A Third of a Year

Friends, I'm back! I know it has been an eternity in blog years since I last posted anything. It would not surprise me if none of my loyal three readers check for updates anymore. The last month has been a very long and rather arduous one away at trial. In all honesty though, it was … Continue reading A Third of a Year →

An Unexpected Respite

Well friends, I am actually writing this from the couch at home. In light of the multiple dark days in this trial, we got the day off today so I flew home last night. It's a very fleeting visit and I'll be flying back tomorrow morning. Such a short trip isn't exactly restful but I … Continue reading An Unexpected Respite →

The Eve Of Things

Well friends, tomorrow I leave for trial. Most of the rest of the team is already there. I managed to push my arrival as late as possible but I can't delay any longer. There is little that induces more dread and anxiety in me than having to be on a trial team for weeks at … Continue reading The Eve Of Things →

Changes in Strategy

I realized this morning that the nine week mark had passed two days ago without me noticing. A sure sign that life after surgery is inching closer to normal. Moreover, as my regular readers will have noticed, it's been a full five days since my last post. It's not that I have run out of … Continue reading Changes in Strategy →

Two Months

Well, two months and one day actually. Surgery seems like a long time ago but in many ways the time has flown. When I last wrote a monthly recap, I was still non weight bearing and in a boot. Now I'm closing in on a week of walking around in regular shoes. Here is a … Continue reading Two Months →

Not the One I Was Writing

I was writing a post the other day with some positive updates on my progress but then I saw the news about the terrorist attack in Christchurch and it all went out the window. We live in times and I live in a place where mass shootings and terrorist attacks that 20 years ago would … Continue reading Not the One I Was Writing →

Week 8: Literal and Figurative Steps

After feeling like I was in a plateau just a few days ago, the last couple of days have included enormous progress. First, on Monday I had a follow up appointment. The doctor seemed very pleased with my progress which he rather generously attributed to my compliance as a patient. I don't have to go … Continue reading Week 8: Literal and Figurative Steps →

Week 7: Things are Insane

Well friends, I've gone from being swamped with work to truly drowning. This April trial is coming up way too fast and I have way too much work that nobody else can help with. It's all starting to become rather stressful. This is pretty much the nature of my job. I will endure a couple … Continue reading Week 7: Things are Insane →

Week 7: 7 Weeks Already

Seven weeks is a long time. On one hand, it seems like time has gone by super fast. On the other hand, it has been so long since I walked unaided or took a shower standing up that the surgery seems a very long time ago. Today at the pool I got talking to one … Continue reading Week 7: 7 Weeks Already →

Week 6: Physical Therapy at Last

Quick update today because I am getting truly snowed under at work. At long last, I have started physical therapy. After some issues with getting an appointment scheduled, I was not feeling very optimistic about this particular practice. However, I met with the therapist I will be working with for nearly 90 minutes this evening … Continue reading Week 6: Physical Therapy at Last →
