WE’RE BAACKK………
Hello everyone! Happily, we’re able to continue Trip #5. We had to end our trip about 5 ½ weeks into it because of my knee issue. After 3 ½ weeks at home in NY and many doctor, physical therapy, and accupuncture appointments, we’re heading back out again. Once we had used up the small amount of PT visits my insurance would allow, we figured everything I am doing at home can be done in the RV. I am now the proud owner of my own walker & my own cane. Both have helped tremendously, and they are packed into the RV along with a knee brace to help me recover. The Cortisone shot helped with the pain for a short period of time, then the knee got worse, but never as severe as it was initially. I found that anytime I walked without some kind of support, the next day I paid for it. I was given exercises by the physical therapist; I do them daily & they’ve been helping. We decided that the exercises, the daily icing, walking with support only, all of that could be done in the RV while I recovered – or didn’t recover – in which case, a knee replacement surgery may be in my future. Time will tell. Thank you so much to everyone for your support, particularly Rob, who has been amazing.
