Tried to snake it with a "kitchen" 25 foot snake.

.. I'm not sure it did anything. The blot is still there.

Well once trust in the team is built, you can really say whatever you want. In other words, candor comes after trust and candor does not mean toxic workplace. Candor and psychological safety go hand in hand actually.

how are you, buddy? How's the knee coming along?

Doing Ok. The knee hurts a bit, but not too bad now. Have a follow-up appointment tomorrow, where I’ll get stitches out and perhaps get cleared to begin putting a little weight on it. Doing exercises has been pretty easy; the hard part has been to not over-do anything. This repair would be easy to wreck until the healing really gets underway and with cartilage, that takes a while. While there might be sensible limits once healed, I should be able to do anything I would normally do, without worrying the thing will lock.

I tried to time this so I’d have a fighting chance to ski or ice climb this winter. We’ll see how that goes.

have you modified your diet at all to account for this healing? or are you still a sardine snacking man?

I’m eating lightly, but emphasizing protein and veggies. Sadnines now and then, as they’re a quick snack and very bioavailable. Eggs, cottage cheese, fruit, etc. Since the surgery, I’ve lost almost ten pounds. Trying to ride the catabolic wave, but eat enough protein that my body won’t break down its own muscle for the amino acids it needs to heal. So far, I think it’s working. The combination of fixing the knee while getting lighter is good.

That all sounds positive and I like that for you.
 
I believe sardines are a very nutritious. Unfortunately, can't get past the smell.
 
I was working today, at lunch break time this dude whipped out a newspaper, a can of sardines and an Estrella Galicia beer can, 0.0 %

And when I said ,nice beer, good that it says ,0.,0 on it, he said yeah I'm an alcoholic.

:x : |

...

I didn't really believe him, so I said really ?...... Anyway I left soon afterwards
 
I just wanna say, whoever decided how to structure CA sales tax is a sadist.

Is the ice climbing by choice or are you just a really bad skier ?

Uhhhhhhhhhh, wut?

Why is there a 40 minute line of traffic to get into the airport?

It’s by choice and every now and then, I get to combine the two. About 15 years ago, I was planning to ski a 2,500’ couloir in the eastern Sierra. The day before, I was scoping the route out with binoculars and found blue water ice in a pinch point 1,500’ up. I packed ice tools and crampons and when I got to the ice the next day, found a 40’ frozen waterfall, formed from avalanche debris that had been freezing and thawing for a couple of weeks. Put on the crampons and tools, climbed the ice and summited the couloir. After a rest and a snack, I put on my teles, skied down to the waterfall, switched to crampons, down climbed the ice, switched back to skis and finished the route. Pretty great day.
