Back to Blogging

I haven't blogged in a long time and to be honest, I'm not sure why. I think it's the lack of interesting things that have been happening to me as a result of staying home a lot and recovering. Speaking of which, the knee is coming along: my flexion is at about 110deg (thanks to physio 3 times/week) though my extension is not as good as it could be. It still swells when I do my exercises, but I'm walking without crutches, finally. I had a tiny "scare" last week: I had to start taking antibiotics again as a precautionary measure when I found a little hole in the area of my incision site (see photo below). This hole was caused by a stitch that the nurse left behind. There is no infection, but Dr. Theo thinks it's better to be safe than sorry.

My (unshaven) battle scars

More frequent blogging to come, especially since I'll be in SJ in 2.5 weeks for American Thanksgiving.
