We went out for lunch and now we are waiting for a tornado warning to pass by us. I won't be able to walk around the block as the temp has gone up to 88 with high humidity. There is hail and tornadoes touching down about 50 to 100 miles from our home. We might have to go down in the basement waiting for it to pass by.

The tornadoes missed our city in spite of tornadoes from way up northern Minnesota and southern Minnesota (we are in the lower third of the state). Unfortunately, three people died and dozens were injured.

I had a pain pill last night about 8:00 p.m. and another at 10:00 a.m. this morning...I have been given another prescription and I am sure this will be my last refill so am ekeing them out and trying to make them last as long as possible. When I woke up at 6:00 a.m. I did 20 leg lifts with each leg had a bowl of cereal and went back to sleep for another 2 hours. It is 10:30 and in a few minutes I will do 10 minutes on the recumbent bike and then walk around the block which is close to 1/2 mile. After that I will ice and this afternoon will do my other exercises.
I am moving around more and trying to watch my food intake, especially sodium, and the scale showed a small loss yesterday and today. I am feeling motivated to move and eat healthy foods and am optimistic about getting my weight down.
Tomorrow hubby and I will go to congregate dining for lunch and that will be nice, especially not having to cook and clean up afterward. I hope we can go for lunch every day until I go back to work. I tried to talk my husband into Meals on Wheels so I won't have to worry about him cooking while I am gone (he sometimes doesn't light the gas and leaves the room before he notices it didn't light). I might have to get an eletric stove put in so I won't have to worry about that. I was worried about our electric bill going out of sight with warm weather but luckily our weather has been on the cool side and hubby hasn't changed the system over to cool yet. Last summer our electric bills were $200 a month during the hottest months and we really cannot afford that. As soon as my knee is healed enough I will start getting the house ready to sell and the first step is to bring boxes and boxes of items to the thrift store. Since we have so much to get rid of the thrift store will send out a truck and carry the items out for us. Last year my daughter helped me clean the basement and we filled 2 dumpsters and donated about 650 boxes of saleable items. We probably should have a sale for the larger items.
I have just finished 10 minutes on the recumbent bike and will be taking my walk around the block shortly. Temp is about 70 degrees so that should help. I will bring water to drink and cell phone in case I need those.

Thank goodness for modern technology. YOU GO BIONIC WOMAN! 
I had 50 lbs myself to lose when I started and I have 38 to go, we can both do this! You take care of your new knees and I'll take care of my old ones. 
with your recovery. Keep it up and you'll be dancing down the block in no time.
Walking is a great exercise.
