Rant #3,272: The Waiting

Physically, I am doing pretty well right now.

Considering where I was and where I should be now, I am doing fine.

I don't get physical therapy at home anymore as of yesterday, as the home physical therapist signed off on me.

When I go to my doctor/surgeon on February 1, he should be giving me clearance to go to an outside physical therapist.

That is an extremely important milestone, because my leg will now begin to be manipulated, not just straight as.it is now.

It will be the first step for me to get back.to walking with minimal.help.

And it will also mean that I am closer to being able to drive again and get back to my normal activities.

Look, I still have months of rehab ahead of me, but you have to be able to take the first step ... and I think I am nearly at that first step.

My life was turned upside down when I was injured, and the second time sround may have set me back at least six months.

It upended my family and the world that the three of us once lived in.

You throw in.everything else that happened to us--including our move-- and we really got hit by the proverbial bus during the last quarter of calendar year 2023.

2024 has been better in its early days, but a lot of the suffering we went through in 2023 has carried over to the new year.

And then the house ...

You know as much about the sale as we do, and for a dwelling that was as hot as could be and we expected to be sold ASAP--like by the middle of December--this soap opera has now dragged out into the middle of Janusry, and who knows how long this will.last?

As they say, the waiting is the hardest part, and patience is something that I am running out of.

I just want to walk again, and I just want the house to be sold.

Are these desires I have too much to ask?

Have a great weekend, and I will speak to you again on Monday.
