Total Knee Replacement Journal

Total Knee Replacement Journal

At 73, I’m an active guy: yoga, skiing, golf, RVing, and morning walks. Recently, my right knee staged a mutiny, leading to a total knee replacement. This journal captures my journey—warts, humor, and all—while offering tips for anyone going through the same process. Recovery isn’t linear; patience, planning, and a sense of humor are key.

Homebase Downtime

Homebase Downtime

As this pandemic continues to raise its ugly head, we have decided to hunker down at our Homebase. This frankly provided me with an opportunity for a handful of projects that I wanted to get prior to our next outing. Our last outing took us to Las Cruces, NM where the rig took a good beating from the heat and high winds. Throw in a little tumbleweed, ants, and various other debris and I had my hands full.

Homeward Bound

Homeward Bound

After spending a little over 14 days in Las Cruces visiting family in El Paso it was time for us to head back to TN. As we watched the spread of the virus inundate Arizona, Texas, and a number of southern states we decided to head directly home. Noticing posts from a number of you regarding crowed campground to the north our plans to head to Colorado then Wyoming east through South Dakota just seemed out of the question.

El Paso Dash

El Paso Dash

We have been grinding over this trip for the last 2 1/2 months as we wait out this stay-at-home decision. We have been isolated other than going to the grocery store and of course, my morning walks with Zoey for this entire time. I heard a phrase the other day that might describe how we are approaching this first trip out, “Calculated Risk Assessment” travel. We wanted to set a health baseline for our trip so we both have been recently tested for COVID and the results I am happy to say are negative.

Back To The Garden

Back To The Garden

Prior to jumping into RV most timing, I loved to garden. I spent a great deal of time preparing a 40′ x 4′ piece of ground getting it ready for our vegetable garden. The soil was very good to start but we amended that with a couple of years of composting that we had built up. The results were nothing but fantastic. We harvested the sweetest tomatoes, the best greens, Brussel sprouts, snap peas and beans we had ever tasted. I’m sure we all stay this about our gardens :). I loved working the soil in this patch of ground. It became a daily habit to go out and tend it.

This year’s travels took us back to some of our favorite places and a few new ones, too. We kicked things off at North Myrtle Beach, one of our all-time favorite Atlantic Coast spots. Staying at the North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Marina gave us the perfect mix of beach time, and laid-back coastal living.

From there, we headed south for a month-long stay near Tampa and St. Pete, where the sunshine, friendly folks, and Gulf Coast charm reminded us why we love Florida winters so much. Later in the year, we made our way to Elkhart, Indiana, and then up to western New York just in time to catch the brilliant fall foliage—a beautiful way to wrap up another great travel season on the road.

Can’t wait to see where the road takes us next! 🚐🌴🍂
