Well it looks like it might be clear enough to see the blood red super wolf moon tonight. Although here it can be clear as a bell one minue and heavily overcast the next.
I'll be doing plenty of moon walking and moon dancing nonetheless.

The leg seems to be doing well. It doesn't throb at all now so I can sit in a chair normally with both feet on the ground. And can wiggle my toes fine. There was a potential risk of nerve damage with the procedure. Have mostly been indoors of course. Playing my ass off on that video game to the point that I'm dreaming about it.

Good idea to start your own diary , I'm doing the same thing except I'm using Microsoft Word. I find it helps to ease my anxiety a bit and also gets worries of my mind. How are you doing? I hope your diary is helping you.

I was in another (now extinct) forum that had a special subsection for diaries and the owner of the diary had mod powers over it. And in the same subsection there was a group diary called Island of Misfits that I co-moded. But this thread is really just random stuff that comes into my head. Or anyone elses.
There's a lot I could say about myself. A lot about my daily struggles with my disabilities. But Ive become more tight-lipped as I've gotten older. Not embarrassed to talk about myself. More like uncomfortable with it.
I'm doing alright. Same as usual. Things are usually pretty static.
I'm looking out the window at two big ships passing each other in the night. I sure would like to get in a time machine and visit the docks back when there were sailing ships. But only for a short time. No internet back then.

So far so good. The real test is when the cast comes off. But I'm sure it will be fine and improve my walking. And be able to walk without pain hopefully. Because I really like going for walks.

Do the exercises prescribed.
Your leg will be atrophied when the cast is removed. It probably will be jittery when you first put weight on it. This is normal, and nothing to worry about.

I'm pretty used to having jittery legs. Have worn leg braces most of my life. I've had PT on them for years. There's really nothing all that new about this. Probably the hardest part will be getting used to it being more aligned and operating a little better.

That would need to be changed to 2013 for me. That's the year it all began. As a matter of fact I made one of the last posts on a forum that went permanently offline. It's been quite a ride on all those different forums. Got to know a lot of people. It's mostly been a positive experience.
