98 this morning.  We got to 56° yesterday and the wind howled all day.  Today is supposed to be a bit warmer and it is sunny and clear, no wind !
I'm not sure how much the PT is helping.  The sciatica which runs down my left side seems to be a lot better but the muscles in my legs on both sides are sore as heck and tight.  I was given several exercises to do at home each day and I have been doing them \, mostly stretching exercises, but I wonder if those are causing my muscle pain ?  I have another session scheduled for tomorrow so I will see what they have to say.

117 this cloudy morning.

40° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 38°/23°. Not as nice a day as yesterday, but so far dry and that is a good thing...

Sorry you are still having problems Wally. I hope you can find some resolution soon.

Wally, would a massage help ?

137 today morning. I tasted some apple yesterday and it was so sweet that I had another slice. And there we are at 137.

88 this morning.  Late to the show this morning, getting ready for my PT in a bit.  It is going to be warming up a bit the next few days.  No wind and clear and sunny.
SKB, I don't know what will help really.  I am going to see what the PT person has to say.  The pain down my right side from the sciatica is not really bad but my thigh muscles on both sides are giving me a lot of problems and I don't know why.

140 this cloudy morning. Don't know where that came from...sigh...

39° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 42°/19°.

Need to make a quick trip out to pick up my debit card at the drug store. I left it behind once before. Dumb move in my part...

At least it is a short drive and hopefully my knee will still be OK after.

Sometimes that happens. I got a 137 yesterday but I did have some apple the evening before.

Today I am at 114.

88 this morning.  We got to 63° yesterday and heading to 67° today.  Clear and sunny with no wind.  It looks like next week will be in the mid to high 70s.  Spring may be on the way.
I don't know what the title is for the people that guide you with the PT sessions.  Yesterday I found out that I was doing a couple of the exercises wrong and that is causing some of my problems.  The sciatica is in the background and the exercises have apparently helped a lot but I am having a lot of muscle pain in both legs and it seems to be from the exercises so doing them wrong makes sense that it may be leading to my muscle pain.  Interesting that the longer that I am up and moving it gets better.

131 this cloudy morning.

41¨° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 34°/17°. There is a light dusting of new snow on the ground and may have a few more snow showers. Spring isn't here quite yet.

Glad to hear you got some answers to the pain you have been feeling Wally. I have had PT many times and it is often difficult to duplicate the exercises at home.

I don't know what the title is for the people that guide you with the PT sessions.

They are known as physiotherapists. At least that is the term used here.

Yesterday, I misbehaved again, with food, rather dessert. I'm at 143 today.

84 this morning.  We got to 68° yesterday and heading to 72° today then cooling down tomorrow with a small front passing through so windy.  Next week we will be in the mid 70s.
Yeah, physiotherapists sounds right.  I have another session today but I really don't think the PT is doing a lot to help.  I have two more weeks after this then I will see the orthopedic doctor again for a follow up. 
Barbara, glad your knee is doing better.

115 this blue sky morning.

Cold weather has set in again. Yesterday's high was 30°, today's forecast is 24°/9°. No snow in the forecast but very cold!

Thanks Wally! I have no clue why all of a sudden my knee is feeling better, maybe just taking it so easy did it. Yesterday was pain free again and so far today seems OK too.

That's great. Taking it easy seems the right thing to do. The body does have self healing capabilities.

I'm down to 124 today.

89 this morning.  We got to 74° yesterday but today it is quite windy and the high is supposed to be 63° as a front passes through but no sign of any rain here.  Starting tomorrow it will be warming up and next week we will be in the mid to high 70s.
I had a PET scan of the arteries around the heart yesterday.  The local hospital has a working relationship with the University of Southern California medical and they have the PET scanner in a trailer that they bring up here from time to time and my cardiologist felt that it would be useful.  It was not too bad, there are two scans, each one 10 minutes and the second one is with an injection of a substance to get your heart beating as if you were running.  Some people have a reaction to the injection and may get nauseous but I didn't have any reaction so it was not a problem.  I see my cardiologist next Wednesday to review the result.
The garage door opener on the garage that I use died yesterday so we have to get a new one but the interesting thing that my BIL was talking to the previous owner that built the house remarked that he installed that opener 40 years ago !  This house was built in 1974 and he installed the opener a couple of years later.  I am sure that the one we put in now won't last 40 years.
