Good to know you're on the mend.

POD #14 and 8th day back home from the hospital. Enough flexion to get in/out of the driver's seat. Drove my car into town today to take care of some office admin duties.

Flying solo at Chez Doc since coming home from my Kenai trip.

Monday PT session: 105 degrees passive flexion... 99 degrees active flexion.

Buoy 10 awaits!

8/14/2024

6/23/2024 - 8/14/2024, you have amazing recuperative skills. Good for you, retirement is looking better, for you, each and everyday.

Indeed Buoy 10 does await !!!!!!!!

Good news on the recovery. Keep up the good work and especially the PT. I do believe, though, that standing in a small boat will accelerate the return of fine muscle control in the legs for balance. I a sure the therapist would agree ; especially of you take them along.

Yup I can see your logic CM and I am willing to bet Doc is busy getting his game plan together!

6-week PO appt last Thurs.

Excellent alignment and signs of early bone re-growth on x-ray. Wound fully healed and the last remaining 7 stitches were removed.

112 degrees passive flexion (eventual goal ~130)
103 degrees active flexion

Started low-resistance exercise bike at last PT session.

6 more weeks NON weight bearing... so halfway there!

....

Now time to get back to prepping the boat for Buoy 10.

Great news all around. Keep consuming that Calcium. I remember my Doc telling me to do that, but also reminded me that Single Malts are not a source of it. Has other medicinal values, though.

120 degrees passive flex at PT this morning. Close to 10 minutes on the exercise bike.

Able to get in/out of the boat parked in the garage... SOLO!

Get ready, B-10.... here I come!

Glad you're back out. The stories and pictures are normally worth the wait. With a one-legged guide it out to be even better.
Tight lines!

Blyme matey, one-legged , eh?

That’s makes him a Pirate , and pirates can tame any sea with a single good leg !

Or a bit of B-10 chop for that matter. Anyone have an extra Parrot to lend here?

BTW, congrats on the mending, hope it continues at a positive & rapid pace.

Avast matey ! (I think that’s pirate talk?)

Been watching this on Facebook. Glad you are back Doc!! Looking forward to all the fishing you are going to do haha!

Been gone for a while and miss all the action.
Good to hear your recovery is working well, don’t push it too hard the second time is a lot worse.

Damn doc hope you're doing better man! I need to check on my old cronies more often.

Win that fight! We need you back on the water.

Got the surgeon's blessing to begin loading that injured leg with some body weight. Graduating to one crutch!

Really good news. With my ankle, it was so good to finally be able to stand on it some. Those leg muscles will need some work.
