Rant #3,257: Every Step Of the Way

I was back to my normal self yesterday.

I did everything I had to do, including work.

The physical therapist visited me, and I had a good session. 

I was given several more exercises to get myself better, and I was also restricted to one hour on the computer at a time.

One hour ... I kind of figured, because when I do my work, my leg does stiffen up after about an hour, so if that is all I can do, that is all I can do.

I also now have a walker, the one we got for my mother during her last months, and the physical therapist wants me to use that device as much as possible, rather than the crutches, because it will give me greater mobility.

I will do anything and everything to get better, so I will start to use the walker with my crutches as a backup, or when I need to go to the bathroom ... the bathroom is too narrow for the walker, so I will have to use the crutches for that matter.

Anyway, I was sad to hear of the passing of Tom Smothers yesterday.

I absolutely loved the Smothers Brothers when I was a kid, and they opened up my mind in a lot of issues that I probably did not fully understand at the time, but Tom and Dick got me thinking ... and laughing at the same time.

And they had the only comedy act that no one could steal jokes from, because all of their jokes were about being brothers.

So another Baby Boomer hero has left us ... but his legacy is out there, in video and in recordings.

"Mom liked you better!"
