So I decided to play this weekend's gigs! I don't think I can drive with the leg immobilizer (though I haven't actually tried), so I asked my sister if she'd be willing to drive me to today's gig at the lakefront, and also drive me to Milwaukee for tomorrow's very long gig. She said yes to both, after I told her I'd give her $200. I was going to offer more if necessary, but she jumped on that. It seems we're both looking forward to spending the hours together as we haven't had the chance to visit lately. My knee is doing well and getting stronger, I barely take NSAIDs and I'm getting the staples out tomorrow morning. I'm anxious to start the rehab and get out of the immobilizer and into a less cumbersome brace. I'll come back to report on how the gigs go,I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
