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

down 40
I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 195....I have run out of holes on my belt and none of my shorts fit... for the most part this is because I ride this bike 5-6 days a week and I'm eating healthy. Go »awaiting surgery
I went into work yesterday...getting through the security turnstile that has replace the front doors of my building was more effort than I was expecting. The Elevator was not restful and when I finally did get to my office someone stole my heater (my office is so cold in the spring/summer/fall that an electric heater is required or icicles form from your breath (this isn't a joke). Go »more liquid metal
My sculpture Professor decided that the burner we use for melting metal wasn't working out well, since it was designed for a forge and not a furnace he had a furnace burner made.....it used to take hours to melt 20lb of bronze, it took us 40 minutes yesterday. I have never seen the crucible as hot as it was. Go »I am not your baby sitter
Rant....I'm still pissed about this because my hip is sore...as some of you know I still skateboard at the age of 41. Go »Mornings....
It's cool today. As I pull on my jacket, the leather creaks as the zipper closes. The engine, a bit reluctant to turn over in the brisk morning air, settles into a rumble as I finish donning my gear. 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!! :)
