That looks like it could be as brutal as you want it to be.

For rehab, and a lot less expense, they make a tabletop version ...

A friend had a small foot version with adjustable resistance. He loaned it to me and I've been using it on and off today.

My arms feel tired and swole.

My PT said I only have a tiny hole left in my foot.

More arm biking today.

I have also been using the arm bike all day. I can only really do five minutes at a time with any real resistance but am trying to reduce the rest intervals.

I'm at loose ends. I would like to volunteer or something but I'm supposed to stay put until my wound totally closes.

I would look for a job, but if/when my start date comes, if I am doing lower paying gov't work I will have to start at only 15% over that rate.

My mobility interferes with taking free lance legal work.

Rear Window has already been written so I can't write a novel about living with your ass in a recliner without getting sued.

I live in interesting times.

The good news is that I start my new job on October 27. I will be on four months probation. I won't be able to do the other things I need to do, finish my divorce and get my ankle rebuilt, until I finish probation. At least I know how long I have to make my budget for.

Bad news is that I popped a blood vessel in my right eye. My vision is greatly impaired in the eye as a result. I will need laser surgery, but I can't see the surgeon until November 21.
Still I need the surgery to correct the problem and to keep it from getting worse or irrepairable.
I didn't know that detached retinas run in my family. This is not a detached retina but apparently is in the same category.

The wound in my ankle is almost healed.

[RobLL]

ouch. not good news on the eyes.

[Bytsi]

Sorry about the eye - but YAY on the new job and a real start date!

[DanceDiva]

Interesting times is an understatement. I'd be telling Job he could have his trials back. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[gregl515]

Strangely enough I was thinking about Job today.

[Karen411]

I'm sorry to hear about the eye. Glad to hear that your ankle wound is almost healed and that you've got a new job.

[SpacecityPaula]

Yeah on finally getting a start date. That has to feel good after all this waiting.

[gregl515]

Ginger told me that my wound has healed today. I have to continue treatment for follow up, but I'm making progress. I'll still need surgery on my ankle.

I spoke to my wife and she is happy for me but she reminded me that when I start working I need to get her name off the joint debts I am paying. I know that, but I have to start working before I can refinance those debts.
