Recovery and Discovery

I finished my physical therapy and the MD said I was doing very well and wouldn't see me again for 4 months. No more "Franken knee".
Sam and Margie visited us this month as their lives are changing job wise. It was fun and different; we ate out and they stayed in a motel. Larry's girls joined us and we had fun catching up with their lives.

As you can see my brothers have really matured over the years ;))!
One thing I'm struggling with these days is finding a place I can volunteer which enriches me by letting me use my experience fully. My dream is working/being outside enjoying people and helping them some how. I've explored SAGing for various groups. This month I helped Team in Training but there's more coaches than participants. So...I don't think that's it.
Another struggle I have is trying to help MaryLou with her health issues and diminishments. She's had a full heart assessment and learned her arteries, veins, valves and rhythms are good but her pulse is very slow but not enough for a pacemaker. Now she's having a sleep study tonight and hopefully that process with yield some help for her. It may indicate she does need a pacemaker.
I took a trip up to Jones' Store north of Bass Lake some 11 miles; it's one of my favorite spots and it gave me and the dogs a break.
