Bouchercon

I’ve enjoyed seeing pictures and posts about this year’s Bouchercon Conference. Next year it is in San Diego, which is a short drive for me, so I plan to attend. Look forward to seeing mystery writing and reading friends again.

Knee Surgery Rebound

I’m making progress with my knee surgery rehab. Started Physical therapy. Now it’s the balancing act of managing pain and gaining more range of motion.

Knee Surgery (continued)

I’m living life primarily on the physical level as I recover from knee replacement surgery. Finding the right balance of pain medication, getting some exercise but not too much, and resting often all play into the equation. I have a post-op appointment with the surgeon this week and will find out about physical therapy and next steps.

Knee Surgery (continued)

Successful knee surgery. Now I need to deal with the pain and getting the range of motion back.

Dumb Dad Jokes

I have blogged before about dumb dad jokes. These are the jokes we dads tell our kids and grandkids to make them groan. For two years I have shared these with a select few friends, and I also post them periodically on Facebook.

Knee Surgery

I’ll be going through the third knee surgery in a year next week. It was infected two times and I’ve been using a walker since February. This next surgery will put permanent parts back in my knee. Then after a recovery period, I should be back to walking normally again.

School Is Almost Upon Us

This summer has sped past us. Our grandkids in Iowa will be starting school in three weeks and our grandson here in Lakewood, CA, will be starting second grade on Aug. 31. There have already been the back-to-school advertisements and hints of Halloween. For me, August will be knee surgery month with pre-op and other appointments as well.
