I haven't been exposed, but am on double secret, defcon COVID lockdown! I'm not getting that crap.

The appointment is my six-week post knee replacement with my surgeon. I bailed out of PT a couple weeks ago but have the knee doing pretty well. I can describe full range of motion and take a pic of it to send.

Here's COVID trying to get me.

You might be able to do it with telemedicine too. I just had an appointment like that for the first time. I just didn't want the exposure with omicron so high, even with a N95. It went pretty well.she could check range of Motion, pain, function. I had an area set up with what I need for exercises in front of the computer. She was able to check how I was doing with them, adjust a few, and even add a new one. She demonstrated the new exercise via video and then had me do it with her observing.

I read, napped, did some remote work from home and caught up on a lot of TV shows and movies that my wife had little interest watching together.

The one thing I worried about was losing smell and taste, and thankfully that never came to pass.
