Seemed to have turned a corner today. My pain is down to something similar to a headache (but in my knee). So I took one Advil at noon and nothing else. I may take a half-dose of hydromorphone to help me sleep tonight. I am also transitioning off of the crutches – using them mostly…
Knee
I had my first shower since the staples came out – it has cleaned up nicely. I found I could put my socks on – progress! I have started eating a bit more. My body looks similar to 2 weeks ago but my weight continues to drop. I was about 97 kilo (about 200lbs) before…
Knee
Well it turns out that sitting at my desk for more than 20 minutes causes my knee to get sore. So very little time at my desk. Staples came out today.
Bookkeeping, Knee

Snow, Vancouver
Snow We finally got some real snow. Vancouver To Lions Gate hospital for pre-surgery checkup. I arrived at the ferry just in time to be first in line for the next ferry. This is the second time leaving the Coast in the last year. Surprised to find it just as busy as a normal February…
Farm
Farm Got up. Got the garbage out. Got to the boat with plans to go to the Farm with two others from the Sandy Hook Community Association (SHCA). Meeting others did not go according to plan but I did, eventually, get out to the Farm with one. I have suggested that the fallen trees could…
