Paige was here and put Joan through the exercises to strengthen her legs. Each visit, we add a few more reps. to each exercise. Joan complains about it, but Paige can achieve it. There is more resistance when I try to do it.

Meanwhile, Ukraine.
Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in the early hours of Tuesday, striking warehouse facilities at two locations in the Holosiivskyi district. Falling debris also ignited vehicles in Darnytskyi as air defenses operated over the capital.
Kyiv Post reporters heard an explosion even before air raid alerts sounded in Kyiv, after which the city’s air defense systems responded to the attack in the capital and other regions.
As many as eight explosions were registered across the city within a matter of minutes. Several reports indicate that Russia fired six to eight modified S-400 ballistic missiles at the capital.
