Rant #3,262: Can You Dig It?

My doctor's appointment went very well yesterday.

My wound is healing well, I can actually lift my left leg, and the only pain I had is when he removed my sutures--think of about 10 pin pricks taken directly ifrom your knee, and that was the level of pain I had--

So not much of anything.

He was very happy that I could lift my leg as high as I could--about seven or eight inches from a laying down position--and I think I really surprised him by my ability to do that.

He also gave me a new physical therapy itinerary that I have to pass on to my therapist, and it clearly laid out the timelone for my recovery.

We are talking about six months to a year until I will be able to fully get back to somewhere near where I was, and while thst is a bit much, I don't care how long it takes, I am going to beat this thing and become mobile again.

Now, what about this supposed snow we are getting this weekend?

There is no itinerary for this coming storm, but it appears that where I am, we are either going to get some appreciable snow after more than 700 days without anything, or we are just going to get a wintery mix that will be mainly rain, making a fine mush and slush outside.

I still hate snow, and my condition doesn't allow me to dig out of anything, but the best thing with where we live is that I don't have to clean a walk or driveway anymore.

We are not responsible for thst chore, as workmen will do that for us.

The parking lot will also be plowed, so I guess all that my family is responsible for is our two cars.

What a relief after digging out tons of snow during the past 50 years!

Who will dig out the old house?

Who cares!

We are just a few days away of fully divesting ourselves of that mess, so I wish the new owner well ... 

But when you own a home, you've got to dig, so I hope he has a shovel.

Have a great weekend, stay safe in whatever the heavens bring us, and I will speak to you again on Monday.

One question before I leave you: does anyone wear galoshes anymore?

Just asking for a friend.
