Midweek Ramble

 A beautiful day today, and we should be having a couple more. Then a bit of a change with lower temperatures and perhaps some snow. 

This week has been one of getting things done around the house, and working on my various projects. I also found something out. My old laptop is of no earthly use in the sewing/craft room. It is just too slow even with the WIFI booster. So I will be using the new one for various crafts that I need a computer for. Not a bad thing, but it means unplugging and plugging in again at my desk when anything is completed. I am almost tempted to purchase a cheap monitor and use the old mini computer until it is no longer useable in there. That could be a bit more of crawling around on the floor to get power packs plugged in than I really care to do. 

This I can say with complete honesty, I need to actually use my Cricut more often as it seems to be that when I don't there is a whole new learning curve. So one month perhaps a project will be making some cards for birthday's, Thank you, Christmas and a few other paper crafts. I should try my hand at doing some embossing with it as well.

I am actually quite happy with how my projects are going this month. I finished the flimsy, have almost finished the ornaments, finished the totes, wove the rug, and am working hard on getting the pieces done to finally finish the rug. All I have left is knitting the next sized mittens, starting to weave the scarves (gift for Kurt and Kris for Christmas) and sewing the rug together. Hope to get a few more of these done before the end of the month. There should be pictures on Saturday to share what I have managed to get done.

Changed a few more email addresses and I plan on doing something about setting up something using Harvey's name for our trip in August. 

Still need to let our travel agent know we need to communicate through a different email address as well. I will probably do so next week.

Enjoying the fact that the weather is changing, and I am completing more things around the house as far as decluttering and organizing goes. I have even managed to clear some items out from under my bed, socks and dishcloths for right now. I hope to put together a few more items for the silent auction from that container as well. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Tuesday Tidbits And Stuff

 

The house is quiet once again, perhaps too quiet right now. Work, other than slowly hand stitching the quilt went by the wayside this weekend. 

My back was much better, just a twinge now and again. With Kris's help Thanksgiving dinner went well. He helped by putting the turkey in the oven and taking it out. Saved my back for sure.

Kurt was outside helping Harvey cut branches off the trees. Those now need to be cut down, the bigger portions saved for the firepit, and the smaller ones hauled to the dump next weekend. He then raked the leaves and smaller sticks up for easier disposal. 

Eiko, our grandcat is getting more and more used to us being around. She is still a bit skittish, but at least does not attack us, claws out when we walk by. 

I spent some time yesterday cutting scrap fabric into strips, 4" squares and 6" squares. One more project finished this month. Sure glad that I only have a few small ones left to do. The 6" squares are being edged and then I will be using them as tinkle cloths... Should have enough now to last more than a week. I got the first 20 or so done this afternoon. 

There are tomatoes left to either process or eat. I do think there are too many to eat, but shall give that a try. I have made 6 containers of tomato sauce, 6 jars of salsa and have numerous bags in the freezer of frozen tomatoes to use in chilies and stews over the winter. 

The days are drawing in and soon we will be turning on the heat. Not something I am looking forward to, but Harvey is complaining that it is pretty cold in here mornings. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can manage to keep it off until at least the end of this week. The house does warm up considerably during the day. 

Stocking up for the winter will be continuing. Mostly canned items and cold/flu type items are left. Plus a few of the gifts still need to be purchased as well. 

My laptop has been acting up and Kris said it is reaching the end of it's life span. We will be traveling some time soon up to visit with him and he can take me shopping for a new one and then gets the joy of transferring from this one to the new one. He also wants to set me up with the "cloud". Scary proposition as then I would need to learn something else. I do have an external hard drive, so perhaps I can talk him into using that instead. This laptop will be used in my sewing/craft room with my embroidery machine and my Cricut. Should work perfectly fine for those things. 

Tomorrow I will post some pictures of our visit to our (my sister went with me) aunts. One is 92 and the other is 97. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Tuesday Tidbits

 

We took the vehicle into to get an oil change, and get an estimate on what it would cost to fix our plug in. The plug in is going to be pretty darn costly, but since winter is slowly loosening its grasp here on the prairies we can wait awhile to get that done. It also gives me a bit of time to save for that as well as new tires for Harvey's truck and the replacement of a sensor on the same truck. Could be an expensive year for vehicles this year. We could easily pay for those, but I kind of like making a game of the whole thing.

