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

since I restarted school music has become a more dominant part of my daily activities. I have used up/worn out a number of pairs of headphones finally inventing in a set of Grado's and a CMoy amp so I can tune out the world while I am in the studio. my taste in music has changed significantly in the last 2 years......while Go »I guess healing requires sleep
I am exhausted...10 hours of sleep each night broken only twice for meds and yet I feel the need to sleep all day....I can barely stay awake for 2-3 hours before I fall asleep in my chair. 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.

After last semester's overdose in writing I have been enjoying not having to write at all this semester. Well that and most of my school time is spent in an Art studio....it is mentally challenging, for the first time in years I'm drawing...it's 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!! :)
