The Tunnels

Clark stood in the shadow of a towering concrete and glass building. It was colder in the shade but he was out of the cutting wind.

Coat collar turned up, a grey, checked Burberry scarf was wrapped … Continue reading The Tunnels →

Spring is coming

Under cold, grey skies Delicate, green buds taunt me Eight weeks until spring

The great outdoors calls

Even before my knee surgery, I was pretty much a slug. I had stopped hiking and photogging, It hurt too much to walk so much. I felt heavy and spiritless. I hope to change that.

Flexibility in my right knee is nearly the same as my left and continues to improve. I can do pretty … Continue reading Wherein she whines →

Knee surgery advice for the future me

At nearly nine weeks post-op, this morning when I got up my knee felt the most “normal” it has since my knee replacement surgery. Even two-plus months out, there’s still some puffiness (swelling) that docs and the PT guy said could last another 2, 3, 4 months. Some stiffness, especially in the morning and if … Continue reading Knee surgery advice for the future me →
