Today I was given the ok to spend 50% of my time upright.  That’s 30% more than before so I’ll be in the craft room going crazy tomorrow.  I’ve been so fortunate to have so many nice people keep us in food and treats and crafty things.  I’m not sure how soon I’ll be walking like an Egyptian, or like myself, but I’m hoping it’s soon.  I walk, just not really well.  I’m not sure what the deal is, but every time they replace a weight bearing joint, I have to relearn to bend my knees when I walk.  Isn’t that the weirdest thing?  I just don’t know how one day I bend my knees and then a couple days later, can’t remember to bend them.  I think I’m alone in this malady as I’ve watched other people walk after replacement surgery and they bend their knees like normal.  Maybe being abnormal is the way to go as it seems to give me more balance and I don’t take too large of steps so it minimizes my chances for failure.  Unfortunately, it slows my recovery process as well.  Maybe it’s a little give and take.  I’ll take it.
