    Going to watch this every day this week - to keep motivated to do my exercises for full knee replacement - so I can hike again. I really appreciate these videos.

      Did you already have the knee replacement, or are you doing exercises to prepare for it? I might need to get one done soon -- just not sure when it becomes medically necessary to have Medicare pay for it.

      @@lindaselover2536 Prep for surgery. Medicare might want you to have tried Physical Therapy, shots, - you can probably google to find out. I am in a lot of pain - bone on bone - using a cane and have had 3 doctors say it is time. Surgery has been approved.

      We meet many hikers on the trail who've had successful knee replacements so it does work. Best wishes to you.

    Enjoy yourself in Salida. Was there about 12 years ago. Fell in love with the town. Wife and I are making plans now for a move to Colorado. Salida was on our short list, till this past June. Have been out there past two summers, Salida has really changed. Hard to describe, but way to liberal, in an angry kind of way. Making the move in Spring 2021. Still love Salida and will be there for a week or two to reevaluate weather we can spend our golden years there.
    Love the vids and you gals stay safe.
