THE CRIPPLE SIGNING IN

This will be short. Sitting at the computer and standing at the kitchen counter are two of the most uncomfortable positions for me. The surgery went very well on the 22nd. On the 26th I transferred to a rehab hospital where I got excellant care with daily physical therapy, occupational therapy and pool therapy. The latter was done in water over 90F, just about body temperature. I was wheeled down a ramp into the water in a pool chair and as soon as my joints hit the water they felt great. By eliminating most of the gravity I could do all kinds of things with little or no pain that couldn't be done with gravity. Came home on the 2nd and I'm getting PT three times a week here and a list of exercises to do three times a day. I'm still taking some heavy duty narcotics for pain and napping. Things are going much better than the last time three years ago. Better surgeon, better hospital etc. Gotta go lie down.
