I can relate to your PT & working on your knee....I had knee reconstruction before they did it arthroscopically....leg was in a cast for a month & couldn't bend the knee once it was out of the cast & into a brace that wouldn't let it bend either. PT was all about breaking up the scar tissue for the first 2 months & exercising to build back up the mucsle in the leg which had completely atrophied while in the cast. Couldn't walk on the leg for 3 months of living on crutches. Had no idea that the knee wouldn't bend at all after the surgery & cast.....& breaking up the scar tissue was the most painful experience of my life. I would come out of PT as white as a ghost most days.

Sweet that you have a husband to cook for you. I left my H 6 years ago for oh so many of his irresponsible ways even though he would cook for me when my anorexia was really bad....the other bad things he did didn't make his cooking worth staying for.

I have to be careful here with my electric bills. During the cold winters, I have bills up to over $400 & the same in the summer for the cooling....so I am very careful in my use of my heat pump (which acts as both heating & AC)

Going to fix more of the chicken salad with the other 1/2 of the chicken.....& some cucumber spread which I can use in wraps.....keeping them refrigerated makes them a nice cool meal to eat when nothing but ice cream sounds good to eat....or the Mango fruitcicles. Got the makings for mango smoothies also......that uses the frozen yogurt which is good protein.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are good & easy to fix...actually when I was dealing with major anorexia, I survived on 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich & oatmeal cookies.....which reminds me....I have pumpkin left to make more oatmeal/pumpkin/cranberry cookies before the pumpkin spoils in the refrig.....but everything takes work & I'm not always willing to work so hard to make the food I eat & yet I look at the frozen food & the contents are horrible with the preservatives.......it takes me hours to go grocery shoping because I look at the contents of everything I buy & no MSG or other bad things so I have to look at all the labels & that's a long process if I'm looking to buy things I don't normally buy for a change.
