Well, the last few days have been rather exhausting. I had a short but tightly packed trip to South Florida then today spent the entire day going to and from Gainesville. It was all worthwhile from a work perspective but I'm definitely feeling a bit worn out right now. I'm ready for a quiet day … Continue reading Week 6 is Busy

40 Days
I was shocked to discover only a few years ago that Lent in fact does not consist of 40 days. Worse, I came by this knowledge by trying to correct someone who knew better than I did. Clearly 46 days doesn't have quite the same ring to it. In any case, Day 40 has been … Continue reading 40 Days
Day 39: Milestones Past
I made it out to spectate at the Gasparilla Half Marathon this morning and came back unscathed both physically and emotionally. Once again, I wished the the knee scooter was the correct size for me and was the all terrain version with more rugged wheels to absorb the bumps but I made it in one … Continue reading Day 39: Milestones Past
Multisport Saturday
Things really have changed for the better this last week in terms of Stuff I Can Do. Being able to ride my bike has seriously improved my quality of life. I increased my ride time by ten minutes again this morning and upped the intensity a little. It feels so good to be engaging my … Continue reading Multisport Saturday
Day 36: Swim, Bike, and Get Annoyed
I've had a couple of quiet days working from home. I have a monster amount of materials to read for the case which has the trial in April and I'm actually managing to be fairly productive. Things are looking up on the return to sports activity front. Yesterday at the pool I experimented with switching … Continue reading Day 36: Swim, Bike, and Get Annoyed
Day 34: Still All Good
This morning's good news was that I woke up with no ill effects from my short spin on the bike yesterday. Tomorrow I will ride again for a bit longer. Today's workout once again was core and upper body weights. I had a lunch with at one of my favorite lunch spots with a new … Continue reading Day 34: Still All Good
Day 33: Moving On Up Like a Tortoise
So, the headline of today's appointment is that I am going to be doing a lot more things very soon. I had x-rays taken again and everything is looking good. Even though I still have a little swelling around the heel (totally normal at this point), it already looks more like a normal heel compared … Continue reading Day 33: Moving On Up Like a Tortoise
It’s Been a Month
Today is exactly one month since my surgery. For the new or only occasional readers of this blog, here is a quick recap of where I am at in terms of recovery. I got out of a cast and into a boot right before three weeks. Just after three weeks, I was allowed to get … Continue reading It’s Been a Month
Day 30: Quiet Friday
Somehow with all my focus on getting through my Miami trip, I totally forgot that yesterday was my original surgery date! I was scheduled to be on a trial team in January but when the case settled in November, I immediately moved up the surgery to January. While the last month has gone by fairly … Continue reading Day 30: Quiet Friday
Day 29: The Kindness of Strangers
Well, friends, I am back from my Miami trip. Ultimately, it was largely successful and uneventful but I definitely learned how challenging travel can be when you have mobility issues. Being non weight bearing generally makes most activities take two to three times more effort. When it comes to travel, it's more like five times … Continue reading Day 29: The Kindness of Strangers
