Thanks! It was a little discouraging at first because I was so weak and my balance was so bad. It gets better steadily and I am getting stronger and healthier.

For some reason, I have been getting phantom pain off and on for the last three days and nights. I have also had swelling and pain in my foot. Fortunately, I had a review with my team yesterday. There is nothing terribly wrong with my foot at present, so I don't need a cast, which I feared. I could get some narcotics for the phantom pain, but I don't want to do that. I am already taking neurotin. I end up invariobly being awake from around 2:00 a. to 4:00 a. every night and I can't nap during the day because of the damn pain! I am not exercising because of the pain and because I am tired. It seems a little calmer today, so I may be able to do some things tomorrow.
I hate when I get like this because I can't deal with frustrations and I have to be careful not to bite off the heads of people I am dealing with. I am especially trying not to do this to my wife. She is working very hard right now and has a lot of pressure on her. She is not happy with me because she feels like I brought this on us. I don't want to make things worse.

My blood sugar is labile from the sleep and the stress and is tending to crash right now. Blleehhh!

I don't know. My wife thinks I should be doing more. I don't know if she is right or not. Still, I'm just going to keep plugging away.

Are you doing the best you can?

Answer that and you know who's right. You planning on going to the summit next year?

Feeling sorry for myself so I went on a walk. I went up hills and down hills and conquered the driveway which is very steep without my cane for the first time!

When I came in the door, I received a call from a friend who wanted to know if I was interested in interviewing for a sales job. Their thinking, and mine as well, was that it would free me up to establish my own business while earning a pay check. Otherwise, if I take a legal job, it would suck up all of my time and I would never be able to start my own business. Maybe things will turn!

Sounds like good things are happening! Good luck getting the new job! That'd be awesome.

I don't know if I am doing everything I can. How do you know that? I know that I am getting regular exercise, I am eating according to plan, I am trying to sort out the next twenty years of my life. I am afraid that nothing I can do will be enough for her at this stage. However, I am looking forward to moving ahead. Yes, if I can do it financially, I will plan on going to the summit.
