So the visit with the higher level sports med doc Thursday revealed that my knee is healing, just slowly. Despite the results I got Monday. I guess this sports med doctor knows a bit more about reading the MRIs than the other one and he said they lag. He would not expect to see more … [Read more…]
The (?) is because it’s been super cold the last couple of days. Here it is the 2nd weekend in June, and we had a lovely Memorial Day, by some miracle. We had a few really hot days, and some pretty hazy days from the Canadian wild fires, but we’ve had a lot of sunny … [Read more…]
At least in terms of eating & drinking, and NOT doing any work. On Thursday, I left my book sale volunteer job early, and went and got CSA box #2 of the season (box 2 for me, because I get an every other week box; it’s actually week 3 of CSA season). Heavy on greens: … [Read more…]
Jeez, I started this post on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, added a bit on the Monday, and am now trying to wrap it up on the following Thursday, and that’s already June 1, this year. Traditionally on Memorial Day I invite people over for a picnic/cookout in the driveway and backyard. This year, because … [Read more…]
There is a fine coat of dust on many of the surfaces in my house, at least the ones that I have not cleaned yet. And no not like dust in the Phillip Pullman books, that’s an elementary particle, the stuff of angels. This is plaster dust, fine dust that sifts in everywhere, and it’s … [Read more…]
I hope! I feel like this is kind of the danger zone, 5 weeks on crutches, that I hit once before when I started building up my walking and turned out my knee was still broken. I’m still trying NOT to walk farther than a couple of blocks, but last week I started biking again, … [Read more…]
Friday was the last day of classes. It was a Jasper-care day for me, doing some grading and catching up on email while he napped. The kids let me off early because I had to drive down to campus to run the iSchool student awards ceremony, a hybrid event, decoupled from the graduation ceremony for … [Read more…]
Google remembers the dearly departed Alan Rickman. Google Doodle, April 30, 2023 Kind of nice to commemorate a day when he had a career success in the theater, rather than death day, or even birthday. What a week – the electricians are here, curing the knob & tube – essentially rewiring the entire house – … [Read more…]
The featured image shows my Monday morning when I was resisting doing my non-weight-bearing exercises – but I did finally get moving and felt better for it. Tuesday was a Jasper day and we had some fun but he was a little unsettled and I probably am not hipped enough into his, as Al said, … [Read more…]
My knee is still broken. The follow up MRI I had last Tuesday showed my knee fracture is not healed. I got the results Tuesday night in UWHealth MyChart – since the MRI was a referral from Group Heath, GHC, to UWHealth, then I got the results again from GHC Wednesday morning. I waited until … [Read more…]
