925 is huge, almost a iron butt yet that does not count in a Taco. You are making good progress.

so far really well. Rusty helped me with my PT last night and will again tonight. In the truck I can stretch out full length (Short legs doncha know) and when I back the seat up I can bend all the way past 90 so I am doing exercises while running down the slab. My goal is to be better off in 25 days when I get home than I am now. Have a bike ride in September!!

swelled up pretty badly last night. Ice and elevation knocked it back quickly. Last nights exercises were minimal. Will do a full series tonight. Today was another 13 hour day in the truck.

Only about 10 hours in the truck today. Took a couple hours and had a nice ride through Arches National Park just North of Moab. Did get out a couple times for short walks. Stunning scenery. Then a slab run to Winnemucca NV. About 10 hours tomorrow should see us to our destination. So far the leg is behaving quite well. Most times I see swelling is from my exercises.

Swelling from exercise is acceptable but not swelling due to excess usage. You are working it well for fast healing.

Going to get a workout today. Wedding prep involves getting 100 bales of hay and pallet tables built.

Couple hard days but the wedding area is all setup. 100 hay bales for seats about 15 tables made from pallets and a 20 by 20 dance floor (pallets covered in plywood) with lots of lights. Then late this afternoon the well pump crapped out, that was fun and I discovered during my shower this evening it is still not right. Have to work n that some more in the morning Had probably 40 people here for rehearsal and dinner. Will try to get some pics up tomorrow Knee is talking pretty loud by the end of each day but Ice and a night of rest seem to reset it each night. Flexibility is doing a bit better with all the moving. Making memories!!!

Glad you have hope for the pump, can be worse if a point or motor is needed. Take care of that knee.

I initially thought it was the pressure switch not activating. Pump ran fine when you pushed the contacts closed manually. Changed that and the same result. Got to looking and tge filter was completely plugged with mud. They have a well and a reservoir up on the hill above the house. Because of the activity this weekend they had a water delivery to top off the tank. That stirred up the sentiment and pushed it down line and plugged the filter. So once that was figured out we tried removing the filter and naturally busted the pvc fittings. 2 runs to the hardware 15 miles away and we have water again. Always an adventure!!
