Default Update on Earl

Ok, I know I should have really been keeping you informed on my progress but I honestly just got around to it.

Surgery went well on the 10th. that whole day was a blur to me thanks to the fun med's they knocked me out with. Despite my requeest, they did not send me home with a 6 pack of it.

I was transfered by the rehab facility van on Tuesday the 11th and it is there that I will reside until the 29th or 3rd of April. The food is medium quality at best but that might help me lose weight. The worst part of being here is they have to give me IV antibiotic from 2AM -4AM, not fun because it is a painful med.

So far (besides the pain from stretching muscles and tendons that are tightened up, I am progressing 'well" according to the RN's. Yesterday they me stand in the standing frame for 14 minutes, (google it) straps they wrap around your butt lift you out of your chair. Today they are going to try to get me in the parallell bars and try to make my first steps. Wish me luck.

Right now, I gotta take a nap before my next torture session.

Earl.
