Catching up a bit. Last Friday I managed to fall off the bottom step
of the porch and onto concrete walk, gravel, and Smiling Buddha. My head
hit Buddha and the rest of me hit on my left side and away from the new
knee. Buddha is fine and still smiling; I have a knot and small cut on
my forehead where my hairline used to be. I was on my way to rehab and
they took it easy on me after I told my story. The therapist made up for
it Tuesday; I had appointment with knee surgeon for a checkup and rehab
had me come into their clutches 30 minutes beforehand to make sure the
leg was as straight as possible. After the surgeon visit, I went back to
rehab for another hour and one-half of hard work. When I was allowed to
escape, I felt terrible; sore and weary. Prior to this, I always felt
better after exercises than I did before. I don’t go back until next
Tuesday.
The boys have been over the past two Sundays and they are growing and
learning so fast. Sammy can talk some but would rather jabber in
Sammy-speak. Mason is starting to fight Sammy when he is bothering him;
going to be some fine rumbles pretty soon.
We had a freeze last night and tonight is supposed to be our first
hard freeze if last night wasn’t already one. I went to doctor for
checkup and could not wait to get back home to my warm house.
Living on these crutches is very bothersome; it wasn’t terribly bad
before surgery when i was resigned to using them for a long time but now
that I can foresee a future without them makes me want to throw them
down and walk like a man.
For anyone interested in rock n’ roll history,
Amazon Prime has a documentary movie titled
Sound City “Directed
by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), SOUND CITY tells the story of
rock n’ roll’s greatest recording studio, and the musical magic it
continues to inspire.”
I recommend it as a must see for all true rockers. I could not find it on Netflix but outtakes can be found on Youtube.
