Day 85.

Max likes Athens because he can watch people walk by.

He also likes our bed.

My new knees turned 'one' yesterday and other than the right one not really bending, they're good. 

Good thing.
After a month of aggressive knee flexion PT, it feels like the scar tissue is starting to give up.  When I started, my flexion was at about 100 degrees and where I was sure it would be forever (things are rarely worse than I imagine).  A few weeks later, I was high-fiving Vinny the therapist at 114.  Yesterday it was 125-ish (with Vinny yanking on it until I yelped) when I limped out of the rehab clinic.  Enough to pedal my bike indoors pretty well but not quite enough to walk down stairs without turning sideways.

Femur.
If I really concentrate, my limp is better but not good.  Still hurts a bunch but they tell me that's normal.  Can get around without crutches it just looks funny.

School.
Monday we're heading back down to Ohio and school.  With six weeks left in the semester, going back will be weird.  I feel really disconnected but it was 60 degrees today in Athens and a trip will be fun.

The skyping novelty wore off about a month ago.  We got tired of not really being able to see and not really being able to hear or participate.  Last week in 'Production' class we had Skype sound but no picture. Vince sneaked off to ski and everyone thought he was still sitting there 'in class'.

Skiing.
More like a timid shuffle, but just being able to get outside makes me a whole lot happier.  The other day in the entryway I ran across a plastic bag of ski clothes and realized it was from the hospital.   The stuff I was wearing when I had my accident.  It was all there except one glove and my panties which made me worry about which panties I'd had on when I crashed.  All the times I'd laughed about those 'wearing clean underwear in case you're in a car accident' warnings...

I want to talk about our trip to Arizona.  Just  not tonight.
