Finally ready to move ahead - finding what's up with trick knee!

Sorry if I have been so preoccupied lately with my knee problem folks. But hoping to finally find out what the issue or issues are with an MRI test- next Monday morning it's scheduled. Weird how this is something to look forward too, but with all the waiting since first seeing the doctor I am really looking forward to moving ahead and fixing this thing.

But you know in perspective there are much better things to be more excited about:
  • My son is turning Six- wow how time fly’s!
  • Halloween is coming which means treats- Yum!
  • Get to drive the new truck while wife is gone- hooray!
  • Also nothing like still watching some home team post season baseball!
  • Last but not least - Football (BADGERS & PACK)!!

While recovering from whatever procedure is done to my knee I plan to take some time to reflect towards the end of October thru mid-November. I’ll  be sharing some thoughts and feelings of what it is I miss most without Mom. FYI- Dad and Mom's 56th anniversary would have been Oct 29th and her birthday would’ve been November 9th so it seems fitting to fill you in on who this wonderful woman was and what she meant to her family.

Another PT session - Another new exercise

Just got home from my 2nd physical therapy session and nothing new to report but was given a different exercise to try.  I hope by next weeks PT they allow me to be more aggressive or they at least diagnosis my knee problem with a MRI. At this stage thou I can begin walking short distances no more than 20 minutes. Need to be smart so will stick with their advice. With the nice weather our taking the cover off pool this week and do some swimming with the kids. Adding a little bike riding into it and not a terrible menu of activity. 

My Wife is now officially a trucking mama!! Had a speed bump of concern if the truck would be able to pull the camper of our dreams. I ended up making a complete ass of myself by losing my temper with dealership but later found out I was WRONG about the  towing hitch truck is equipped with - Sorry MR Salesman. 

We attended a Packer family tailgate party that was awesome - What a Wisconsin sports weekend, doubt we will ever see the national stage like that ever again. Plus what made it best was a sweep with wins by Pack, BrewCrew & BuckyBadger. Another check mark on my bucket list! 

Anyway please tell your friends to check out the site. Send me your prayers  as I get back to being a bit more active for the next weeks and hope no set backs coming.
