Okay so I overdid it on Friday. I spent 20 minutes on the exercise bike then walked for 1.44 miles. I regret that now. Knees were really swollen on Saturday morning. Amy and I had to swap out driving so I could straighten out my legs, but we made the 12 hour trip in 13 hours. Stopped to rest several times and to eat. Made it home by 9:00 and my swollen knees were really hurting. I got some ice on them as soon as we got home. Slept pretty good though I still had trouble finding a position that supported my knees comfortably.
Today, Sunday, I went to church. This was the first time since the surgery. Managed to even make it up the stairs to sit in the balcony, my regular place. By the time I got home I thought about working in the garden. but that would mean I would need to change clothes, and take a bath before returning to church later. I decided to hold off getting to the garden. We finished the audio book we had listened to on our trip to and from Virginia. Gone Girl turned out to be a good book (all 19 hours of the unabridged version). After church tonight I could feel my swollen knees and applied ice as soon as I got home. Tomorrow will be a busy day. More about it later.
