Well, it’s about time to get back to blogging again. Yeah, I am starting to miss writing and sharing my thoughts about whatever on this blog. However, I know is that I won’t be writing everyday and there won’t be any kind of schedule of when I will publish. Those days are in the past,…

It Sure Was Cold

Goodbye 2022 and Good Riddance
In many ways, 2022 has been Groundhog Day version three. Not much has changed, we still don’t go too far from the hill, wear masks when in public, see very little of the rest of humanity in person, and I ignore politics as much as possible. I will say that 2022 has been another year…

Such A Simple Thing

Rehab Day 4 – A Fine Line
I don’t know about you, but I find that weeks 2-4 are the toughest part of rehab, recovery, or whatever you want to call it. Your body is still in full-heal mode as far as it is concerned and it wants to conserve as much energy as possible to accomplish that. While I want to get…

Rehab Day 1 – So It Begins
The big thing today was meeting my new physical therapist over at VA Togus. It was our get-acquainted day, where you flounder through the initial 10-15 minutes while you both are rapidly attempting to figure out if we are a good fit.

Post-op Day 8 – The First Week is Done
