I have decided to add a blog to this site. While i often have lots to say, I haven't written a lot. 

I will start now.

Since I have been in the house for 4 weeks. I decided this is a good time to start.

So welcome to anyone who is interested in reading my blog!

My first time with out patient rehab

February 25, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

So i went today for my first out patient rehab. i did like the therapist. she was pleased with my stairclimbing. i still need to work on extension and flexion. i am still having pain in both knees, though the right is worse. i have to get more serious about exercising, bending and flexing my knees. the pain is less than it was so it is a bit easier for me to do the bending. i am still taking pain med and have started taking tylenol which does seem to help a bit. 

i am anxious to get out and start shooting again. i have gone thru some older photos, but haven't been on my pc computer yet. i am still using the laptop in the kitchen. 

i will see the doctor on thursday, hoping he removes the *tails* part of the sutures from the incision. i think this will also help it to be more comfortable. my legs/feet were so swollen today i couldn't even get my shoes on. 

the blue door photo is from kings park. this is one of the photos i had on display at the manhasset library. 

ok, looking ahead!

2 outings in 2 days..

February 24, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

after 2 outings for the past 2 days, i am looking forward to resting and taking it easy today. i start out patient rehab tomorrow. i hope i don't start screaming when the therapist stretches my legs....later in the week i will see the doctor. i am hoping he is pleased with my progress and will discontinue the blood thinner i am taking.

still going thru some old photos, preparing the for the website i am working with to sell the images. i am hoping it will do as well as it did last month...my first month with this site.


 

this is one of the older images i found.. this photo was taken when i went on a 12 hour road trip with 3 friends. we hit 3 states, new hampshire, maine and massachusetts. this was in rockport at sunset. it was an awesome day!

4 weeks with my new knees!

February 24, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

 

So it has been 4 weeks since i had a bilateral knee replacement. i am still having pain, but walking and doing the stairs daily. i had several outings the past 2 days, and will spend tomorrow, sunday, recovering.

one of the outings was a long island photography meetup on HDR photography. then came home and rested and went to a reception for an exhibit at the manhasset library with 4 of my photos on display. i had the blue door, the spiral staircase, 3 pots on a ledge and the paw paw tunnel. i think they presented well.

my sister has been with me since i came home from rehab. i could not have done this without her. she has been preparing meals, laundry and helping with everything. i am so grateful for her help and will definitely miss her when she finally goes back home.

 

 

 

 

well this is officially my first posting on my blog. i will try to post often.