We are supposed to get more snow starting tonight and into tomorrow. Then we have a warmer number of days to look forward to. I am hoping that winter's icy grip is loosening. So looking forward to planting and starting seeds. 

I changed the menu for tonight to one we were going to have later this month. We picked up the vehicle so late that the time to make a casserole was really cut down. We will still have the casserole on Thursday, and I will freeze half to have later on the day we were going to have this meal.

So, what have I been doing all day? I walked to my friends for coffee, stopped in and talked to another friend for a bit on the way home, knit, did the household tasks, and planned what extra things I will do tomorrow. My life has no big swings from highs to lows and that is how I like it. Life is not always exciting and that is what makes those times of travel, meeting with friends and the company of loved ones just so special.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

 

Tuesday Tidbits

 

I woke up this morning to lots of wind, it did die down, but the temperature did not rise very much at all.

I worked around the house most of the morning and then traveled about a block to visit my friend for coffee. This will probably be the last time I go for pretty much the rest of the week. I checked our weather and was shocked to see this.

ALERTS IN EFFECT

Extreme Cold Warning

Issued at 15:39 Tuesday 21 February 2023

Extreme wind chill values in the -40 to -45 range are expected tonight for most of southern Saskatchewan as a bitterly cold Arctic airmass settles over the region.

Temperatures are expected to return to near seasonal values this weekend.

###

Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.

Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.

Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes.

Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to SKstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #SKStorm.

Not at all conducive to wanting to be outside, and while the temperatures could rise the remaining days of the week, I still do not want to be out and about. 

I have lots that I can do around the house, so staying home is no problem. I have things to sew, projects to work on, and baking that I can do.

Harvey has started to make a couple of bird feeders for outside. He checked on line for the costs of buying them and found that he could make a few with the scraps of lumber he has downstairs for half the cost. This, even after purchasing some plexiglass and small hinges. It also gives him something to do during these last few weeks of a Canadian winter. 

I hope all of you who have pancakes today enjoy them, we will be finishing off the pork stir fry....  I forgot all about Ash Wednesday so of course I needed to make a menu change. I think Perogies tomorrow and then the homemade pizza, pancakes on Friday and Saturday we will finish off the homemade pizza. Just needed to change things around a little bit. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Saturday Roundup

 

Not really much to report on. Winter just seems to be a rinse and repeat time for me. 

This year the days are very nice, but I don't go out much as I am a bit afraid of falling, even with my cleats on. After breaking the same wrist twice, one becomes a bit more hesitant when out on ice. I have managed a few around the block strolls which at least gets me some fresh air.

I really wonder what next month will bring. With the beautiful weather we have been enjoying, I think I might be a bit worried that February could be a bit of a strange one. 

I have been doing some house cleaning, taking it slow and small bites at a time. While my energy is slowly returning I am making sure to rest in between tasks. Still have lots to do, way more decluttering is necessary that's for sure. Or perhaps I should say I need to step up the using items up part of my crafting journey 😉.

Starting to look through my flower and plant books to get ideas for the summer. I may ask my gardening friends if they have any seeds or slips to share come the summer. Going to be on a whatever I can get free for the perennial bed and for greenery for my pots and containers. I do love summer and all the lovely colour. Even planning projects to work on that put me outside on the deck or by the firepit. 

My oven is still working (fist pump here along with a big YES), however with the appliance cooking I am hoping to extend the life of the element and Harvey's fix. 

Days arrive and days leave with great regularity, nothing exciting, nothing too taxing (other than when I was sick). Life just goes on.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Thursday Tidbits

 

It has been pretty cool and dismal here the last couple of days. Kind of put me off of doing much of anything. I am also having trouble sleeping which probably isn't helping much.

This week has been one of not cooking very much, just warming things up from precooked meals. Makes being able to work on various projects much easier. Mind you those do not seem to be moving forward to completion as quickly as I had hoped. Still every row knit, every cushion cut out and every bit of stuffing done is getting better.

