Brown Long Eared Bat. Basil got caught up in netting and injured and is now recovering in their care until he is ready to be released again. You need to be licensed to handle bats in this country... Daughter’s flat mate is the one with the qualification.
