Today being One Week After, and tomorrow the eighth day (when I can start removing the strips covering the incision and finally take a proper bath, possibly doing both at once), I thought I'd drop a few words here.to show that I'm still up & around. I'm already showing some signs of improvement, what with sensation returning slowly to my toes and the decreasing of that annoying sensation of a thumb being jabbed into my right hip. It's still another week before I can drive, and from that date my rehab program starts in earnest.

But really there are folks in worse condition. Much worse. While awaiting a wheelchair to take me to the patients pickup area, I saw one guy roll past with a cast on his left leg that went all the way up. I was actually able to walk by then but not the great distance required to make my escape. Ah, well...

OK
