I made it!!

I made it through surgery fine. It turns out that my ACL was stretched but not torn and so the doctor left it. He said that it was starting to tighten back up and I can tell. He did clean out some scar tissue and some torn meniscus. I actually got up and walked out of the office and it wasn't too bad, until the pain medicine in my knee wore off. Then it was not quite as much fun. I can walk and all, but I do have a bit of a limp. I am strengthening my knee through some workouts, and I can tell it is getting better. I am going to start therapy this week.

On the non-surgery side, I went geocaching again yesterday. I hit up three different caches. One was right near the Krispy Kreme, which made things interesting. Caches in Little Rock are tough because of all the people nearby, so I have to be extra careful. V is going home this weekend and I am staying around to meet up with the RFCs for Spring Retreat, so I am going to go caching again today once V leaves. There's apparently a huge park in the middle of Little Rock with a few caches that I am going to knock out. I hope to find another geocoin. What's a geocoin you ask? Well I will attach a picture. This one will be hard to let go of; it's a cool little German coin. I found it near the Game and Fish Commission. Their building is really cool; it looks brand new.

Going under...one last (hopefully) time

So I have a torn meniscus in the back of my knee and my ACL is critically weakened. The doctor is going in orthoscopically tomorrow to repair the meniscus and check the ACL with surgery on it if needed.

So this weekend I am enjoying the ability to walk and enjoying it with Vanessa. It is Valentine's day weekend and all. We didn't do anything real special, just investigated some sports store sales and made sushi and went to this trendy restaurant in West Little Rock. We got some killer stuff at the stores, including but not limited to: ski pants, ski goggles, and some thermals. We also managed to find some nice sandals for cheap.

So yeah, that pretty much sums up my life right now. I worked for the last two weeks and got quite a bit done, even though it was painful at times. Work went really well; I stayed really busy.

So this will be the last post for a little bit, until I can get back up and moving and find some firewall-free internet.
