What Is All This White Stuff

 Riverton, Utah       High 62 Low 39

We Made it back to Utah. The weather went from 100 degrees to almost freezing. We had some frost on our lawn one morning. then we woke up to find about 2 inches of the four letter word (snow) on everything. By noon it was all gone. 

I'm not sure which is worse, the cold or too hot. 

We have been busy, especially Cindy, since we've been back. Even though it is too cold to plant her garden, there is a lot of work to get it ready. The first two days we were here, we got three garbage cans full of leaves. We plan on putting in raised planter boxes, hopefully to make it easier to take care of the garden. We haven't got the boxes yet, but they are on order and have got lots of potting soil to mix with good top soil when they get here.

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

Knee Feels Good So Far

 Yuma, Arizona        High 86 Low 58

The weather here has been windy almost every day, with hot weather predicated by the weather guessers. It is supposed to get to 100 by Thursday, so we are planning to go back to the frozen North on Wednesday. So far that looks like our best travel day.

I told about my knee issues on my last post, so I had heard of a procedure from people here in our Park, which is injections, in Los Algodones. I made an appointment for last Tuesday morning. There are two procedures the Doctor does, one uses your blood platelets and reinjects them with a solution, into where ever the pain is, and the other uses glucose with some other meds, which are injected into painful sites. We chose the later, partly because of cost, and the Doctor thought I would be okay with just the meds. 

The examination is he presses on your knee and surrounding areas and he asks if it hurts. If it does he injects the solution. I think I counted about 75 shots before he was finished. Then your are sent to a physical therapist, where she treats you with heat and ultra-sound. 

After it was done, my leg felt a lot better, so well that I decided to drive to San Luis to see our Mexican Dentist to get a broken tooth taken care of. It required a new crown, which was ready the next day.

So far, I haven't had any pain, but time will tell. The procedure and therapy cost $610.00, which seemed a little high for Mexico. but the other people I have talked to, said it lasts a long time.
