It is harvest week again, and my son is coming over to trim and otherwise help out, as he has with the last couple of harvests. I am doing better physically and emotionally, healing more each day. My pain is at a very manageable level, I usually don't even take NSAIDs and I even have a couple of Norcos left over just in case it gets bad one day. I was supposed to have my staples taken out last weekend, but my doc had to play golf or something, so I have to wait until Saturday. I hope I can get rid of this leg immobilizer soon and move into a smaller hinged knee brace. I'm not sure if I can drive, so I plan to go down to the car and see if I can get my leg in and drive relatively comfortably. I have two great gigs this weekend and I plan to actually play these instead of giving them away, as I've had to do with the last dozen or so gigs. I've been playing gig contractor for the last few weeks, and that has been painful in its own right paying out thousands of dollars. My colleagues loved it, though, and I'm sure some hope that I take longer to heal. I need to be able to drive to play this weekend's gigs, so fingers crossed. I'm still sleeping in my recliner, so my routine is sleeping for 2 hours, up for 3 or 4, then sleeping again a couple of hours. No real solid block of sleep, which fucks with me on a few levels. The surgical incision to my leg was MUCH bigger than I anticipated, it was quite shocking to see it the first time. The funny thing is my sister has the exact same scar from when she had a leg operation as a child, so we're twins now. Hope you're all doing well, I haven't been on the boards much lately.

Wow, that hurts just to look at it. Hope you're able to drive soon.
Honestly it's not painful. There maybe a pull or two but it's ok. I'm 5'4" on a good day. There haven't been a lot of good days, recently. You can decide if that's short
