So, got those and one more scan- a Dexa scan- then we reconvene in three weeks.
(Incidentally, in the course of this, the calcium levels came up / out- by themselves, they're good... as expected... .)
Next Tuesday, I see my orthopedic surgeon to explore resumption of full weight bearing and the details of my future course of activity, what sort of pain levels should persist, how long, etc.
So I'll be plenty busy dealing with all these doctors' visits... almost feel like I need a medical secretary just to keep track of it all!
I have started making inquiries to gain the information I'll need such that once we know what's going on with my body, WE can make a good decision about future vocational / educational issues. (Radiology was suggested by a well informed person close to the situation, and has much to commend it.)
However...
Another event happened yesterday which will doubtless affect how much time I spend online... where I'll be when, etc... for some time to come.
If you know us well, you know one of my family's hometowns is a bit to the north of Indy. A situation has arisen with the health of a person there which is quite alarming and has hit all concerned quite hard. As it plays out, it will take more of the family's time, attention, focus, energy, emotional resources.
I believe that's just enough information for those who know us well enough to know what I'm talking about.
That's all I care to say on the matter in this ueber-public place.
General trajectory of pain, range of motion, etc is good. If I overdo, my body tells me, so... live and learn.
Tess and I are getting outside together more... she shot a couple of good videos of me which I hope to upload soon under the title "Not disabled- logistically challenged."
Good thoughts and wishes to/for all out there!
