I logged on to the unemployment site today out of habit, even though I knew consciously the program was over last week. It was so great to have the gov't pay my rent and all my bills for the last year and a half. Thanks, Obama! My nest egg has grown considerably. PT is going well, working at it each day, and both my therapist and doctor are impressed with my progress and range of motion (73 degrees!) I have a monster hinged brace with dials and latches, and all kinds of futuristic shit, but I rarely use it unless I'm doing some taxing physical labor (which I try to avoid at all costs.) I'm walking with my cane fairly quickly, with only a slight limp. At home I can get around pretty well even without the cane. I can tend my grow all by myself now, which is great timing as my kid just started working full time. The music biz is CRAZY busy! I've got gigs coming in from so many sources, and my SEO is driving many more people directly to my website. I missed the summer, but things are def looking up. I'm looking at houses and planning to buy one all cash soon. It is surprising how difficult it is to get in contact with a lot of these RE agents. Lazy fuckers. Hope everyone is well...
