Cyd passed away last night from acute kidney failure.  It was so sudden.  She is missed.

Ortho Follow-up, Stitches Removed

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Today I visited my new Orthopaedic doctor, and he removed my stitches.

After removing my bandage (uncompressed, access to the open-air for the first time in weeks!) his staff took x-ray images. The doctor compared the new versus previous x-ray images and said that the leg appears to be healing fine. Unfortunately he also said that I need to remain home-bound for now. :(

My hope is that after a few weeks of physical therapy, and a transition to lower levels of pain killers, I might start working from home part-time. But this will depend on how things go over the next few weeks–my doctor doesn’t want me to take on the stress for at least the next two weeks. Please cross your fingers for me in the meantime.

After Surgery

I don’t remember this, because I was pretty doped-up… But I think this photo captures the way I’ve felt for the past couple weeks. :(

This Is The Beach Where I Broke My Knee

I took this photo a couple hours before my swing-jump leg-break.

After shooting this, we went to dinner at a nearby restaurant. But the beach was so nice that we came back, and found the playground… *sigh*
