Still here!!!!!

Well the kids have been gone home for a few days and life around here is slowly getting back to normal.....I have been able to play pool several times here in the park and also over at Magnolia a couple of times a week at night....I have been kind of disappointed that we don't have much if any pool action here at Siesta at night....I am use to playing in the evening from Magnolia and just can't get use to not playing every night for a couple of hours......Oh well I guess we can't always have every thing we want all the time, but I just can't figure out why not.....HA HA

Well I know that this cool weather isn't the best thing for my new knees as they are sure stiff unless I keep them moving.....I guess that's the secret to the whole process but I am not use to that any more....I am kind of proud of myself as when I take Marilyn to Wal-Mart I don't use the electric carts and do all the walking around the store without any cane or walker.....I do push one of the shopping carts as I do pick up some stuff once in a while so I'm doing very well....It's only been less than 4 months since the first knee surgery and 7 weeks since the last one....Things are getting better all the time and they told me it would take quite some time before things would seem to be normal for me....I am just looking forward to seeing all the old friends coming back from up NORTH and spending some time talking to all them about just what they have been doing....Most of them already know just what I have been doing and most of that is quite boring...HA HA....Till next time....

Late again

I know I said that I would post more often but I have been trying to catch up on some things that I haven't been able to do because of the surgeries.....Also we have had company for a while and we have been trying to entertain them...(our youngest son and his girlfriend)...They came to help drive Marilyn around while I was layed up with the last surgery......They have been a big help around the house...This last week I got to play pool several times  here in the park and even over at Magnolia a coupe of times...It was sure nice to get around a table again, but I sure need lots of practice to come close to being able to compete again.....Oh well now I will have time to do lots of things and my knees won't hurt at least....They are still stiff and I have to limber them up quite often, but they say in time that will change....Well at least I have written something so you know that I am OK, just lazy about writing....Next time......
