Stella yells at me about having allowed myself to be sent home "early," but there really wasn't much choice, thanks to the ins. co. So here I am, hobbling and hopping around and trying to strengthen my arms to make up for the missing foot.

Sparse blogging today, but continuous telephoning to line up every damned thing, all of which will fall on me like, um, bricks over the next couple of weeks.

You get a lot more 'bang for your buck' than a hospital setting. The other major benefit is that you can get a good night's sleep with no one disturbing you, and real sleep is really restorative in its own right.<br />Bryanhttp://whynow.dumka.us/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872647804241988041.post-10189302244129146062013-01-10T19:13:14.300-06:002013-01-10T19:13:14.300-06:00Indeed!
