I am still off work

Foot update! I went to the doctor and he is keeping me off work until my foot heals more. I am starting physical therapy on Monday for a few weeks. He has encouraged me to start swimming and to migrate out of my walking boot.

The state of my foot injury

Today I return to see my doctor for a follow up appointment. Depending on what he says, I could return to work or be off longer.

I am able to walk now. I have special shoes and a walking boot. But, if I walk long distances I have a significant amount of pain. So, we will see. My appointment is at noon today.

What a waste of paper

This is going to go from the porch to the recycle bin. Why do they dump these books on us!

Since I have been off with my foot I have digging through old family photos. I have been amazed at how many pictures I have. I have a lot of photos! It has been nice to get a few out and share them with friends and family. There are so many great memories here!

Life: An amazing turn of events

Life is an amazing turn of events. It all happens so fast, but it doesn't seem like it does at the time. It only seems like yesterday, sometimes, that my sons were babies. Yet, it seems like so many lifetimes ago, because, well, in some sad ways it was lifetimes ago. Looking back is like looking back on a good book as you get toward the end. Each turn of the page leads to the next; happiness, sadness, joy, tears, triumph, miracles and tragedy. And, so it goes.

I grabbed a shot of Susie this morning as she was heading out. Camera phones just keep getting better. This was taken with an iPhone 4.
