I\u2019m back camping in Quartzsite now. The knee is coming along well and I can walk without pain once again. I have to be careful that I don\u2019t do too much, because even though my knee is fixed, I\u2019m way out of shape from a couple years of not doing much but holding down a chair. It sure seems wonderful to get out for walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quartzsite has been chilly. Mornings are in the low 40s and it usually doesn\u2019t get out of the 60s in the afternoon. We have had two days of temps in the high 70s but it\u2019s not supposed to last past today. I have been burning propane in the mornings, so even with all my solar and batteries, I have had to rely on fossil fuel for heat. The good thing is that I don\u2019t use much in this small space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been working on some small projects around my rig. Seems like something always needs fixing. Just setting up my solar, propane bottles, rugs and chairs is more work as I get older. The nice thing is that I can do a little at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another week I will watch Hanna for 4 days when Donna goes to Disneyland. It might be good to have a pet for company for a few days, but I\u2019m not looking forward to taking her out to go potty in the early morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s all for now. I just wanted to update my knee progress. I\u2019m not having any pain while walking but bending it still hurts a little, and I wake in the night once or twice and need to move the joint to get comfortable. I think I\u2019m doing great at 7 weeks since surgery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
