Keeping positive thoughts for you.

Thanks Nancy! How is your daughter doing?

Last night I went to the range with a few things I had bought this year, but never shot. I had shot a 10mm before, but forgotten how violent it is. Especially in a sub compact. (G29SF) Also shot my pistol carbine, had a few FTE issues with it towards the end. Something I'll have to tweak once I am healed up. My shoulder is actually sore from that little carbine after 100 rounds. It still kicks pretty hard despite being a pistol round. (.45 ACP)

Tomorrow night, if the weather plays along... going to the track. I will race my truck for a "fix."

It's like I have a "bucket list." Things to do before surgery.

Well, no track for me Saturday. I just wasn't feeling it, went to a local cruise night instead.

:banana: Great news though, FedEx showed up today with checks! :banana:

Finally can stop living off my savings! HUGE relief!

Glad to hear you finally got paid .

That is great news. I am so happy for you !

Thanks for asking about my daughter Lauren. Well according to the Physical Therapist, Lauren needed this machine that would cost us $300 a month to stretch her knee as she slept. But according to the Doctor, that was a waste of money. Lauren just needed to do more walking and stretching exercises. This info was all about a month ago.

Fast forward to last week. School started. No busses in our school district. Lauren has a little over a mile walk to school. So I think she is getting her daily exercise of her knee. She may not be happy about it, and she is tired when she gets home. But she plopped her behind on the couch most of the summer, even though I told her she needed to get out and walk and get ready for school. Well now she regrets not walking, but she said it is getting easier.

Well, I am 8 days into this - post surgery. They removed the splint and put my arm in a cast to restrict movement. I'll be stuck in this thing for two weeks. Then, therapy starts... I'm ready for that next leap. But, dreading it at the same time.

Is it almost January?

Well now you can finally start moving forward. It'll take some time but at least you're not at a standstill any longer, good luck.

They took the cast off today, now have a small brace. Also started therapy this afternoon. Was told strengthening will start 10 weeks post op, so that means about six weeks from now. Might be able to return to work right before Christmas.

Congrats on getting the cast off , get that therapy going and dont look back ,you will be good as new soon.

Another week of therapy down. It's not going as well as I had hoped. The flexibility and elasticity isn't where it needs to be. It's very painful, and I feel I have a fairly high index for pain. I have a doctors appointment on the 29th, hoping by then my condition will have improved.
