Scenic fought the ice and the ice won.

Sorry for not being on.  I'm hanging in there.  As mentioned this sitting around stuff is driving me nuts.  Even nutty enough to make me think about that contraption...and try it out too. 

Had my first week post op today.  Actually got to see the leg.  Stiches, staples, pins, rods and plates.  Worst part is this sit around with my leg propped up.   I got way to much to do for this.   

Another week and can move to a chair and let my leg down a bit at a time.  With these happy drugs I sure could give that Iowa boat a classic paint scheme!!

Tough to po op on happy drugs..

You be careful Scenic.  It will get better.  Don't push it.  Get a good book to read.  Or 10 of them.  LOL

I'm trying!!  Spent more time in the house this week than in the last year.   Have not got to the point of watching soaps or eating Bon Bons yet....yet.  This afternoon nap thing is pretty ok though.    Thankfully we have streaming TV because this cable is just garbage.

I spent a lot of time on YouTube when I was recovering.

Hey Scenic! how about an update??
I heard they took enough staples out of him he can build a log chain now.
The ski chair was taken away from him, the rockets I installed on the back kept setting the snack isle on fire, I told him and I told him to not use full boost when inside of a store.

well just maybe when he gets that log chain made from those staples.......he could attach it to the chair as not to disrupt the snack isle!!!

That plan is shot if we can't have snacks.   This down time has made me look at a few planes.  I have rebuilt cars, trucks and boats.  Never restored a bird.  Nice piper on Market place.  Kid says...NO.  topic wasn't even open for discussion!!!  Out of price range anyway.

So yesterday they removed 77 staples and I don't know how many stitches.  I'll tell you I would rather have staples pulled than them damn stitches.  Then to x-ray we went.  Twist and turn this way and that.... rods and plates are seated.   Was told no pressure on leg for another 5-6 weeks.  Then i might be able to start putting pressure on it.

The good news is I can start to put it down.  I might start that tomorrow a bit.  Today was not a comfort day.
