Strength and coordination while driving were fine, it&#8217;s just awkward getting out of the car. So now it&#8217;s working on range-of-motion (so much flexing of the knee) and strength (so many variations of squats). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, it&#8217;s hot as all get out here in the DC area. Currently around 96F\/35C. Which was a perfectly fine temperature when I lived in Taiwan and had acclimated to sub-tropical heat, but not so much now that I&#8217;m stuck in AC all the time and fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My small gubm&#8217;nt agency is getting kicked out of our new (2017) office building in favor of a big gubm&#8217;nt agency that wants to move out of their mid-century brutalist monstrosity downtown. We found out definitively yesterday evening, with the press stuff happening this morning. So far the rumor is that we&#8217;ll be moved to the federal center in Suitland MD, which would be fine by me because it&#8217;s a straight shot down the green line for me &#8211; no more switching trains. But I bet it would lead to a lot more attrition, as both the current and former HQ buildings are in Northern Virginia, and people aren&#8217;t going to want to go to Maryland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In better news, since I can drive we can go get haircuts. And comics. And groceries. Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro-tip: Clip your toenails before you have knee surgery, and not a week afterwards.
