Rest and Recovery

My knee surgery was last Thursday and went very well. My Dr. told me to get a stationary bike and ride it instead of going to physical therapy. My bike was delivered on Thursday while I was in surgery, my husband put it together on Friday morning and I started pedaling. Friday I only managed a total of ten minutes, but I'm now up to 45 min total for the day and my knee is feeling pretty good. Now I just have to keep it up. I go in for my post-op appointment on Wednesday to get the surgical dressing and stitches removed. I'm ready to get back to walking and my normal life.

The Weekly Leaf
This week I took close up pictures of several of my pressed and dried leaves and then picked one to print on Jacquards fabric for Ink Jet Printers. This is the leaf I used.

The original picture.
Cropped and printed on the fabric.

  5. So glad that your surgery went well! How interesting that your dr suggested the bike instead of PT! Sooo much easier and cheaper.
