It's hard to know which was hurt worse sometimes, your butt or your feelings for having taken a fall in public, eh?
Last session of PT today - Dr says the leg is good to go and just continuing exercising and time will take care of the last few problems (not stretching out completely flat, and not bending at an angle quite as acute as the other knee yet). And that pesky swelling will eventually go down.
As the 10-day forecast advances into August territory there is no relief from the heat in sight; every day is predicted to be over 100o. I would happily forego some meteorological heat record if it would just drop down into the "average" 90s for this time of year.
A note from this week's Goodwill finds - I also picked up a nice clean little HomeMedic sound machine (normally they cost about $20 on Amazon) for $3 for a friend who expressed an interest in one. It has a feature I've been thinking of adding to mine - a wad of duct tape over the LED light that is a bright green in the dark bedroom when the device is turned on. I usually just prop my phone over the top (because the timer - 15, 30, and 60 minutes) also has a light. But that tape is a better low-tech answer.
We have reached a stage in this drought locally when fires are started from things like wonky lawn mowers and whole neighborhoods are torched before the fire is put out. In the Dallas area 20 homes burned, 9 of them completely destroyed that way. Closer to here a little area was burned, 3 or 4 homes, because a window unit air conditioner caught fire and spread. Vigilance is they key to surviving the rest of this summer. I need to put the dogs' leashes out next to their food trunk and be ready to load food and dogs and a few things of mine if need be.
