Today I finished the halfway point of therapy. Rang of Motion was 108*/0* ... by my self. I got to 114*/0* with "help" ... As always, the therapist said, "Let's get 5* more". LOL ... he's not fooling anyone.

I made it to 130. Hang in there.

I got to 125 on the right ... and I'm way ahead of the right with the left.

Had therapy today ... Satan's Evil Spawn came to see how I was doing. She was my therapist for the first one ... LOL ... my mom named her that after sitting in on one of my sessions in the CLC. She got me to 114*/0* on my own and 119*/0* with her "help" ... I could of done 120*/0* with her help ... but ... didn't want her to get the credit ... Thursday I'll be back with Marco and I'll make sure I get to 120*/0* ...

Other than that ... no walker ... no cane ... riding Jessica when it's warm enough.

Got a trip planned to Mesquite on March 17th ... probably take Jessica on the trailer and ride her during the day and gamble some at night ...

I couldn't be any happier with the progress if I had new knees ... wait ... I do .... There is some healing pain, but not a lot. I you've ever seen a video on knee replacements you'll know why. Having a doctor "pound" a spike into the bones isn't non "invasive".

I'm free ... well sorta ... I had my doc visit today and everything looks good. I'm on schedule or maybe a little ahead of the therapists schedule. I have 4 more therapy sessions ... so not totally free.

Good to hear of your knee progress Fuzzy, by any chance have you been over-using that middle finger ?

Fuz I have had Two trigger fingers and Hydrocortizone shots cured both fingers. The first doctor wanted to do surgery. Naw... he said it was necessary! maybe for his bank account no thank you. Good luck Fred

Carla diagnosed the same issue ... I can assure you that ain't it. LOL ... The worse part ... I'm supposed to "Apply some hand lotion to my palm. massage the center of my palm then work the massage down that finger to the tip" ... something about that just sounds WRONG.

You most likely have a sore knot behind the joint in the palm of your hand I had the same issue over working an old inflamed joint it sore there and your finger joint sticks at the tip. An injection in the joint fixes it about two weeks. Then they start to tingle Carple tunnel my spelling stinks these days. That is when you must carefully choose a surgeon todo that operation ask for references I have and got a good list of people who had that done. good luck Fred

I'm done with surgery ... Not sure I'd let them do anymore. Twenty three is plenty. But who knows ... I might hate pain a little more than surgery
