Not ded

I haven't been around much lately, but it's been for (mostly!) good reasons.

I fired my orthopedic surgeon, and I have started seeing a well-recommended and highly regarded specialist.  Guess who turns out have had a torn ACL/PCL all this time?  JEEZ. 

Anyway, I am deep into weeks worth of pool and land PT.  It's going great, and I'm doing much much better.  Fewer meds needed, much better strength, able to do more things, etc.  Very exciting! 

I also went on a two week vacation.  I visited friends in Seattle, then I went to Alaska with my family.  I got to spend a lot of time with niece and my sister.  Annnnd, I got to see a family of humpback whales!  Which was just as cool as all those nature documentaries make it look.  Saw Tongass, too. 

At the moment, I am playing games with my geezer dog and having a nice summer.  The Pook is going deaf, so I'll be teaching him commands in sign instead of voice.  Should be fun!
