Wheels!

Hurrah! I'm driving again. Joe and I went to my first outpatient rehab appointment today and I rewarded myself for being tortured by driving myself on my own errands this afternoon. Rehab was much tougher than the in home physical therapy, but the results will be worth it as my leg still isn't straight by 15 degrees which Dave, my new therapist, says has to change. He started the process by pushing down my knee until it hurt and then holding it there for 20 seconds. His more aggressive style three times a week will definitely get me back in shape.

This afternoon I drove to the library, the post office, and Krogers. I was far less dangerous in the car than I was in the electric cart in Krogers in which I wiped out an entire display of hand sanitizer. Oops! I picked it all up though.

It's nice to feel independent and I already have plans for tomorrow. Joe is subbing Thursday and Friday so I won't have to listen to him lecture me when I take off for the big city of Heath and some Christmas shopping that I need to finish before his family's get-to-gether this Saturday. I will probably let Joe drive us over to Westerville for that though.

I am glad to have my wheels back!
