Except for one area that seems to be swollen and a little sore with scar tissue, my knee is pretty much back to normal.
I have been able to go for my 5 mile walks in the morning, when it has been warmer. I have been doing 20 miles on my recumbent bike in the garage when it has been cold out.
I am glad that I decided to get my knee scoped out when I did. Post surgery was a piece of cake except for the first couple of days.
I will slowly strengthen my knee up as time goes by and by the Summer I should be able to do my 8-9 miles of walking like I used to do. I will be glad when the warm weather arrives here.
I have been thinking about getting one of those large portable generators that I can run when/if we get another hurricane or a bad storm knocks out the electricity.
I need one that will produce enough electricity to run 2 refrigeratosr/freezers along with some lamps and fans. I have already started doing some research on these generators. Not sure which one nor how big of a one I will get yet. Still got some time to figure it out and make a decision before the hurricane season begins.
New Piece Of Workout Equipment
My new Pec Deck arrived here yesterday. It is the Body Solid model GPM65. It took me a couple of hours to get it put together since there were no instructions included. All they gave me was a schematic but it was a copy of a copy of a copy. Needless to say it was rather difficult to read.
I tried to locate an actual instruction manual online but it appears that the company did not make one for this model.
I was relatively surprised that I was able to get it all put together with only a few minor mistakes being made.
One thing I like about this particular model is that it has a small footprint, which is important since I am running out of space in our garage.
It measures only 28-by-65-by-32 inches (W x H x D).
I used this machine for the first time today and it works really well and is very smooth.

Getting Back In The Swing Of Things
Today I began the road back to a full recovery from my knee surgery. This morning I walked 5 miles without taking a break and I also started back into my weight lifting workouts.
I am kind of wiped out tonight. It has been a while since I have done both walking and weight lifting workouts on the same day, which is what I was doing daily before my knee problems started up.
It will take a bit to get back into things in full stride.
My pec deck arrived today. I was not expecting it until tomorrow. I will spend part of Friday putting it together. Hopefully that job will go smoothly. I will take a few photos if it after I have built it.
