The hospital in Front Royal has moved to a new building on Leach Run
Parkway, and our doctors' office has moved there also. I had occasion to go
there last week after injuring my knee.
The black and white picture shows a corridor in the hospital. It's a nice building situated on a hill.
Family Practice is upstairs. Note the sky and the distant mountains.
The doctor advised physical therapy for my knee so I have started that. There I learned that my knees are strong but I need to strengthen my hip muscles along with my ankles. The therapist said to stop doing the exercises I've been doing and do other ones because I've overworked my lower back.

Frank has his share of health needs also. On Monday he had a cataract removed at Winchester Medical Center. I had to wait outside due to pandemic rules. I waited on a bench until the temperature got uncomfortably hot and I retreated to the car.
I took some cell phone pictures while I waited.
Speaking of the pandemic, variants of the virus are in the news. I hope they do not get a foothold here. Over half of Virginians have been vaccinated against Covid-19, so that offers considerable protection but science does not yet know how much. Please continue to avoid crowds even if you are vaccinated.
Since I am showing Winchester scenes, I'll close with two more. I don't know what the shrub with berries is. The hanging basket holds petunias.
That's a pretty roof showing the sky. The medical center building is quite attractive itself. Oregon is over 70% vaccinated, but my county is lower. Too many virus denies here. Your plant is a Oregon Grape, my state flower! There are several kinds.
ReplyDelete...health is a huge issue, take care.
ReplyDeleteHospital corridors tend to look much the same whether they are new or old! Good lighting.
ReplyDeleteEfeitos destes tempos de pandemia.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

The continued resistance to vaccination is a puzzle to me. Sadly, there is a price to be paid for this.
ReplyDeleteI go to the place too often with my son, hate seeing the place. Looks a nice building you have there
ReplyDeleteThe "berries" look like purple grapes!
ReplyDeleteSending best wishes for healthy and strong knees, hips, ankles, and eyes that have had cataracts removed.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteIn general, NC has over 50% vaccinated, but several neighboring counties have much lower rates. Stupid! Take care of those muscles and joints so you can keep moving - hopefully comfortably!
ReplyDeleteI hope your knees is feeling better and your hubby is recovering well from the cataract surgery! Pretty view of the sky and berries. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your street lamp by the trees, or large bushes, has my vote any day, you made it sooo pretty a picture.
ReplyDeletePlease mind the doctors and heal and strengthen those knees. Mrs. Jim and I are in your family's club, I've broken both kneecaps and had cataract surgery on both eyes. The latter in your Club because Mrs. Jim had to drive me home but they made her stay outside in the cold, very cold this year for us in the Gulf Coast area.
Thanks for peeking in and for leaving your nice comment. I hope you come back.
..
May all go well for you both. Enjoy your weekend and life!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery. That's a very pretty shot of the wild grape plant (or whatever it is!).
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a speedy recovery. Interesting set of photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope the therapy works and you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your knee feels better soon and the therapy works well.
ReplyDeleteGood wishes for your husband too as he recovers from cataract surgery
I particularly like your last two photographs.
All the best Jan
My best wishes for your and family's Good health . The berries looks drool worthy. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeleteinteresting, but you seem to been given some good advice. In Sweden we have a saying. To much and too little spoils it all. I hope your hip and ancles get improwed soon.
