It made it up just above freezing this afternoon. There were advisories about potential flurries but I didn't see any.

I had my appointment with my foot and ankle orthopedist this afternoon. She wants me to go back to wearing the ankle brace every day for a month then very slowly ween off of it since I'm having tendonitis issues again. She wants me to keep going with the PT for the winter into the spring. When I go back in March she'll schedule the six months follow up MRIs for the ankles.

I'm hoping to avoid needing surgery which would mean being laid up for 4-6 weeks hobbling around the first floor of the house on crutches, not being able to navigate the other floors of the house, or take care of all the pets needs, drive thr car, go to the laundromat, etc.

After my appointment I went to Joann's fabrics and crafts. I got a couple of skeins of the variegated yarn designed for doing granny squares, plus tweedy colored yard for knitting a scarf. I really need to get back into the crafting groove since doing hand PT keeps getting put off by the ankles and knees PT sessions.

Tomorrow is PT, followed by me buying more bird seed since the supermarket I went to yesterday was out of the twenty pound bags.
