Time Marches on !

Well I am still in Physical Therapy twice a week for my back, hip and leg an knee !   I hurt if I move a certain way but I think there is improvement !

.

.

The main Physical Therapy on my Hip and Leg and Knee is I get in the above Tank and they fill it with warm water, in the bottom is a Treadmill and I walk a total of .26 tenths of a mile in the water to help the muscles.   I do a few exercises on a low table with a therapist helping me Strech the muscles in my thigh and knee !

Looking thru some old Negatives I came across this Photo of August, 1974,  I was getting ready to Graduate from the Police Academy,  If you notice I do not have a Badge Pinned on me yet and my right hand is covering up the fact I do not have a Revolver in my empty Holster, these are issued upon receipt of your Certificate issued by New York State at Graduation which was a matter of an Hour away !

Smokey Days

We woke up earlier this week to watery eyes and sore throats and I had a "Wheeze" while breathing.  Our air was thick with acrid smelling smoke and small black/brown particles and had a yellowish tint to it and the sun looked red !

This is a Google Photo of the Fires in Canada about 300 miles from where we are and the Northern Wind has been blowing this smoke down here into New York State and over us !

Downtown Watertown and the Sun was Red at Sunset on this past Monday thru Wednesday !

.

We got a break and the Winds shifted and cleared out our Air !

.

.

I am still having Hip and Leg Issues and going to PT they have a New Aqua therapy Machine where you get in and they fill it with 4 feet of warm water and you walk on a Treadmill for about 30 Minutes,  it really is a work out !!!
