Wed 5 Sept

Was encouraged that I had more energy for my exercise this morning, and in retrospect, I realize my knee didn't hurt. Perhaps I'm on the mend at last. I did need one of the cough pearls last night as the hacking was worse, but it worked very well. We went to Silver Coach with Michael and Grandma for my birthday celebration dinner tonight. We had the patio to ourselves for 90% of the time and had a lovely meal.