I am hoping that Kris makes it home this weekend and brings the grandcat for a visit. Eiko always brings a smile to my face even if she decides after a bit that she really does not like me much and gives me a swipe and hiss when I walk by. I should say having Kris home also brings a smile to my face.Since it has been so cold and snow is once again being forecast Kris may not make it home. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I believe another reason I am a bit down in the dumps is that usually I have been busy planting flowers. Not this year, in fact I haven't even bought bedding plants. So there is a bit of a dearth of colour in my life right now. I really need to feel the dirt between my fingers and see some colour!!!

Tomorrow (if the sun shines at all) I am going to get the cushions for my wicker rocker made and perhaps finish off one side of the second poncho I am making. I may even actually start the embroidery on the tablecloth. 

The baby formula shortage has now hit us. Lots of it is because of what could be considered panic buying due to the shortage in the United States and the fact that my city is only 9 miles from the border so lots of shoppers from the U.S. seem to head here whenever there is a shortage of something down there. Kind of reminds me of the great toilet paper shortage at the beginning of the pandemic.

I filled my vehicle with gas today and it felt like I was filling it with the best cuts of beef possible. I am hoping that the cost starts to drop a bit very soon. But I rather doubt that happening. All a person can do is find other ways to save, but I really pity those who have to drive any distance for their jobs.

Now that I have probably brought you all down, I am very sorry. I am off to pay all of you a visit.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Menu Monday

 

Before I post this weeks menu I think I should get you all caught up.

The past week has been very strange. 

Firstly we were storm stayed in Regina for the first couple of days. However staying put was perhaps the best thing we could have done. Monday night we were in the midst of a blizzard that saw people abandoning cars on the highways, after hitting ditches or hitting each other. Tuesday was spent waiting for them to get the abandoned and wrecked vehicles off the highway. Wednesday, when we finally ventured out we still passed cars and a couple of semi's still waiting to be hauled out of the ditches, but at least not blocking the highway.

We arrived home and ended up having to dig our way into the driveway. Then the rest of the week I was busy getting all those chores done that I had missed. 

I think I am all caught up for the most part, not so much project wise but regular household chores.

I have also spent a great deal of time following Kurt on Twitter due to the trucker convoy in Ottawa (my countries capital) and waiting to hear about Kris's house buying adventures. Probably why not much time was spent on projects. I also had a friend drop off some mending, which hopefully I will start tomorrow.

Kris's home buying has been going well. He has gotten his mortgage and the house inspection he wanted went well. There are a few minor things that need doing (why on earth would there be no down spouts on the house to drain water away from the foundation???). So all things moving forward he should be the proud owner of a new to him home on the 14th of this month.

He plans on packing the small things himself and getting movers for the larger items. Planning to start moving those smaller items on the 14th, the day he takes ownership. 

Kurt, well he is doing what he has always done. Teaching during the day and then evenings are spent Tweeting about the really bad guys at the convoy. Though it does seem that a few of those protesters are leaving slowly but surely. In fact one of the organizers is thinking of leaving very soon. So hopefully things will be back to normal in his life as well.

Now on to my menu's for the upcoming week.

Monday

A container of frozen chile served with toast.

Tuesday

Ham casserole of some type, using a package of frozen leftover ham from Sunday, and a salad (also leftover from Sunday).

Wednesday

Turkey rice soup from a container in the big freezer. Served along with either ham salad sandwiches or grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thursday

Leftover ham casserole. Served with another salad.

Friday

Salmon Patties, homemade tartar sauce, mashed turnip, and green beans.

Saturday

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas.

Sunday

Roast chicken, roast potatoes (or perhaps a tray of roasted veggies).

Everybody have a wonderful evening. I plan on visiting you all tomorrow.

God bless.

Sunday Ramblings

 

So, I have been a bit down in the dumps since my visit with my GP. It seems she is leaving in October so I will be switched to another doctor in the practice. I can't blame her as her husband and son live in another province and her husband can not sell his business. I will really miss her as she is the best doctor I have had here in this city. Not sure about the doctor that is taking over her patients as he is Harvey's doctor and does not seem at all thorough. At this point though I can not be without a doctor, so we shall see what happens.

