Things are looking up!

My knee feels much better, although still by no means back to normal.  I have been going on shorter, 5 mile walks that are on flat surfaces.  I have had three physio treatments so far with three more scheduled for this coming week.  The physiotherapist says that the more walking I do, the better it is for my knee.  I am hestitate though as the knee is sore when I am walking.  Tomorrow will be the first day that I am going back off of the anti-inflamitories again.  I want to see what the knee will be like without them.  Hopefully by next Sunday I will be able to tell you that the knee is all better :)

On a happier note, I think I have finally found the perfect sleeping back for me.  It weighs less than 2 lbs, is big enough for my big body, and provides more privacy that the sleeping sack which I pictured in a previous blog.  We will see.  I think it is about the 4th or 5th bag I have bought now.  Still trying to figure out how to deal with rain.  Poncho, rain jacket, umbrella, all three, or maybe nothing.  I am sure a rain on a 30C day would feel good.

MEC Caravan Sleeping Bag +10C Weight: 1.18kg (Long) This generously cut bag provides plenty of room, even if you’re a large or lively sleeper. The roomy foot section permits your feet to find a relaxed position without fighting the bag or crushing the insulation. A full length zip lets you convert it to a comforter on warm nights. For all its luxury, the Caravan still comes in at a reasonable weight and packed size. Shell is polyester. Lining is nylon. Insulated with Hyperloft Eco, with 50% recycled content. Offset-quilt construction to prevent cold spots at the stitching lines. Drawcord with single-point adjustment. Roll top stuff sack included.
