And An Update From Lee

I've been busy as hell at work, lately, and busy on the home front too. We're getting ready for a trip out to St. Louis to spend a three-day weekend with Joe and Joyce for Father's Day, and are excited to have next Monday off as a vacation day.

Janice has been working like crazy, and A*tna continues to get a real bargain for their money.

I have also been working hard with the Physical Therapy, and have gone two days at work and at home "fully ambulatory" - no cane or crutch. It's time to push forward, since my next immediate goal is yard work (including running the zero-radius mower) this weekend.

I still have a lot of pain in the ankle, but I'm gritting my teeth and bearing it.

The pain seems to be related to two things. (1) The three ligaments shown below are now getting a hell of a workout;




and (2) The talus bone (see below) seems to like to slip a little bit.



The physical therapists have some good routines to work on that ... one of the routines hurt like hell the first day they worked on the talus, since then it has seemed a little better each time they have performed it. So that seems to be progress.

Well, I have to get moving here, since my hot-soak time is about up and I need to grab a shower before my 8:20 appointment with the good Dr. Rubano. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to see the orthopedist. And hopefully means "forever hopefully". LOL

Love to you all.