It has been cold and raining here the last couple of days. Nice that I do not have to water plants, but it has put my harvesting and processing on hold. Hopefully I can get caught up next week.

I have managed to work on a few things this week.

I tried a new pie recipe.

Raspberry Citrus Pie, it was chilling in the fridge when I took this picture. Very tasty.

I used buttons this time around to quilt this, and managed to get the binding up to the point that I need to hand sew it. I should be able to finish it off tomorrow. Then move on to working on the cross stitch, providing the sun is shining.

I went for a walk this afternoon between showers and happened to find this when I looked down.

A twenty dollar bill!!! This will go in my savings envelope. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Wednesday's Happenings

 I had forgotten to take my blood pressure the last couple of days (okay last 4 days) so I quickly took it today. Not bad at all, though my pulse is a bit higher than I like. 

Really nothing much going on, and the fishing trip is being put off until Harvey's brother feels a bit better. He figures next weekend, which is the long weekend here in Canada. We celebrate our countries birthday on July 1st. Now, Kris usually comes home on the long weekends so I called him to see if he could come for a visit (bringing Eiko of course) this weekend. 

It turns out that Friday is his EDO, but he might have to give it up depending how much he needs to get done on the city's budget for next year. He does the budget for the swimming pools, parks, and rinks in the city and sometimes there are numerous rewrites. However he did say that if he managed to get Friday off he would come home that morning, if not he would come home after work. 

Harvey and he will go fishing and we have a tech type job for him to help us with. Harvey bought some lightbulbs that have a camera in them and he needs help installing them..... Thank heavens for Kris. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Monthly Goals

 

It has been a very long time since I did a monthly goals post, and it seems I need the boot in the behind that posting gives me.

That being said here are my goals for this month.

1.  Knit at least two scarves for my Secret Santa escapades in December.

2.  Get more of the angel cross stitch completed (I know it won't totally be done, but I am going to try my best).

3.  Get one more quilt top done.

4.  Hem my friends Dad's pants.

5.  Make Birthday cards and envelopes. 

6.  Place an order for new Blades for my Cricut (found out it is less expensive to order them online than buy them at Michael's or Walmart).

7.  Order some embroidery floss if I can not find any at Walmart of the colours I need.

8.  Start on the rag rug.

I just may have bit off more than I can do, but I will try and see what happens.

Another good bit of news. I managed to get Harvey and I in for our second shots on the 4th of this month. Hopefully they have lots of vaccine and we aren't postponed like the last time. Hurray to being fully vaccinated by the end of the week.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Saturday Roundup

Well it is getting close to another weeks end and I have been thinking that perhaps I have been a bit negative this past week. It's time to pull up my socks and see the good in the week.

This lockdown or self isolation has drawn Harvey and I closer. We have managed so far not to kill each other (even though we have gotten on each others nerves at times). Harvey manages to talk me down when things get too contentious on Facebook and keep me on more or less an even keel. I am still flabbergasted at how people are complaining, but today I have been able to laugh at their crazy theories.

Our garden is coming up nicely and we have a few more ideas on how to improve our backyard and make it a haven of peace.

I have knitted a pair of socks this week and have started on the second pair for the week and am almost done those.

I have completed a couple of small goals this week, which makes me extremely happy. It also makes the bigger ones seem more in reach. Perhaps I will actually finish all my monthly goals for a change.

While the weather has not been very nice, lots of very windy days (weather advisories abounding this week for just that reason) I have managed my daily walks, got my steps in and even managed a bit of work in the gardens (more needs to be done tomorrow). Things are looking just lovely.

So even with my downs things are moving along. I just have to look for the wonderful and lovely a bit more often.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Catching Up

I am amazed at how long it has been since I last posted. Sorry if I worried anyone, time just seemed to slip right on by.

I have managed to get my flowers planted and do a great deal of baking to take up to Kris's the next time I went on the 24th of May.

