Meanwhile....

Somewhere, in all the hiking up and and down and around Waikiki, I realized that my knee is better.

Not *all* better; I still can't quite squat all the way down. But I can walk as far as I want to. I can kneel, at least for a few minutes. I can bend it almost all the way. I'm actually finally starting to feel like I'm living into my own body again, instead of a cheap, semi-functional rental body.

I can walk to the grocery. I can dance, at least a little. I can move again. This makes me happier than anyone could imagine....

And I would be willing to guess that you did the 'right' kind of exercising while there. Mostly leisurely walking and not hurrying to get from point A to point C.

Yay! Very glad it's healing well! (Though I do wonder whether the different environment/weather could have had an effect.)

I found after breaking my wrist, that there was a critical point where I started using it enough to start building the muscle up again to normal levels. I'm not quite sure what came first, the using more or the decision to get on with it, but it felt like a sudden step forward....

Hawawii, one place in the US I have never been to, but it looks pretty.... and I'm jealous

Thank heaven! And I can imagine, a little, how good it feels. Here's hopes and prayers for continued recovery (and your eternal happiness, but that's cheating since I'm hoping for that all the time anyway).
