Hello Bloggers!
Well, the waiting is over! I am happy to report I have been released as a patient for my recent knee surgery! Today I took Amtrak to (and from) St. Louis and met with my surgeon, the one who performed my knee replacement RE-DO in July.
He said I have lots of new bony growth and that I can lose the walker, and start using a cane! He also said I don't have to return to him for ONE YEAR! I am so excited!
When I arrived at the station in Kirkwood, MO, my dear friend Rita was there to pick me up! She did this in more ways than one! Rita is a very positive and animated person, and always sees the glass full, not even half-full! I love that about her!
We went to lunch at Pickleman's in downtown Kirkwood, then the doctor's appointment, and finally went to the Farmer's Market which is located right across the street from the train station.
Rita is such a fun and lively person, and it was a lot of fun spending the day with her.
Here are some photos from today--I hope you enjoy them!
I'm super tired as this was a very long day, so I'll be back tomorrow with more ideas using Gelatos!
