Thanks for asking, Stan. I'm still hanging in there.

One does not realize how much you actually do in life until you are suddenly made immobile. With this kind of break I have not been allowed to put any weight on the leg. That means I do not have a "walking cast". Crutches have been my means of getting around. I have found that I can predict the weather and I set off alarms due to the metal the surgeon put in my leg.

I go back to the orthopedic surgeon this Friday. He will x-ray the leg to see how the break is healing. If okay the cast comes off. If not, I'm not sure what will happen. At any rate I'm sure I will not be able to simply walk out of the office. There is talk of therapy and learning to walk again. May have to use a cane for awhile.

This has been a long ordeal that I do not wish on anyone. All I can say is be careful on those rear trailer doors. They are truly slippery slopes.

Hope to see everyone in the Spring.
Travis
