first work


I am now cane free.  My physical therapist, who visits my house three times a week, tells me I have three more visits and then I will be done with therapy.  Time to get to work.  (I did not realize until I saw the photograph that I was wearing my favorite tee shirt.)


The hardest part of the job is getting in the boat.  I need to build up strength and lateral mobility in my left leg, something that will take several more weeks.  So it was into Spartina gingerly.  I think I may add getting into and out of the boat to my daily physical therapy workout.


And then the work for the morning: measuring the centerboard pendant, which will be replaced.  I put in an order for 16' feet of Amsteel-Blue, which is fact grey, from Defender, along with a pack of 10 4" foam rollers for painting once the weather warms up.  Not a bad first day of work.

    Did you REALLY have hip surgery, or are you just looking for attention?

    Fancy that. My two favorite sailors both undergoing surgery at more or less the same time. Glad to see your recovery is going so well and wishing the same for Webb when it's his turn.

    Let me know where and when to meet you for the first sail! You know I'm only about 90 minutes away...

    Dave, I get that a lot. Walking four miles every day for about 10 or 12 years has really paid off.

    Marius, Webb and I do compare notes on physical therapy. I'm hoping he can resolve his issue with therapy alone. We'll see.
