Sorry it’s been so long. I found this stupid farming game on Face Book… (forgive me, but I am sooooo bored) …well that and dozens of relatives.
I saw the Dr. Wednesday, and he’s happy with my progress. I am recovering nicely and getting my strength back, but I get to be a paper weight for four more weeks, because I’m still not allowed to put any weight on it.
My pretty purple cast
The “gas cap” is for my bone growth stimulator.

Glad you’re healing nicely. I know how tough it is to be “stranded” when you can’t bear weight on it. I once had knee surgery and had to stay off of my knee for three months!
Hopefully it will fly by!

I’d be looking for a long enough rope, if this were going to last 3 months!
I get upset, because of the lack of strength and energy. It never occured to me how much 2 surgeries in 2 weeks time would take out of me.

“Gas cap” — that’s a good one.
Two surgeries in two weeks would take a lot out of anyone, but I know how hard it is to believe, when you feel that depleted, that you’ll ever feel any differently.

LOL That’s what I tell the kids at church, after hearing 2 four-year-olds try to say “stimulator”.
I know it will get better. Just feel like a total wimp. Things don’t usually get me down for very long.

Poor Shawn.
I hope you are not too bored. I get restless real easy. Being sidelined like that would nearly kill me.

It almost has, Stevo, but only a week and a half left and I’ll have my boot and be much more mobile. It will be wonderful to be able to come and go without help.
