The Latest But Maybe Not The Greatest.

Re last post, the ARC gave us their approval for our sun screen.  Installation will be on the 12th.  No soap on the flamingos though. ***** Nancy was in New Jersey for a few days visiting Laura and the girls.  She came home a couple days ago a little under the weather.  Not feeling at […]

More News From The Desert.

The Perfect Weather Zone is living up to its name.  I won’t elaborate, because then you may want to move here, and there is already too much traffic on Oracle and Tangerine Roads. We still see lots of Minnesota license plates on Oracle and Tangerine Roads.  Almost as many as Arizona plates sometimes.  Often hear […]

News From The Desert

On Monday, I had my last session with Mary The Physical Therapy Lady.  She said I was doing very well and didn’t need her anymore.  I was essentially pain free and my range of motion was good.  To celebrate, I did extra exercises and walked allot when I went shopping with Nancy.  My leg rebelled […]

Knee Two Of Two (Part Two).

After my first knee replacement last November, I posted my hospital experiences in this blog the day I got out of the hospital.  I couldn’t wait to report the gory details. I have now been out of the hospital for three days since my last knee replacement, and I am just now getting around to […]

Knee Two Of Two.

Tomorrow, I turn myself in at the den of the evil pee collectors at 0530.  It’s my left knee’s turn this time. With the memory of my last visit to that den (Tucson Medical Center) still very fresh in my mind, I am having a difficult time trying to think good thoughts about knee replacement […]

We Are Still Here.

Just a quick post to let you know that Otis and I are still here. Otis seems to be recovering from whatever he had, for which we are very happy.  He’s eating again, and appears to be his old self.  His problem may have been he was stressed out from all the people invading his […]

Too Much Time To Think.

It’s a very nice, quiet morning on Sausalito Trail in Sun City Vistoso, and I think there is a good chance the day will stay that way.    No one will be here today to fix or install anything.  If there is havoc here today, Nancy or I will be the cause of it.  I suppose […]

Terrible Tiling Turmoil

Nancy has been exiled to her sewing room and is making doll clothes that should go to the Smithsonian but are going to granddaughters Lanie and Macie instead. Otis and I are holed up in the den watching CNN.  In addition, I am giving my new knee some stretches and quadriceps exercises.  Otis could do […]

From Inside The Perfect Weather Zone.

Some of you snow shovelers out there may think that Perfect Weather Zonies have nothing to do but to look out of windows and see the boring weather like you are seeing in the photo.  Not to worry, we have plenty to do.  People here have different ways of coping, but Nancy and I fend […]

Vastus Medialis Oblique

Went for another round of physical therapy yesterday.  When I checked in, I learned that Dawn The Physical Therapy Lady wasn’t there because her father had fallen ill, so, another Physical Therapy Lady was assigned. This Physical Therapy Lady was all business.  Didn’t even get a chance to learn her first name.  She started out […]
