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

one of our cats, Sketch was diagnosed with CHF (congestive heart failure) on Friday we spent the weekend at the the animal hospital before bringing her home late sunday night. Her Condition has been mixxed since though we hope for the best. Her heart seems to be OK and her lungs are free of fluid but she got severely dehydrated which has really messed up her digestive track. Go »vacation and such
well my father, brother and I set out last thursday for Ithaca NY, my father and I on our motorcycles and my brother in his LandCruiser pulling a trailer/tent. The goal was to get from Rhode Island to Ithaca for a family reunion and back by using only back roads. We succeeded and we plenty of adventures to boot...my Go »Have Passport will travel
I wasn't halfway through my first cup of coffee this morning when my boss walked in and said "do you want to go to Crete for a week?" Duh!!! like i would turn down a trip to greece...the Go »problems within problems
I read Daily Beast for mush of my news because I like the tone and because there aren't many conservatives left who don't deal exclusively in hate (Hannity Rush etc) I actually used to consider myself a conservative but I can't reconcile their embrace of ignorance nor their dismissal of a changing word. Anyway Meghan McCain wrote an interesting piece on the old guard's disregard for the internet 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!! :)
