Ever notice they look a lot like a gator when they grin :D.

I can't take opiods, well I can take one and then I remember I can't take opiods. The brick stuck in my belly is way worse than doc hitting me with a hammer. If you aren't backing up take the meds.

On that nerve block, when they did the last one my arm was out, I looked down at some point and I had bent my fingers basswards on something. There is certainly a disconnected out of body kind of thing going on. "Man that's really gonna suck when this nerve block wears off :D.

I tell the pt's they better be able to move when I get better ;D

The PT made his visit this morning.  Actually I was a bit apprehensive because after this past weekend, I was only able to bend the knee 90° yesterday.  Guess that I did not do my homework well enough but it's kinda tough to do stuff that hurts.

Anyway, he put me through the paces and had me at 100° when the session was over.  He said that I was OK, but he did lay out a bunch of homework exercises for me to do.  I was also able to take a few steps without any support from the walker which I could not do yesterday.



 
This is not me and I am not making fun of the guy, but it does go to show what some folks go through just to get around.

Could be that he picked it up for someone too and it's his only transportation. Many years back I used to bring home two bales of hay at a time for a heifer on the back of a motorcycle just like that.

I hated and loved PT. I disliked the pain but liked the results. 

It's always a celebration when the walker gets retired and put away. It means good things are happening.

Actually SS, the guy and walker are both real.  His nickname is "shaky" and he has some kinda progressive degenerative muscular disease.  When I took the picture I thought that it was funny, but a Grandson clued me in.  The guy is just making the best of what he has.  smiley_thumbsup

Lynn,

So glad to hear you are doing well and making the best of it. Keep up the good progress. With a little luck you will have weaned off the pain meds before Jeff arrives there (approximately mid February) with the 8N and wants to negotiate terms! :D :D :D

My PT will be here at 8:30 so I will see if I made any progress yesterday.  I realize that this will be a journey and I should not be counting steps, but what else to do when I'm just sitting here?

Marty and Ben tried to get all of the good stuff out of the Kubota yesterday so we are trying to keep the upgrade trade more even.  Da Boss's weaken state after driving through that much glaciated and uncharted territory should give me a negotiating advantage.  ;D

A Chevy engine in a Ford?  That would only blow your lug nuts off!!!  ::)

The PT made his visit this morning.  Some gain and some (much) pain because he is pushing stuff that don't want to get pushed.  :-\  My assignment is to really concentrate on on my homework stretches.



 
He also took the original bandage off and re-dressed the incision.  No staples nor stitches so I guess that it was glued.

I am now allowed to use a walking stick some each day.

   I guess if walking is going to be part of your therapy you will have to take that old boo-ray seat off the mill and start trekking.

  Glad to see the progress you are making. Happy Turkey Day. My customer from yesterday is going with his wife and BIL today to pick up her sister who just had a new knee installed up at WVU hospital in Morgantown so I have to finish his order alone. I see the sun peeping out so I better get back too it. Be careful and don't have a relapse. Now about that shoulder....

When I was actively working in EMS I used to tell my male trauma patients that 'chicks dig scars'. If that actually is true then MM must need a stick to beat all the women off. Probably why he is practicing with that walking stick. ;D ;D :D

Peddling this upside down bicycle that doesn't go anywhere reminded me of this long ago song that didn't go much of anywhere either.  Just a fun ditty.

Wow that incision looks great.  I wonder if your surgeon is a wood worker too?  Maybe he used some of his Titebond II on it. ;D
