43°f at 7am, some red in the sunrise but a breezy, pretty day.
Since Saturday I have been going for short --very short--walks, testing out this new knee. So far, so good, even on our gravel driveway. I use my cane of course, as I am not that brave yet! Today I managed 7/10ths of a mile, all the way to the top of our driveway. Of course, walking might not be the right word, saunter is probably more accurate. But it is lovely to stroll along without pain. While the knee still needs much work re straightening and bending, pain now is mostly limited to exercise and nights. Sleep is better, but still not great.
Of course, I get canine companionship each time I venture out. Not Buddy, poor fellow, because once he gets past the electronic fence, he might not stop running for miles, literally. But Daisy enjoys a nice wander, even at her advanced age (15),
and Little Boy is up for anything.
The weather has been perfect for walking, and the fall colors continue to make me stop often to try to capture the beauty in photos.