I came home to a very sick kitty. We watched Shania over the weekend, hoping, beyond hope that things would improve. After having her in the family for 20 years I was hoping for a few more years of cat cuddles and affection. Monday morning when there was very little improvement I called the vet. Our sweet girl was held in Harvey's arms as she breathed her last. I just could not ask that she be put to sleep.

We brought her home and she is buried under our cherry trees.

Later that evening I learned that an old and dear friend had left us as well. William had struggled with cancer for a number of years and things just got worse each year. With Covid-19 going on and all the rules, we did not get to say goodbye.

I think that I had a small bout of depression happening after that. Not being able to see our oldest son for months, two very hard deaths, and just plain tired of the rules and regulations. It actually got to be that I would only do what was necessary to keep the house reasonably clean and the two of us fed.

I didn't even want to sew, knit or do anything in the least creative. I am slowly getting bac my joy of life, though there are those days where all I want to do is sit in my chair and cry. Hopefully the worst is over now and I can get back to my normal every day boring life.

Thank you to all who were concerned. It is wonderful to know that the blogging world worries when someone disappears without notice.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

MIA

I have been missing in action over the past few weeks. Actually longer than I thought. I am dropping in tonight to let you all know there is nothing physically wrong with me. Just a bunch of family things happened all at once.

I will start posting again tomorrow and let all of you know what has been going on.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Thursday Tidbits

First I will answer a question from my last post. The clam shells I am talking about are the plastic containers that some veggies, baked goods or fruits come in. They usually snap together hence the moniker clam shell here in Canada.

We got back from Regina early this afternoon. I managed to clean Kris's apartment and straighten out his linen closet as well. 

Good news on Kris's healing. He is now allowed to put 50% of his weight on his leg and even drive. This makes us all very happy. Harvey said the one thing he was really worried about was that the injury was not healing correctly. So hearing that it is healing properly and Kris has now moved on to the next part of the journey is wonderful. It was also great to see a smile on his face as he limped around the room to practice walking. Physio is still closed down here so it could be awhile before he gets started on that level of recuperation.

Turns out he has three rods in his hip and 4 screws. A much more difficult surgery than we had first thought. 

I will still be going up every so often as he would have a great deal of trouble negotiating the stairs to his apartment with groceries or bags of garbage. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Thursday Tidbits

My cold is getting better. Still stuffed up and have a slight cough, but the temperature and headache have now disappeared. 

Managed to get outside and plant two more pots up. All I now have left is the items that will be put into the perennial bed and I need to replant my coleus and find that missing sage. 

I did not go shopping today, figured another day of sticking close to home would be best. So I tidied my curio cabinet (holds my angel collection), did some decluttering, worked on one of the quilts (hopefully will finish it tomorrow so I can work on the second one), and have been knitting. All between bouts of sitting in my recliner drinking hot tea and lemon. All in all a perfectly wonderful day. 

Harvey did get some more of our solar lights out and we have placed them in the garden. I sure hope they all work, it gets pretty black out there at night.

I did some phoning today and the pre-op paperwork is at the specialists so I can expect a phone call re my operation in a short time. At least I hope in a short time, but after I have gotten rid of this silly cold. 

Shopping will be done tomorrow with my list in hand. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Plumb Tuckered Out

Yep, after a whole winter of not catching the flu or a cold, I have come down with a nasty stuffed nose cold.

I find I can only do a bit at a time before I need to sit and catch my breath or my energy. 

Still even doing things in fits and starts I have managed over the last couple of days to get most (if not all of) my to do list done. 

I even managed to do a bit of extra cleaning. Just little chores, but enough to make me feel as if I have actually cleaned my home. I still have some larger extra cleaning chores to do so hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow.

Off to have some hot tea and lemon. But first I need to visit everyone.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Thursday Tidbits

It's been a funny month so far. My goal list is as long as it was at the beginning of the month. Nothing completed as of yet, a couple of things close to being completed though. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a few of them done. 

The fact is with the nicer weather I am on a cleaning and decluttering spree and that is taking up a great deal of my time. I still get to knit in the evenings and even manage a bit of hand quilting during the afternoon. But and it's a big but I am just not in the mood. 

