Hiking again with Urs doing a loop in Bôle.

It's my 3-month post-op anniversary. My knees look so great, the scars are barely visible now. From the outside it looks good, but the inside still needs some healing, readjusting, stretching, strenghthening and practicing. This does take time.
Rode our tram to Neuchâtel with Urs and walked back along the lake as it was such a glorious and warm (14 degrees) day. There's barely any snow left up high, so skiing or snowshoeing is kind of strange with that kind of weather.

Here some pictures and a video of my walking.

Hiking with a friend who has been sick with the flu all week. She was up to being outside and felt better and better. Going through the vineyards, some short-cuts and doing a fun loop. It was our French lesson (she is Catalanian) that was canceled today.

Actually, it was hiking on snow as there was not enough snow to put snowshoes on my feet.
Had a lot of fun, doing this on snow again and it gave me an idea how much I could challenge my knees again. Went some distance through the somewhat untracked snow which worked but kind of uncomfortable. Will be staying on tracked routes for the moment. The downhills went much easier which is encouraging. All in all, I realised that I (finally) made a lot of progress :-).

Biking at the fitness center.

Went to the fitness center between dropping the gr'kids off and picking them up again from school.
Did quite a bit of stretching which really felt good on my back bc I could stretch out my hamstring more than normal.
Did the upper body strength machines on my programm and adductors and abductors for legs. Curious whether Ill feel it as I haven't been here since 10 days.

Hiking steeply up through the woods and then more temparate inclination down. Knees were not happy all the time. Through the fog while everywhere else in Swissland the sun was shining with warm temperatures.
