New adventures in Pain...
by Tony Peters on November 7, 2008
Well my cast was cut off yesterday...I got to take my first long bath without help in 7 weeks...oh did it feel nice. Today I spent to much time walking and needed a vicodine early...which is probably why I had a urinalysis today, I'm certainly gonna pop positive for narcotics this time..not that I care it's prescribed. i finally got in to see my Primary Care Manager doctor, he was happy to see me weight bearing scheduled my physical therapy and told me to go for a swim. Swimming was good but depressing...the day before I broke my ankle I swam a mile and a half (50 laps) and spent 30 minutes treading water holding a 10bs weight over my head...I did 20 minutes with no weight and a whopping 13 laps before I was completely exhausted....heat helps the flexibility but does nothing for the pain...ice kills the pain but causes my already guitar string tight Achilles to tighten so no ice just stretching motrin and painkillers

the next grand adventure..........
as a retired sailor I really thought nothing of deploying and leaving my wife with the cats and dog at home while I went off to fight wars, fix submarines and otherwise earn a living.......now the shoe is on the other foot. I am in school fulltime taking care of the cats, the dog the house and whatever else pops up while my wife and best friend moves to DC to take her dream job. Go »My Suitcase
OK my trip around the Mediterranean sea was pleasant enough, Cyprus would be a great place to visit anytime not in the winter. Less than 20% of the city of Limasol was open, which made doing anything including eating an adventure. Lots of ruins, did anyone know that Cyprus is/was the birthplace of Aphrodite, I didn't. Go »holiday ruined
My Greek Holiday has been ruined...by an Italian holiday instead. I'm going to Sardinia today instead of Crete on Friday...walked Go »thursdays are my life
at least for the next 6 weeks I get to visit the doc every Thursday...today was awesome the PA at my Orthopedist is a genius at casting..the cast/splint I received at the hospital was comfortable for all of two days and then after the swelling dropped it was all angles and uncomfortable...getting Go »I call him Sushi........
My wife and I have a thing for Amberjack......this is my final sculpture (required anyway) for the semester I shot these before I finished welding the rest of the chain on (5-6 hours today) right now he's covered in salt getting rained on in hope of promoting a patina which I can clear coat. The plan is to add numbers and hang him on the front porch in place of the numbers now there...I'll Go »

Aw! I thought it was new adventures in Palin. I am let down... ;)
Good to hear that you are doing better, seemingly. I'm sure it will be no time at all before you're skateboarding downhill at speeds I don't want to think about!! :)
