Was at physiotherapist this pm about R knee.

She felt my leg muscles and said my L leg muscles were much stronger than the R where I am experiecing pain and weakness around the knee.

This is to do with that road accident.
The R leg is the dominant, or should be. Since the accident the R leg muscles have been largely dependent on the L weakening both the joint and the muscles.

Got a set of exercises to do 3 times a day.

Amos, I'm a smidgeon younger than you and our first reading book was The Little Red Hen. I used to love the stories.

Jane, I got 3 as well......Amelia has lovely brown eyes hasn't she and more hair than my OH. It was worth going back to get some more bargains then! I like the sound of the kneeler you can sit on. lol

I drove to a garden centre down the lanes this afternoon, top down and hat and shades on. lol I bought an evergreen Pittosporum Gaiety shrub and a small squashy bucket with some gift vouchers. It has grey green white edged leaves and black stems. I also got a new childrens garden fork after FIL turned my old one into a trident. It comes up to my waist and is as light as a feather and much easier for me in the borders.

Mandy, that sounds soooo nice!!

Yes, where are you Frank......watching footie??

Jane Report 21 Jun 2010 21:38

Amos ,any more memories??? from your younger days.
I did Google Old Dog Tom and something comes up.

I spoke to Maureen tonight and her Mum is waiting for a bed at the Hospice.She is still in Hospital and in quite good spirits .Has had lots of visitors .Someone even flew over from America to see her.
Maureen is ok and will come back to us when she can.

Evening all, I suppose you are all trying to sleep on this very warm evening.

The reason I haven't been around is. I have been busy in the garden, also Ros has a new set of games on the computer, and can't leave them alone, she's taken over !!!!!

No one son called this afternoon, knocked off work early, so he could bring me my Fathers day card and present. Lewis bought me a garden trolly, so that "PAPPY CAN MOVES THINGS FROM THE CAR TO THE GARDEN , without FALLING OVER. He did this without any prompting. What a lucky man I am, having a Grandson who is so kind and thoughtful. My son bought me a pair of electric securteures (If thats how it's spelt) I tried them out, I must watch my fingers !!!!! You know what i'm like.

I know you will see this tomorrow, another sunny day is promised. Good night. God bless
