Thank you Warren, this will be a process, the next 5 weeks will be very slow, but I am trying to change my script. Not watching TV much, bought a kindle because i have been burning through books and reading quite a bit. Looking for a short vaca in late April to make up some time with my wife And the missed celebratioons.

Hi all. Update from todays doctor visit, got the stitches out and a new fiberglass cast today. The x-rays looked good and all is on track. 4 weeks in the cast with no weight bearing, then 2 weeks in a walking boot, then hopefully I can walk without assistance soon there after. Feels like a lifetime, but I bought a Kindle and have been working that over.

Great news! Stay on track, you're getting through it. Thanks for keeping us updated.

At least the surgery is finally in the rearview mirror!!
Time to heal---Be careful you don't agitate it!!!
Wife will come in handy!
Those 28 days I was in the hospital, Mrs Bear was in my room every day, from 9 AM to 5 PM. Then Bear Jr would take her place at 5PM, and stay until they threw him out. I hate being alone!!

Hang in there!!

Bear

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. If you need any music, tell me what you like and I will send a link you can stream from with some things you have never heard before. Will help pass the time.

 

[Winterrider]

Glad to hear your on recovery road. Be kind to the wife, things can get a bit stressful at times.

 

[Fueling Around]

Great news on the checkup.
When do you think it will be knee scooter ready for some mobility?

So glad you’re on the mend! I’m sure you are covered, but if you’d like some book recommendations I have a pretty long list of good ones, covering a wide spectrum of topics, that I’d be happy to share!

 

[OldSmoke]

Glad you are mending. I go in April 19th. Down for two weeks then six to recover. Somebody will need to tie me to the bed.

 

[pineywoods]

Glad your making progress on the road to recovery just take it easy till your told you can do more. Crutches or walker? After my low tib fib break and rods and screws they made me use the walker said it was safer and it might have been it sure was slower

 

[sandyut]

Thank you for all the support, kind words, and offers. It really helps get through stuff like this.

Be kind to the wife, things can get a bit stressful at times.

Wise words. This is hard on her. Ive done it for her twice so I know its a lot to manage meals, dogs, cleaning, caring for the disabled etc. I usually do a lot around the house, so she’s got that and then me. It’s easy for me to get snarky when I’m down, so far been doing pretty good, but I could do better.

Yesterday was the first time I could sit up at a table for any length of time, and it felt OK. I made reservations at a favorite sushi place for next week and didn’t tell her-its gonna be a surprise. I’m gonna brainstorm some other surprises too.
