The body keeps score. I’m a retired Infantry Officer (light, airborne, mechanized, Joint Special Operations, etc.) and after ducking and dodging I’m on my last phase of repairing my body. First up, the right foot. With a metal plate, two screws and getting the floating and jagged cartilage removed, I’ll be able to walk without pain in my right foot and then - I’m looking at you left foot!
“Hey my right big toe is actually straight!
I will be keeping my foot elevated for 2 weeks and then I’ll hopefully get the stitches out and wear a boot for 4 to 6 weeks - and then figure out when the left foot gets the same treatment. Anyway . . . it didn’t take me long to figure that I can’t paint figures or other hobby activities except sketches for new watercolors. What I have decided is to post some of my favorite entries from the past until I’m back in the painting/gaming saddle.
Speedy recovery Neil, hope you are back at the painting table soon.
ReplyDeleteMe too! As soon as my stitches are out and I have a boot, I won’t have elevate my foot anymore and I’ll be able to sit normally.
DeleteThe body remembers our past, hope you are up and about soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
