I ‘crutched it’ down the drive to meet Elliott who was locking the cemetery gates, a part time job we’ve been asked to do. I will likely do this more often now as going up and down the hill felt really good on my knee.

And the medical issues continue, today having an ultrasound after a mammogram. But issues that had appeared 6 months ago are no longer evident, so I’m very thankful for the good news. 

I love the way mint goes to seed after flowering. The green seed pods remind me of moss covered tree roots in an English forest.

We have so many of these beautiful pollinators in the garden, swarms of them enjoying the flowers we’ve planted, and it’s wonderful to enjoy seeing one close up and frozen in time while it was busy working. Meet the Great Black Wasp.

My first PT session after surgery went well. Having ice and electric treatment here. Hopefully soon, as my mobility increases, I’ll be able to post photos other than my poor knee!

I have to raise my leg higher than this, which is very painful, and I simply can’t do it all the time because of that. On a good note, Doc increased my meds since the dosage simply wasn’t working.

At home and enduring really bad pain. It was hard to smile for this photo.