Plans are whirling around in my head and Harvey even agrees with some of them. That is totally amazing to me, but I think he has been worried about me over the past couple of months and now that the results we have been waiting for are near, he wants me to be a bit less anxious. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that whatever the results we will both meet them head on. 

Since the days in February were cloudy and cold Harvey's depression really hit him hard. Now it is sunny and he can get outside and work things are much better in that department as well. The fact that his doctor left and he needed to find a new one was another obstacle to hurdle. Amazingly the doctor he went to today accepted him as a patient. I just hope this one sticks around until they manage to find a few more doctors to fill the areas we are short in here. 

I overheard while shopping today that we could have snow again next week. It is March and the weather is nothing if not unpredictable this time of year. One great thing is that if it does snow, the white stuff will not stick around for long.

Well off to do a bit more knitting.

Everybody have a wonderful day.

God bless.

Saturday Roundup

Yesterday I had my appointment in Regina with the specialist for my cervical biopsy. 

This was not a pleasant experience, as I told Harvey I would much rather break a bone or give birth to 12 babies in a row than go through that again. It hurt (I have a very high pain tolerance)!! I could feel every snip of tissue being removed and there was lots of snipping.

I am not sure if I want the biopsied tissue to be cancer free or not...… It seems that if it is cancerous removal would be preferable to having to go through this every six months or every year (that is if it is one of the diseases that could turn to cancer and they need to keep an eye on it).

Left the room very much in a haze of pain. When I got out to the waiting room Harvey took one look at me and asked what was wrong. I told him I wanted to go home, which meant no visit with Kris. The remainder of yesterday I had major cramps, today they seem to have gone. However the bleeding has not really lessened, and I am busy watching for signs of infection. Hopefully that will not happen and tomorrow everything will be back to normal or at least as normal as it can possibly be.

I need to phone the specialists office on Monday and set up an appointment for 4 weeks. I should know what if anything will be done (or if anything needs to be done) at that point. Four weeks of waiting this time around will be a breeze.

In other news I have almost finished hand quilting the blocks I only have two left and then I can start on the slashing. I may just be able to mark this project off the to do list this month. This means I could almost start another quilt or two to use snuggling into in the living room. Could also mean lots of other sewing getting accomplished as well.

The cleaning and using up of the chest freezer is moving right along. Amazing what a person can do when they put their minds to a task.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Sunday Ramblings

Well we made our return visit to the Anglican church today and things went pretty well. Except for me starting the wrong reading. I was very nervous, more so than in my own church the next time shouldn't be so bad.

We had coffee with the parishioners after the service and it was nice that the congregation was so very welcoming. Amazingly I knew quite a few of them.

The rest of the day has been getting ready for the upcoming week and month. I did my menu planning, made my to do list, and even managed to fit in some knitting. I should finish the second mitt of the pair tonight.

The salad is made, the roast beef and roasted veggies will be done shortly.

In other words all is right in my world. Though I still have some tidying to accomplish, but when I begin knitting that gets put on the back burner for awhile.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Progress

Yes, there has been progress on the renovations in the basement, but that isn't what I am talking about.

This morning at physiotherapy my therapist, Jenna, did the same measurements as she did at the beginning of the sessions.

There has been marked improvement in some areas, not so much in other areas. This means more work here at home. My sessions have been moved to once every two weeks which gives me time to work up to a higher hand weight, more reps and get used to playing with the theraputty.

Theraputty is much the same as silly putty, only a lot harder to work with. This is to help with strengthening my fingers and grip. I still have a ways to go in this area.

In talking to Jenna I told her that I realized I probably would never have the strength or mobility in my left wrist that I had before, but even once the therapy office figured they had helped all they could I was going to continue with the exercises. Jenna thought that was awesome as most people do not realize that quitting those exercises they have been given to do can cause a relapse. That is something I didn't realize either, I am just following Kurt's advice.

He had something similar happen. His was a torn ligament that needed surgery. As he kept on doing the exercises he gradually became able to do everything he could do before.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the same outcome.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
