Tough Duty
Well, getting better at walking, and can take several (10+) unaided steps before I start using one crutch again. If it were'nt for that stupid numbness... it is getting better, but not very fast. Surgery was one week ago today.
Here's a shot of me, well, uh, reading about database normalization. Tough day at the office, I know. Getting into the hammock wasn't too bad, but getting out I had to have the security guard help me. Now I know how a trout in a net feels. Pretty stylish socks, huh? Stupid TEDs - need to wear them to prevent blood clots for the next... month. Oh well, no wonder everybody stares at me, "That guy trying to start a fashion trend? Well it ain't workin'."
The folks here at the resort are wonderful, catering to my every need. Maybe that's one thing the TEDs are good for, who couldn't feel sorry fo a guy walking around in them? Just finished lunch, which like every meal, is a buffet. Of course they carry my plate for me. And start at the first bowl. And put in some rice. Then open the next. And the next. And Next. I think you get the idea. The stop at everything in the buffet and put some on for me. Talk about overeating, no need for inbetween meal snacks! But since I quit taking the painkillers they gave me, I'm feeling much better. Right now I'm only taking an iron suppliment, an aspirin they gave me, and my malaria pill. I can feel my body empty the drugs each day, and am feeling better because of it.
Back to a little more reading, but need to rest up for dinner...

So far so good for you! Be careful you will be huge when you get back. The stocking does look nice on you. Seems that we have both worm worse. We're off to the zoo for Aaron's B day. He wants to have cake with the lions.....

Rus, bring some of those socks back for me, I'm going to race in them this season. And keep eating. My goal this year is to get within 5 minutes of you on lookout, so don't be shy at the ole buffet line. T Roan
