The weather is nice in Southern Colorado right now with daytime temps in the 40's. Nights are a little chilly dipping into the mid 20's . Unfortunately we are stuck in Arizona ( 70's today here so stuck isn't too bad!). Had to return the end of September so my wife could get her pre-op done for a partial knee replacement that was done October 27th. Fortunately she is doing great with the recovery and now 6 weeks out is up to walking 1.5 miles some days and at least a mile most others.
Wishing we were up in Colorado but determined to enjoy our time here in the north central mountains. of AZ. The campervan is already to go so this Friday down to Roosevelt lake for some camping and hiking on fairly flat trails.
Oh, so far no snow to shovel here!

That looks very similar to here in the Blue Ridge right now, we are due another 3-5" tonite.
You mentioned your wife getting a partial. My bride went through the same thing a few years ago. She did the partial knee and it worked great. So good that she forgot and hopped out of the back of the truck without thinking. She had wiped it out. She now has a full and it was a good bit more invasive because they had to remove the partial and she had to PT through the old scar tissue. All I can say is be ever mindful that it is a weaker repair. She is on the stationary daily and walks the hound every morning... motion is the lotion.
All that said, this is the other morning.

DRP. I will definitely let her know that there will be no jumping! Thanks for the warning. At 70 years old, she doesn't do much jumping anyway

My wife had her rt knee replaced in October '22, it was so bad for that last couple years that she couldn't do much (and admits now that she waited too long to have it done; ie, ya dont get the time back). She hasn't been as 'vigorous' since but she is steady and can go for a good long walk. And she can help support me when I get too wobbly!
