Thanks for the tips, fellas, I thought that you guys would be the ones to give good advice. I have an old welders blanket and I will use it after I hit the temps. Today it is sunny and 63, real nice weather. As I am getting stronger, I am getting more confident. So, I am now thinking of putting ribs on the wood smoker this week.
I am still on the cane, but my left leg is getting stronger. I am walking on the stairs daily, very carefully, but it is good muscle exercise. I took a nice walk today, my longest. I hope that I can walk without the cane in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for your input.
