Still ahead of schedule
I guess it’s about time for an update. Repairs completed 2 weeks and 1 day ago. Had my 2 week checkup today and the doc continues to be overjoyed with my progress. Says I can lose the crutches any time. … Continue reading
Storm before the calm?
I think I turned a corner last night. I was having too much pain, too much swelling, and too much feeling generally crappy. I popped a Vicodin, put on the cold wrap, and laid back for a couple of hours. These … Continue reading
Small step back

Nothing ever turns out how you imagine
Tomorrow I go into the shop for repairs. Snip here. Poke there. And I’ll be all fixed up. That is except for the aforementioned pain and suffering of rehab. I’m not nervous or scared and I don’t mind people asking … Continue reading
Live like you’re __!!
If you knew that you had the full use of your left leg for only two more days, what would you do? I thought about that on my way to work today. What will it be? Long walk? Butt kicking … Continue reading
Friday… Saturday… Sunday… D-Day
It’s coming. The day is coming. My knee is hurting a little and it almost buckled again today. As if to remind me that I must have this surgery and I am not just doing it for fun. Someone asked … Continue reading
