So here we go- second knee replacement was a doddle, and I feel no pain and can bend to 130degree no problem. The other one, injured so badly now nearly 49 years ago - will always be 'not mine' - no pain as such, but feels weird, and I have to work with it constantly to keep it bending- do exercises every day- and it is at about 120- which will have to do.
Can't wait to get back on my skis after we return from festivities with DDs and GCs in UK. We are now fair weather skiers- so will only go when it is sunny with beautiful, soft fluffy snow and NO ICE. Fortunately we have 3 local small resorts very close- our favourite being in France, Métabief Mt d'Or. For cross country skiing, we have miles and miles of marked pistes- and we tend to go to those with fabulous views of the Swiss plain and all the Alps. As said, the best views of the Alps are from the Jura.
Depending on where you are coming to ski in France or French speaking Switzerland - always happy to join for the day. If conditions are great, we drive to the Portes du Soleil, or Villars, Leysins, Verbier, Les Marécottes, etc - for the day or an overnight.
In the past, skiing was always our main family holiday, and we have skied all over Europe and several times in Colorado, as we have friends there.
Soops kitchen, a place of reflection, refuge and at times revelry.
Are you in your forever house?
