Good for you Rizen. My husband had cataract surgery. Now he only uses glasses for reading small print. It changed his life.

Muji, the kid was probably embarrassed. I am glad you were able to walk.

Hope you don't have to pace indoors, Rizen, and can get outside. I got outside for 2 walks again today.

Hope he was embarrassed, Secouya, as you say. I certainly didn't try to shame him, I just went on another route to stay safe.

86 days from today and I can move!

Ouch, today my 2 walks really hurt. Dunno why, but my muscles were sore all over. I think it has to do with chronic kidney disease and the neuropathy from it. But the 2 walks got done, and I had a good weigh in, Rizen. How about you? Did you get out? We had another big snow, so I had to wait to walk until afternoon.

Brrrr. Is it ever COLD still! I did two walks again, both in daytime, so I'm glad I could fit them in during the warmest time of the day, but as to warmth it's not saying much. Are you pacing indoors, Rizen? Is it cold where you live, too?

It's been bitter cold so I paced indoors the past 3 days.

Since you weren't posting here, Rizen, I imagined you must have been having to do the indoor pacing. Me, I did 2 walks great but on the 2nd one I slipped on the ice and twisted my knee badly. I'd been off the cane proudly for 2 years but now I'm back on it just to get around the house. Boo!

I wish you could post pictures of the snow. I’ve only experienced it several times. I know it’s cold, but I think it’s so pretty. My husband is from Ohio. He always tells my when I say I’m cold that I don’t even know what cold is,

I’m happy Rizen that you were able to get exercise despite the cold and you too Muji!. I did go out for a small walk today and went to renew my OSHA requirement to operate an EMG van for the Sheriff’s.

Keep counting down those days Muji. Your retirement will be here soon, less than 3 months now.

Glad you could take a little walk, Secouya. Hope you got that OSHA renewal all squared away for the sheriff's van. Does taking a little walk mean your post-op knee is healing a little more now? I know it's been frustrating how long it's taken to get working again for you.

I got out and took 2 very careful walks again today in the snow on a cane. To me snow's always pretty the day it falls, but then living with it after that gets dangerous and complicated. It melts a little during the day time, and then the water melts at night to make hazardous black ice you can't see when driving or walking. It can get ridiculous.

Once I had a sheet of black ice under my car exactly the size and shape of my car's undercarriage. You couldn't see it, and it was a sunny day. When I started up my car and put it in gear, though, it turned out all 4 tires were just barely sitting on slick ice such that all 4 wheels just spun in place. I couldn't move my car, and I missed a doctor's appointment.

Holy cow, it hurt to walk today. I used my cane and got two walks in again, despite the cold drizzling winter rain. Brrr. But it was another day of victory, my weight was kept down, my body kept moving despite this pandemic lock down. Yeah!

I’m trying to walk a little now on nice days to loosen up. I definitely under Stan the hurt Muji. I am healing. My therapist has been working with me for a year trying to strengthen the atrophy in my bad leg that supports my knee resulting from multiple failed surgeries..This surgery has been hard, but I keep reminding myself that doctors told me I would never walk again without a brace and as difficult as it has been, here I am still with no brace.

My OSHA test went well. I was surprised when I was told how much the team has missed me over the last year. It felt good to know they cared.

I am trying to lose some weight I gained.. Its easy to gain, but sure hard to lose.

I hope Rizen is ok. I know he is helping his mom.

Hope Rizen's ok, too, especially with what happened to his mom.

Recovering from atrophy is harder than recovering from surgery, they say. Good for you for how you're recovering from both the way you are. That takes double dedication.

Congrats on the OSHA test success, and I'm glad it came with a bonus in finding out you were missed.

Me, I walked twice today going back to doing it WITHOUT a cane for the first time since falling on the ice. I walked gingerly and I was wobbly, but I was cane-less, too, which makes me proud.

Muji, that’s great! You should be proud. I hope your feeling better after that fall and bike incident.

Thanks, Secouya. I couldn't log on yesterday. We got 8 inches of snow last night, but by afternoon I got 1 walk in the snow in. Then in the evening I decided out doors was risky, so I used my local supermarket as an indoor track and had a good walk there, too. Ha!

Hi. I'm okay; I've just been really busy. I walked 2.1 miles two days and paced around the other 2. I met someone on a dating site and we've been texting.

Good to hear, Rizen. Glad you've met someone on a dating site. I remember you've really wanted to since last year, at least. Hope it works out for you.

Me, I got 2 walks in today despite the snow, but I still have to use a cane since that kid hit me with his bike last week. It's not just the pain, it's that the leg he hit buckles if I put all of my weight on it. Glad I can walk anyway.
