Had 1st/4 in home physical therapy visits today. My left leg is not swollen nearly as much as my right leg was last Fall. We measured a bend of 80 degrees--I am supposed to reach 90 degrees in the next 10 days, which will be doable.
Stretching out my pain medications, BUT, ever since the nerve block right before Thursday morning surgery I have had NO KNEE pain in my left leg.
Back to bed now for some more sleep, after doing dishes this afternoon.

Good chances of rain and Heavy rain for the next 5 days. Planting/tending/ANY gardening is now a dirty word with DD's and they downright refuse to do much, if any. DH is different and he will be putting out seeds for me in my south of the garage bed today and tomorrow, and we will see what grows.
I wasn't able to properly prep my 3 beds surrounding my cement cistern, 12' x 9' x 12', but I convinced eldest DD to drop okra and Indian corn seeds, and we'll see what grows, since it's had deep soaking rains since then.

DH dropped seeds for me next to the south facing outside wall of the garage, where I have this 4 1/2'x ~18' bed, on Thursday. He has promised to drop more seeds for me today, in between the raindrops.
DH and both DD's mowed the whole yard yesterday. Looks great, But I cautioned DH that he is scalping the grass and needs to raise it higher.
When I was grabbing seeds I made small jar of hollyhocks, sunflowers, and sweet corn. Not satisfied with the volume of sweet corn seeds I grabbed 1/2 packages of sweet corn that I had ordered from Jung for 2024. I was astonished--they were coated pink, just like the ones that I bought locally from an FS center (when they still sold to the general public and sold seeds by weight.) These seeds were viable, even one year after purchase, so I will hold onto the other package until 2026.
Here is the vial and my instructions, printed on a used piece of copy paper, hence the small graph, And a spelling error in instructions.
