    Another trip around the Sun. It's a rocky road but I hope that the coming year will be much easier on you. Reduce the work load and increase family time.

    Thanks everyone----I'm worn out!

    The good news is that today I started to transition from the walker to a cane

    Glad you are up and about sort of. Cane beats a walker any day. Happy Birthday.

    Thanks to all

    As an update---I went back to see the surgeon last Wednesday and he debrided the open portion of the wound (which is pretty extensive). That induced both significant pain and bleeding. He had me come back on Thursday and did a little more scraping but also noticed a bacterial invasion on the open wound. He was not concerned from the standpoint of infection but said it would retard healing---so now I get my leg re-wrapped three times a day with medical vinegar compresses----and no it doesn't feel good!

    I think they are trying to pickle me

    The good news is that I continue to gain strength and extend my range of independence.

    Independence!
    That's a good way to measure the progress. Keep on keeping on Dave!
