Posted in Bionic Bubbe Miracle knee

I love Show and tell Friday with Canadagirl. First because I love her and second because I love you. Third is well, it gives be focus and I look at my whole week and consider what I need to share. If you would like friends and focus, come by Canada Girl's blog and play with us. We are a lot of fun and we share so we are good examples as well. hee hee!

So today I will share two things. The first part will be the Tell because the tell is so very awesome. Wednesday I went to the orthopedist to have my knee checked. It was my six week check up. He had the report from my Physical Therapy people (hee hee I have People!) and made me bend my knee and watched me walk in my walker.

The first thing he told me is I am bending my knee normally. (My goal was 123 degrees because the info on my knee said it would bend 125 degrees and I didn't want to over due ( hee hee) my last measureent was 128 degrees Woo Hoo!!!!) He was very impressed!

The next thing he did was tell me I didn't need my walker any more and could begin using my cane! Yippee!!!! I painted my cane Magenta with spring-ish/summer-ish stickers! I am stylin'!

Then he said I could go to water aerobics, camping and get in the Hot tub!

And the last thing he said was" I have never released a patient this early before, but there is no reason for you to come back so I will see you in November!!!!!"  And that my friends is all your doing! It is your prayers and our amazing God that has done this miraculous thing!

So that is my Tell... The Show happened as we drove down to Oroville. That meant we would have to drive by some of where the fire had taken place. This would be our first look at the damage and at the amazing work of the firefighters.

This is a picture of contrasts. The foreground shows the sagebrush and undergrowth, the backgroung, the charred earth.

The Landscape is rolling hills,horseland on the way to Oroville. Walnut Trees and Live Oaks are the norm down here, not the pines at the top of the hill.

I don't know if you can see it in this photo, but the light tan spot in the left hand corner has a home there.

And lastly, the road on the left leads to the  Jr. College. The fire did not get to any of the buildings because the college had a very wide firebreak around the perimeter. And because the fire fighters on land and in the air were amazing.

Both parts of this Show and Tell are a praise! The Buildings lost were so minimal and my therapy has been so amazing. Both are because of your prayers and our God.

And since I know how amazing you are, I am also going to add a link on this to a blog friend named Misty. Some of you know her. If you do, you know her son, Bo went on a TMI mission last year to Brazil. Well, God has an amazing hold on this young man and he feels called to return to Brazil  THIS WEEK END!

Now I know where God guides God provide and so does Bo. I am told there is an electronic link now so you can send a few dollors instantly to TMI-ers accounts ( my how times have changed) so if you want to be part of a weekend miracle head over to Misty's blog Leaving a Legacy and see how you can help out! ESPECIALLY if you are a Former TMI-er!!!!!!
