Back in Columbia!!! Success!!!

My first few days back in Columbia have been really great! My dad and I have been hard at work getting my apartment ready. I have also gotten a haircut and I am getting caught up on my back log of work.

Planning Return to Columbia on Sept 4

I am planning to make a return to Columbia, although I will not be very mobile yet. This will however let me take care of my business and see my friends.

As it stands, I won't be able to put pressure on my right foot until December and can't walk until January. This injury is requiring a bit of planning now. Especially since it is not legal or covered by insurance to drive with a cast. I am looking at bus routes and possibly a wheel chair to be able to do shopping and the like. If anyone has any thoughts about wheel chairs please make a post or drop me an email.

Even though this is limiting I have never lost sight of the fact that I will get better or that it could have been much, much worse. I am probably happier now than before the accident, oddly enough.

My friend Holly called from Florida!

Thanks for the call Holly! Being unable to move about right now I really appreciate all of the attention.

Some of the visitors I had on the 2nd trip.

Pictured in order are Don and Twila with my mom and dad, Blaze (the motorcycle riding cat), Kyle, as well as Pat and Kristy.

Other visitors include the Pham Phamily, Selena, Lene, and Mike Cusack.

Thanks to everyone that has come by and to those that wanted to. It has been far from boring.

Post surgery x rays. Scary.

On the road to recovery!

Good News
Surgery will be on Wed. the 22nd at University Hospital. I will be back on the road to recovery soon. A cast is the next item on the list!!! Hurray!!! For the next surgery I will have a bunch of plates and screws put in my ankle and leg. It will be a fairly comprehensive fix backed up by a long period of rest. It will still be December before I can put weight on it and probably January before I am really "fixed".

My friends at Starbucks in Columbia have brought Curious George to lend me a hand while the work load is especially high here.

Curious is known for his work with PBS as well as in numerous books.

Thanks CG, Jessica, and my Starbucks family!
