Still need to get a work spot arranged but the card table is OK for a while.

Don't forget, if needed you can pick up something that works better at Ikea and resell it in a few months or give it away. I think they might deliver too- or give me a shout, I"ll grab it & bring it over.

You get in home service? That's the good stuff.

Yes. For three weeks. PT twice a week and a nurse visit once a week for what that is worth.
After three weeks I will be headed back to outside therapy.
 
Nice, well I assume by then they expect you to be mobile enough for such things. So far so good on the progress it seems!
 
I know the therapists said no percussive treatment around the hardware, but everywhere else should be ok. You’re giving a lot of main muscle groups a time out during rehabilitation, so a good pounding is in order.

A second person is great for this, but you can work most of the body solo.
 
"Oh Golly"? Surely this is it, and what was uttered during Bud's tumble. As Dr. William Bell once said (or will someday say, I suppose), "physics is a bitch". I await my congratulations..... :)

More time ✅ 36 days now.

More baby steps noted. Finally can lay on my side for a bit. I am a side sleeper and it felt nice to doze off but the pain makes me move after 10 minutes or so. Hoping to improve there.

Gotten to the point of being able to shower every day and those minutes are sort of treasured as near normal.

Beard is gone and a mustache with tightly trimmed goatee remain.

A lot more time spent on the cane. Slow going and painful but the future lies there so got to work it.

A few people have requested to visit and I have not accepted the requests. My apologies there but doing so puts more work on the Mrs and she already has to do basically everything. I have never been a big fan of visits when I am F’d up anyway and look forward to seeing those friends when I escape this island.

Eat, shower, TV, PT, Work, Eat, PT, nap, work, TV, PT, lay down, Eat, PT, TV ~ Sleep repeat.

Leg is still weirdly swollen, weak and fugly.
 
Your progress is slow but steady. You will get there eventually.
 
Don't forget to throw a pillow between your knees when you lay on your side.
Tip from another OG... ;)
