We're trying something new today. As part of my therapy I will be
contributing to the blog from now on.
Yesterday was kinda tough. Despite lots of effort and pain, the range
of motion in my left knee is below expectations. Any bending past 100
degrees is incredibly painful.
The stitches from my toe surgery were finally removed yesterday. The
good news is that I'm healing very quickly. The downside to that was
new skin had grown over several stitches and cutting them out was
bloodier than expected.
Everyone seemed to have the same answer to problems yesterday: do more
at home. As a result, I will be in charge of updating this blog.
Feel free to email me if you think it's gone too long without an
update. Improving range of motion in the left knee will be another
responsibility for home. Dad feels as though he's picked up enough
over the past 4 months to be a physical therapist and had me doing
exercises before I even got out of bed this morning.
Despite the prospect of torture at home there's a lot to look forward
to. It's Christmas time and there are plenty of annual joys: Charlie
Brown, Christmas Story and the Grinch. I'm sure there's a wonderful
Sam Adam's brew for the season that I can't partake. I'm hoping I'll
be able to visit the Animink crew this week. I've yet to see the new
house and there are new people working there I haven't had the chance
to meet yet. Everyone is looking forward to Tomoka coming to visit.
It'll be exciting to share the Holidays with her.

Hey Jamie, Glad to hear you're blogging now! Hurry up and get out here for a visit. You'll Loooove the game room.
WOW! Good to hear from the wonder man himself. Remind your dad that for every set of exercises you do without complaining you get his share of Christmas cookies. That might keep him quiet for about 5 minutes. Please keep the news coming - miss you, big guy! love, m
Good call on the Christmas specials. I too am looking forward to a bevy of nonsensical claymation (although the Grinch does kick ass) goodness. I actually caught Rudolph last night. Gotta love all the un-PC dialogue in that one; as Donner's wife asks to be included in the search for her son she is met with, "This is man's work."
My personal favorite though would have to be the Santa Claus meets Masters of the Universe claymation epic that is The Life and Times of Santa Claus. Where else do you find Santa being raised by a group of woodland immortals, shadowed by a mountain lion familar and doing battle with trolls for the right to deliever toys.
Yeah, good times.
It's fantastic to hear from the miracle man himself. I look forward to updates from you on this Blog.
When Scott told me through Facebook that you had been injured in an accident, I fairly freaked out.
Wish you a speedy recovery and good times over the Christmas break. I hope it's not too cold for you! I hope you have a great time with Tomoka.
Me, I am going back to Japan next March, to work as an ALT, this time without Mayumi holding me back.
Take care Jamie! Merry Christmas. Work hard on your rehab and you can have beers next year.
