Beautiful flowers to wake up to this morning! The doorbell started ringing yesterday afternoon...
First a beautiful rose bouquet from they Palatine Baseball Association...thanks guys for thinking of me. Ken was pleasantly surprised - of course he devotes a lot of time to volunteering and we have spent 20 years in baseball in Palatine since Kenny was 4 yrs. old.
Next Pesches was at the door with a gorgeous basket from Tom, Joy, & Sandy! It has a deep blue African violet, a minature rose, a begonia, a diffenbachia, and the orange one I think is a Kalanchoa. Very pretty basket - thanks so much!
And finally another beautiful bouquet with a get well balloon from Mac & LuLu. Very pretty mixture of pink carnations, roses, yellow daisies, and more. Thank you - so pretty!

This morning I had my first "real" therapy appointment and I realized why Dr. Finn calls them the "physical terrorists!" Whew - very intense. She had a goal of getting my knee to 90 degrees flexion and I was able to bend it to 103 degrees! Bending is very painful as it feels like the stitches are going to burst open any minute. She says that is the scar tissue breaking up - I hope so!!! I also walked with the cane and she felt I was steady enough to do it at home, but not outside. So, all in all, a successful morning of therapy. Will look forward to a nap and then some of Sue's chicken tetrazzini for dinner.
