Going Long and Hard.

Rose moved in first, everyone knows that!!

Calling your buff, Dorothy's mom, Sophia, moves in after her nursing home burns down.

Amateur.

Rose first. Then Dorothy. Dorothy and Rose flip coins for rooms. Rose chooses tails and wins. Then Sophia moved in because Dorothy lived there. In the Pilot the 3 girls already live there and Sophia is the 4th.

First Day Alone. Well, with a 20YO in the house, which is basically the same thing. Managed to get to the Kitchen for drinks and back without too much strain. My wife set up a shelf next to me with snacks.

is that a trolling motor?

sucks man....glad you at least got your trip in...when I shattered my ankle it was like 2 weeks before a trip I was looking forward to for 8 months.

Whats the deal with being weight bearing? im guessing if you are using a walker, you can put weight on it as tolerated?

 

[Steve Vai]

I can’t support my weight without the walker. I mean on the bad leg at least.

well this is good.....you should probably have minimal muscle loss during the healing....Like I was zero weight bearing for 4 months...my leg looked like a toothpick after....THAT was the hard thing to fix...so you know...looking on the bright side and shit 🙂

I’ve been doing leg extensions on the couch, and bridges before/after sleep, and calf raises while sitting, and hobbling around with the walker to sort of lift my leg. My hip flexor doesn’t work.

Unfortunately no one at the hospital could sign off on my PT and I have to go see a GP and have them sign off? I don’t remember that being the case last time I used PT or when my kid broke his leg a couple years back. Doesn’t matter to us because we have the good teacher insurance at the moment. (insert political comment about an orange fucktard trying to take that away)

 

[Norm]

Better get that insurance stuff taken care of because I think Orange Jesus is going to abolish schools in a few minutes.

 

[Steve Vai]

The good thing is you can literally Google the PT Exercises, and no surgery makes this a relatively cheap ER Visit. But yes, being I’m not going to Europe we’re paying these the second they hit just in case Elon and his 1st lady Cheeto Supreme get any ideas.

Not sure, but my Karoo has been racking up the miles in my wife’s trunk.

You are pretty bad ass. Somehow, I think you will heal fast. The human body is an incredible thing.

 

[Hair Face]

Sounds like you took a pretty wicked hit. Heal up man! And bummer that you're going to miss the Dream Theater concert, maybe try going in a wheelchair?

 

[trailhead]

sorry for your accident Jim
With the successful ITI you can now literally "sit on your laurels"

Went through a follow-up shit fest today. Called the Ortho on the release paperwork and his outside business is just for kids. So I called the hospital to see if I could book an appointment with home at the hospital, which you can’t do. Ended up just booking the ortho that’s done all of my other broken bones although I would have done so sooner because it’s in like 2 weeks. I can’t feel anything clicking around so hopefully it’s fine.

Made 2 trips to the kitchen and could also slide my foot towards my butt while laying down so my hip flexors are starting to fire.

I might get one of those cheesy under desk pedal things to move my legs more.

No priority appointments as a frequent flier? Glad it’s looking good on the movement side of things.

Your days of banging Moms may be over.
