Day 15 of My Second Imprisonment

 I'm now just over 2 weeks into my second bit of post-surgical rehab.  Having been through the process once before, it was somewhat easier this time.  At least I knew what to expect and I had the "surgically altered" sneaker ready for hobbling around.  The crutches were abandoned after a couple of days and I was soon able to wear the old sneaker and move around more freely.  I even walked about 2 km on a nearby trail through the woods.  It was slow going, but nice, and since there was no snow, I only had to be careful that I didn't land on the injured foot the wrong way.  I can drive again.  Catherine's automatic is obviously easiest, but I can manage the truck as long as I'm careful how I push on the clutch.

Otherwise, I've had one day helping babysit the twins and it was only slightly more tiring than it usually is.  I spend my days working in the shop and reading by the fire.  We just got a thin layer of snow overnight and that may make getting around outside a wee bit more hazardous, but it should be manageable.  

Right now I'm planning on bandage removal in 5 weeks and then I can get into the ski season.  In the meantime, I have skis to wax, a number of woodworking projects and lots of books to read.  I'm trying not to spend any extra time on Facebook.....
